109. Fri 2/6/17: Bricklayers Arms, Luton

Beer: Milestone Mild 4%

Post gig (Barton/Stoneman Quintet at The Bear) – back to The Brickies. My notes get less coherent, but they’re mercifully brief. They are (verbatim):

Arguing. 60s pop. Beatles, Dylan, Who, Moon

Sexy cats (house cats – pre-spay)

Plans for Praha

My odd lens. What the f*ck does it do?

See pic. It apparently plays tricks with light and focus. I must have had the lamp that night – but see pic, of the same kind of mild, from our first visit dans L’Briqs earlier in the evening. Quite interesting… colour has come out nice. I’ll have to dabble anon.

107 Fri 020617: Bricklayers Arms, Luton

Beer: Nethergate Lemon Head 4%, Milestone Mild 4%

Balmy early summer evening in the Brickies; my brother and I moan about jobs/employers.

Brian Webb arrives and we talk to him/his mate about Luton Town history. We go on to discuss pub crawl opportunity in the town now. It’s pretty poor…

That said, it’s free in for Bear Keepers* down The Bear tonight.

* Bear Keepers are them that pay £8 a month by direct debit to keep The Bear going. My brother and I are BKs. Although I very rarely go Bear – I like that it’s there.



On the evening of the 2nd, Leighton wasn’t out. Leighton hates music and will not entertain the notion of going to The Bear.
