If a pub and not BFC's Garden of Earthy Delights, then at least we should be able to sit outside tomorrow evening. The OT is a known quantity - unless there is any experience of the arrangements somewhere else?

Happy to hear there again. Do you want to ride down together this time ?

My route today finished at The OT and I had to rehydrate, perhaps I can reserve some outdoor seating though to be honest, it was empty for the 2 beers I had in there today...

I'm still under a home office ban from pubs.

I don't really mind where but need to chill some beer if it's garden based...

Whatever happened to warm British beer?

Testify.

BFC's then to allow more to get out?

I can swing through Felsted again. As I'm in charge of dinner tomorrow, I'll aim to leave well before 19:00 from Dunmow, assuming we're still meeting at 20:00-ish?

The fridge has bugger all in it, I don't normally chill beer (the North facing porch is always colder than the ambient tempreature).

30 bottles (500ml) of Marstons group ales can go in the fridge tonight, for extras will have to visit the local Morrisons tomorrow. Cider (Magners or Strongbow in cans) available. Alcohol free can involve coffee (black, highly recommended), tea (ancient teabags, no milk available, only one person has ever let me make them a second cup), and will research the aisles for zero alcohol beers at Morrisons wearing the ninja mask.

Garden infrastructure (gazebo, parasol, bike parking etc) will require a few hours to assemble, can find a few more chairs than last time.

Hedgehogs may have to re-schedule their normal garden patrol and diner to later.

BFC's then ok?

Btw, Co-op in Dunmow has St Peter's alcohol-free bitter Rob, if you're interested? I will be passing sometime tomorrow during the day and later on too of course. I owe you a pint, I've just remembered!

Don’t worry about getting zero beers in if it’s just me. I’m very happy with coffee.

See you later.

I’ll take a trip in some point this week, thanks. I need to book a haircut.

We can sort the odd pint soon enough.

Drop me a text when you set off and I’ll keep an eye out. The for sale signs have now disappeared from the gate.

Hoping to be out tonight, so could you let me know what sort of time you’ll be swinging by mine please?

Btw, had a bit of nightmare last night, dreamt my bike had been stripped for parts and Boris Johnson was going to sort it out for me...!

Tomsk · « **Reply #14938 on:** 15 July, 2020, 02:00:12 pm »

I'll text when I leave Dunmow: 20 minutes to Felsted, another 5 or so to Thistley Green? Aiming for around 18:45 start from here.

Should be plenty of bottles - 60 Marstons group (Classic Ales and Amber Ales boxes), plus Cider and a few others. Picked up a few bags of crisps to maintain everyones balanced diet.

If we want another garden party then you're all welcome to come to here on Wednesday evening? (Assuming the weather's ok - very limited under-cover seating!) If anyone would like beer supplies, then I can get in a selection of Bishop Nick from Luckins. Order a takeaway curry from the Jalsa Ghar if you're hungry?

I’m back in Mid-Essex but work might interfere with Wednesday evening

The hedgehog forgave you all for disrupting it's meal on Wednesday...

Now to work out how to put a photo onto a forum! Unlike the rest of the computing world "paste" or "Ctrl V" doesn't work

Tomsk · « **Reply #14947 on:** 21 July, 2020, 07:05:17 pm »

So, all coming over here, or do we need a more central venue? Beer supply offer still applies if here ...

Unfortunately I'm on a conference call tomorrow evening.

Happy for that, I might try an automated start for the telescope as well to see how that goes!

I wouldn't mind beer being bought - I owe Ian a pint or two as well...

How much a bottle? I am thinking of limiting to 3 or 4

20:00 arrival again?
