After a fun day out in Chester, I'm back in Ewloe but spending a few hours at the Crown & Liver and @scottgull.bsky.social got me to do some karaoke

Thanks Keef. You too 👍 🍻

Now I'm at @paysan.bsky.social and as well as great drinks, they have a great selection on the jukebox. I haven't checked the jukebox out in ages and I forgot just how much good stuff is on there!

A rare Saturday afternoon out in Chester for me! Starting in the outskirts of the city, including here at the Cross Keys, and a Green Monkey by Joule's #BskyBeer

041

As it's the weekend, it's only right to have a Weekend Project while watching the Sunday afternoon football! Hills End, a 5.5% abv pale ale #BskyBeer

I really wish more pubs/bars in @shitchester.bsky.social used BlueSky - I would drop X in a flash.

Been out to Chester today, and it's been a good day out as always. Even the weather hasn't been as bad as predicted today! Been to a few places today, including @paysan.bsky.social, @oldecottage.bsky.social and Deva Tap. Cheers @scottgull.bsky.social 🍻

Got a bit of a light show this evening!

000

And not even 5 minutes had gone by then!

000

New season, same shite defending...

Wow, Aston Villa are getting absolutely destroyed by Brighton! And it's only been 30 minutes!

001

How I'm spending my Sunday afternoon after taking care of a few things this morning. I like how I can now have multiple live sports streams on Sky now! 👍

Damn, that was a huge smash for Verstappen! At least he got out OK. It's good to see F1 back! #Formula1

New season, same Spurs! 🤣🤣

Banning VPNs would be a bit like banning locks because some people use them to hide wrongdoing. VPNs underpin remote work, banking, security and privacy. You can outlaw providers, but the traffic can be disguised or rerouted. The result: inconvenience and workarounds.

I was gonna have a burger at Chester Market today, but NiceBites was closed today for some reason. So I ended up at Basement 85 to try the burger and I'm glad I did!

011

After a good day out in Chester (despite the rain!), I'm finishing off the day at the Glynne Arms in Hawarden.

000

It's at where the old Henry Potts pub used to be, on Watergate Street towards the racecourse.

100

Now I'm at Basement 85 and they serve burgers from Fully Loaded Grill here now. Decided to have it and I have just three words for it - wow, wow, wow! Could be the best burger I've had in Chester! And that's a big claim considering I've always loved the burgers at Chester Market!

Now I'm at Brewhouse, with their £3.65 cask ales deal on at this time of day. Decent cask too, a single hop pale by Brewhouse themselves.

Back out in Chester today, and for a change, I'm starting my pub crawl from the other side of the city to where I normally start! Starting at That Beer Place!

All these alerts going off on people's phones tonight - is this some kind of error? Surely the government aren't using a system designed to warn of actual threat to life to tell people not to bbq in a drought, but only right at the end of the drought when a lot of the damage has already been done?

021

But why now? Why not several weeks ago when weather was even hotter? Today is a lot cooler and it's gonna be this way for the foreseeable future. Don't tell me the government are gonna start abusing the alert system...

011

That's the first alert outside of a test that I got on my phone! But the last few days have been hot as fuck, and today is a lot cooler. So why today? 🤔

000

Now I'm at @paysan.bsky.social @curiousgnome.bsky.social with a Tsunami by Atom. Also, loving the Pride art in the shop window #BskyBeer

Out in Chester today and it's gonna be a busy day in the city with the Tom Jones and Nile Rodgers concert later so I'm out early. Currently having a Chouffe Session at Beer Heroes #BskyBeer

061

Gone down to my local for the afternoon (Running Hare in Ewloe), and had to have the Hawkstone IPA #BskyBeer

There's also some cube inserts that IKEA sell that go into these cubes, such as small cupboard doors and drawers which could come in handy for certain things (and could also help in blocking the view of some of the ugly cables behind), but I'm not in too much of a hurry to get them right now.

000

Jono @dynamojono.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Got myself a new shelving unit from IKEA Chester today. Not too bad at all. Just need more Lego sets to put in these cubes!

Yet again, more water problems! I have lost track of how many times there's been some kind of issue with the water supplies or burst pipes in the area just in the last week or so! It's becoming an absolute joke. An utter embarrassment. Welsh Water, sort your shit out!

Back out in Chester today, despite the races being on. Started down the Handbridge area and slowly making my way back into the city, stopping off at some of my favourite places along the way.

010

Back home now. Nice day out in Mold today. Only the second time I've been there this year, but I need to go there more often! It may be a small town, but with the likes of Polly's, Mold Alehouse, Beer Lab, Fat Boar and Y Delyn, it's a top place to go to for good beer for a small town!

000

One more place to visit in Mold before I head home, and it's Y Delyn. Can't believe I haven't been to this place until today! Absolutely will be back here again!

000

Next, I'm at the Mold Alehouse. Had a Tiny Rebel Bullet Tooth Tony and also a Bearwood Spinner hazy pale #BskyBeer
