Exhausted after immensely busy day at work (amazing to have so much support, but wow, it is tiring too!). Pondering going to take some pics after work, or just trudge tiredly home when chum texts to say they're in my local. Problem solved...

Taken this day, 2020, Diggers pub during COVID https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/50555650826/in/photostream/lightbox/

The pubs were still closed, but they could serve "takeaway", filling up bottles from the ale taps, behind screens. I waited my turn (only a couple allowed in at a time for social distancing) and bought a few pints to support my local. Such weird times...

Diggers During Covid

A once regular occurrence when younger, a few pints with chums after work, now, in middle age, a much rarer happening. Ales, craic, and pies may also have been involved...

Awaiting arrival of a chum, may as well make a start on the Jarl and have a read. Relaxing beer in Diggers, where you can still get two pints for under a tenner, an increasing rarity these days...

Slow amble homeward, evening sunlight still bright and warm. Paused to take more photos along Canalside, then found myself passing Diggers and thinking, well, I'm in no hurry to get home, so another rehydration & reading session it is ...

Should go home... Or have another pint and keep reading...

Yeah, that really wasn't a difficult decision...

Continuing to read while also reacquainting myself with an old friend, a pint of Deuchars.
Along with Caley 80, my go-to ale for many years.

Really not what it once was, supplanted by newer, better IPAs, but still decent enough pint. On draught in the local (for a mereΒ£3.90!), so indulging in nostalgia. Or should that be "nostalegia"?πŸ˜‹
