Racing to get all the things finished for a work project that is going live today... and then it was pushed back a week. I'm all done! Not sure why it has been pushed back, but I think we can relax a bit now, use this time to go back and do some things again that we might have rushed, and also pick up some of the little odds and ends we found along the way.
I'm trying to wind down ready for a holiday. I'm off on Thursday, then the holiday starts. I'll release this later but for now it's staying in a hidden comment here so no-one robs my house. I think it's going to be fine, there's actually nothing for us to do until go live. A bit of a shame it'll be going live when I'm on holiday, I hope no-one else takes all the credit. Really looking forward to this little holiday.
Insane amount of rain for a short while today, it really came down. Then when I went for a walk to Sandgate and back before dinner it felt super calm and quiet and peaceful, but too cold for the end of July.
Doors of The Sandgate Hotel were open today. Not open for business, but the front doors were open and someone was moving about in there. If you were going to try and open it for this year, for this summer, you'd have done it by now surely.
Hmm not sure I mentioned yesterday, we went for a walk and stopped at The Royal Norfolk. It's not a crazy rumour, they really do have some real ale in there. They had three, all from Cornwall. Two very obvious ones, Proper Job and Doom Bar. I had to look that up, I have an actual mental block about the beer Doom Bar and I can never remember the name. Doom Bar, Doom Bar, Doom Bar. Wonder if that will stay in my head? The other beer was Betty Stogs from Skinners brewery. It was nice to see something different but it wasn't really much different to Doom Bar. Still if they keep this up and rotate the beers this could be a good place.
We walked past Docker, and while they are advertising TEN BEERS from the outside they do say they're all "craft".
