Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Managed to dodge the worst of the weather up here, hope everyone is okay.
I'm meeting my gaffer from my previous job in Glasgow for a few pints today.
We'll meet in the city and walk out to Patrick Cross via a few hostelries, find a place for eats then jump the bus or underground back to the city whatever time that maybe all dependant on the weather but it's not too bad a forecast tbf.

Well I got home last night to another blackout. Luckily Rob had a torch in the car so was able to help me find my own torch so I could get upstairs to bed. All OK this morning.

Had a really good night. His mates from the round table always make me feel very welcome, plus I won the raffle which was a bottle of coffee rum, whatever that is. The ticket was drawn by this old guy who just happens to be an Evertonian. So there were cries of fix which was quite amusing. We were also playing the darts version of killer and I somehow made it down to the last two.

Hopefully my mild hangover dissipates by 5pm in time for my G&T. Have a great day everybody.

Glad you had a good night and the power is back on.

More bad weather forecast for the weekend I think

It sounds like a great night! I guess Rob knows you well enough to do what I often do : “ No, no I insist on driving, you have a drink .” , secretly relieved that I don’t have to keep up with the drinking and the inevitable hangover the next day 🙂

Well I don't drive BL so he has no choice really.😀

Also, up until around an hour before we left his wife was giving us a lift as she was going to a friends for tea but it was cancelled last moment.

Rob isn't a big drinker tbh but his mates certainly are.
 
Lovely day here at the moment, we are having a bonfire and fireworks at the pub tomorrow, usually a big event and as usual I will be lighting the bonfire and setting off the fireworks display. Unfortunately the forecast is not too good but the rain may stop an hour or two before we start. We have all sorts of outside stuff, BBQ, school PTA selling stuff, outside bar as well as the pub so it will be a shame if it’s ruined, but we cannot control the weather…..

Hope the weather holds. Your pub sounds like a proper hub for the community. Enjoy.
