Oct 2021
In August I decided to take a couple of wednesdys off work to visit the Walkie Talkie and Shard buildings in London.
While in a pub in Windsor which I only occasionally visit I realised this would be 3 wednesdays in a row I was doing some thing new or unusual or something I only did occasionally. This was the inspiration behing this blog. I now had to find something to do on the other 2 wednesdays that met this criteria.
Talikng to a colleague at work he mentioned that he might be able to get me a free ticket for entry to the Tower of London, not been I thought so freat. Unfortunately due to Covid restrictions this was not going to be possible. Still I may try again next year.
22nd September would be a problem as taking a day off work would not be feasible. Still I had an idea for something I could do after work. That left finding something to do on the 29th. Travel on a new bit of London Underground from Kennington to Battersea Power Station fitted the criteria. I had visited some new to me London brewery taprooms on the 8th so I did a bit of internet research and another 2 new to me that would be open on a wednesday afternoon with the added bonus that they were not far from each other.
I now had my 5 wednesdays planned. Would it all work?

Had to be in work today so 2 pint takeaway of a new beer at home. First time dinkinking 2 pints of a 10%+ beer in one sitting. A rather smooth fruity little number and very enjoyable.
Wednesday 29 September
First new thing of the day was travelling on the Northern Line extension from Kennington to Battersea Power Station. This opened on Monday 20 September.
