West Beers : Every Thursday @ The Lamb Brewery, W4 4PH

Three very reasonable suggestions.
Anyone demurring?

You're a true survivor @mespilus enduring such toxic mixes!

Home schooling stopped a while back. Way too stressful, especially with both parents trying to work in one open plan space. His (and ours!) mental health has really suffered during this lockdown. He's back on school Monday which will be very interesting...

@Greasy_Slag dragged me alog

So why didn't you drag the log yourself?

School: primary or secondary?
How many other kids is he likely to interact with?

Socially distanced
Tramp Beers, (Pint of Hops, Churchfield Road feature on the 'Ales, Beers...' thread),
Wormwood Scrubs,
Any advance?
Name a time.
I could collect thin crust Lebanese 'pizzas' from Kamil Bakery on the way.
(Their website says they are 'Open', presumably for takeaway).

I'm happy with that as long as weather is OK.

Wormwood scrubs is good for us, but north Acton playing fields is near a great fish and chip ship and Indian takeaway, so that might be nice too

fish and chip ship

Oh, where is it moored?

I'm assuming it's in a wharf off the Grand Union canal.

All good for me, are we talking the normal Wests timeslot, or a daytime meetup?

Th'Shutdown gives as well as taking away!

A (late?) afternoon meet up would, with the long evenings,
(I didn't need to turn on a reading light until 21.30, last night),
give the possibility of cyling home in (dwindling) daylight.

Anyone else for a (late) afternoon Wests?

Might you join us?
You can't spend the whole Shutdown on the Turbo.

I mean, I could. I did 240k on Sat with only a couple of stops to refill fluids so it's possible to stay pretty socially distant. Was out yesterday in the park sinking tinnies with some mates. Dunno about Thu though. Was gonna take a day off to fit in another ride before the weather turned. Will see.

He's in a small Primary School, but all went well dropping him off today - the wife cycled him there on the cargo bike. He was meant to cycle there himself this morning but he had been awake since 04:45am so he went for a 4.5 mile cycle at 05:00am when I walked the dog. Will be interesting to know what state he's in when he comes back! :)

'4.45am',
anticipation or dawn streaming through his curtains?

He's not the best sleeper and has been going to bed pretty late recently. I probably average less than 5 hours a night so I'm probably partially to blame! :)

I used to go to a Leisure Centre somewhere near there bitd.
Google maps also showing a building labelled 'Consulate of Algeria'
just the other side of the A40.
For real?

I can imagine preparing to walk the dog at 5am might rouse the house.

Wednesday morning bump:

Morning Wests,
previously forecast rain for this evening appears to have slouched off towards Kent,
giving us a fair afternoon and evening at a more reasonable temperature than the
last fortnights' highs.
Anybody else 'in' for the pm meetup suggested by @Sifta?

I'm happy to go with majority view.

majority

I think we need to attain quoracy before we can establish a majority.
It's currently looking like the two of us on a bench
re-enacting a Becketian sketch.

Late Thursday afternoon on a wormwood scrubs bench works for me

A Covid-enabled plan has emerged;
4pm -ish Turkish/Arabic coffe & baklava: Shepherds Bush
Later: Invest no more than 20 minutes trying to find @moorhen 's 'fish & chip ship'
Later still: Beers on a socially distanced bench on/in Wormwood Scrubs.
Later: Food.
Concluding with: More socially distanced bench beers.
