Day off movie outting marred by alarm & evacuation of cinema. Fortunately we got back in eventually and saw rest of screening (zero points to cinema staff who never once talked to the hundreds of viewers waiting & wondering, though)
Now post film pint of the Old Speckled Hen to rehydrate....

Escaped noisy kickyball crowds at my end of town, awaiting chum in Cloisters, which thankfully died not have TV, so no sports fans shouting away at telly.

An extraordinary #discovery. A #pub unchanged for 50+ years! Caramel-stained roof from #tobacco and #wood #smoke. Flaking #paint and faded #pictures on walls. Grimey, threadbare #carpets. Ripped #upholstery on chairs. This is the #chaos through the tiny serving hatch. No #website. No #sign on the road. Hidden from view. And I’m not telling you where it was, because I want this place to stay unchanged forever! The #beer? Crystal clear, perfect temperature. The finest #pint I’ve had in ages! 🥰🥰🥰

José Eduardo Agualusa and Daniel Hahn had an interesting discussion about titles last time.

Almost as good as a pint well poured - a pint well lit...
I've really enjoyed discovering great new reads via the online Portuguese in Translation Book Club (PinT) this year. There's still time to read Emilio Fraia's (very short 😉) Sevastopol, translated by Zoë Perry, before upcoming 5th session at 7 pm (GMT) on 30 November. The author and translator will be talking about the book and answering questions. You can watch clips from previous sessions at pintbookclub.com/programme
