Car Park Arms

Waking up this morning was a bit strange. It is one of the few days I have thought 'what am i going to do today?' It is windy with rain in the air and most of the indoor DIY has been completed. SWMBO aka FLOW sadly had the funeral of one of her uncles to attend so I needed to kick start myself PDQ.

First thing is I thought I had fixed the washing machine which has been strolling round the utility room like R2D2, so why not test that out? All worked fine, tick. The wonder of locking nuts. Wine rack needed topping up from the delivery we had yesterday so that's done, another tick. Then I  had a result, India v England in a T20 to watch.

Then as if people knew my inner self, the phone began to ring, so suddenly its beer o'Clock time, and there was good news on that front today as Greene King announced that our two local pubs, The Shrewsbury Arms and Caernavon Castle will be opening from 12th April as car park beer gardens. The Carv is massive and should be a hoot. The Shrew has their car park on the other side of the road so punters and staff are going to have to be careful.

They are only following our lead as number 2 son and I have set up a Car Park Arms in the eh, car park, for some weeks now. We just need a pub sign of the wall!

The drinking scene was a discussion point amongst the inner sanctum at the golf club this week. we have appointed a new chef and front of house manager, and the thinking is that members will start to use the place more in the evenings as a local because they will be comfortable with the clientele. In a pub or bar you are more likely to get random's or out of towners which may make people feel a bit uncomfortable. anything which makes the club a busier environment will be great.

So the day has turned out to be fine and dandy, and there is rugby for the next two days as well as a tasty North London derby on Sunday. Only 12 more sleeps before the golf course opens too. In the meantime I must groove my swing and restore that muscle memory for the upcoming season.
