if you’ve followed me here you will know I have a cat called Kaos. I have even included him in Prosepoem and musings on here.

last week he died. i miss my lap buddy. my late night writing buddy.

he was a stray that adopted us. a real personality. chaotic. it was his nature.

i’m late to this one but seems my early poetry work ‘Screaming In A Vacuum Jar’ was scraped for AI

i was joking the other day that my work was of so little value it hadn’t been scraped. i was wrong.

Revamped open planned pub in nondescript colour scheme. 11 craft beers on offer. We tried the Limoncello IPA from Ora. The toilets were fresh painted but extremely dark.

Ship and Pilot, Broad Street, #Ilfracombe, #EX34
Beer: 5/10
Toilets: 6/10

Just opened after a make-over making the whole pub like someone’s lounge with a penchant for shiny sofas. Had a locally brewed Beach beer which wasn’t much better than Tribute.

whilst I was in Bristol I watched balloons. Slow as a snail in the wet. did not visit bookshops. instead spent time with no. 1 to hear of enthusiastic adventures.

Famous Royal Oak, St James Lane, Muswell Hill, London
Beer: 3/10
Toilets: 3/10

This pub is supposedly the last wooden inn in London. Full of white painted oak beams and elderly drinkers who like a spot of pool. Beer was non-descript tasting with nothing to excite.

The Old Club House, Buxton, Derbyshire

Beer: 4/10
Toilets: 7/10

A Greene King you can’t rate the beer highly. You get a Landlords, Best or other. The best on offer is Punk IPA. The toilets are clean & functional up some steps. The building is impressive.

The Nag’s Head, Edale, Derbyshire

Beer: 6/10
Toilets: 5/10

A Grade II listed Inn with a few local or craft beers on offer. Oak beams, and toilets with modern tiles and sinks but could do with more closer monitoring for cleanliness.
