As the nights draw in...

So today is the longest day then. Really? It's flown along at it's usual pace from where I was.

Still, tonight does bring something of a change as I break the school night rule; yes I'm sneaking out for a couple of pints on a week night.

The special occasion that warrants such carefree abandon is the re-opening of the Tap after their closure for refurbishment. Well actually, they've only been closed for four days. And quite honestly, I don't usually get in there between Saturday night and the following Friday anyway.

It brings promise of a smoke free atmosphere a week before they have to, new decor and an extended kitchen (with rumours of hours to match).

Is that enough of an excuse? Clutching at straws I guess...
