Binning Feeble-Minded Nonsense

This evening's walk took us in the direction of the ever-lovely Mumbles:

Our slightly earlier than usual arrival rewarded us with a pretty fine sunset:

En route, we stopped off at the West Cross Inn for a very delicious squash curry with was 10 out of 10 for both portion size and taste :)

Our bellies full, we then continued down to Mumbles for a cocktail at the Gin and Juice:

Our spirits high, we then headed back to our awaiting care...

...en route to which, we came across this feeble-minded nonsense:

Which, of course, we tore down and dumped it where it belonged:

Going up in the world

 Friday night had us take in a couple more pubs after work. First though, we needed those important steps. A new route tonight led us passed this magnificent doorway - which, to all appearances, looked like the entrance of some magnificent, but daunting, otherworldly kingdom:

The entrance to Brangwyn Hall

Brangwyn Hall Doors

Had an evening meal with our first beverage in Foundry & Co, before heading to the Meridian Tower's Altitude Bar.

Meridian Tower, Swansea's tallest building

En route, I stopped here - I am not usually a fan of this sculpture in the marina, but tonight it really did appear as something special:

Onwards and upwards:

Can you spot te DJ doing his thing?

The views from the top of the tower are literally breath-taking:

And then it was time to head back along Swansea Bay to our awaiting car:

Pub Crawl

Tonight's walk was a filler to our pubcrawl around the Uplands. We took in 3 pubs:

The Tavern

Noah's Yard

Jack Murphy's

Got a bit drunk watching the Karaoke in the last pub, and ended up not getting home until 1.15 a.m., laden with a few Quince fruits from the community orchard:

An absolutely glorious full moon met as as we reached Swansea Bay tonight

Tonight's watering holes were:

Gin and Juice

And:

The Pilot

Mrs P.L., Walking Challege - Day 16

 Another beautiful evening down Swansea Bay:

Took in a couple of bars/pubs, which were unusually quiet. The 3 staff at The Observatory outnumbered the customers, which were just me and Mrs P.L.

Following a pretty decent cocktail, we next visited Swansea's oldest pub, The No Sign Wine Bar, where we shared the pub with just 2 elderly men.

Our spirits warmed by a couple of pints, we left the pub at closing to complete the long walk along Swansea Bay to the awaiting car.

Mrs P.L.'s Walking Challenge - Day 15

I joined my lovely wife's walking challenge again tonight. So glad we went down Swansea Bay again as the shy but powerful Harvest Moon brought some tremendous, crashing waves to our feet:

Even though the waves roared to the shore at speed, the evening air was walm and held no breeze, making us slow our steps despite our awaiting destination - The Queen's Hotel pub:

Our dry throats quenched, we resumed our trek:
