Almost every day I bump into this fellow walking his dog. He's a cracking bloke but Jesus he moans a lot about how Swansea was better in the 1970s, when the sun shone all Summer and most of the winter.

I can't decide if these encounters are doing me harm or good.

Anyhow, this morning's moan was about Swansea's parking machines, which struck a bit of a chord, as I'd been in Mumbles yesterday and kept having to step into the road to get past lost souls staring blankly at the parking machines trying to follow the instructions. This business of having to input part of our registration is - it seems to me - yet another way of wringing a little bit of pleasure from our lives. How I pine for the days when you might be handed a ticket by a smiling departing driver who'd say "there's a couple of hours left on that".

I was on the receiving end of such a fine gesture just last week. The car park in Polperro doesn’t require a number plate, which meant that some guy could take great pleasure from giving me his ticket. To be honest I wasn’t sure who was the most pleased.
 
Where’s Jax, loves a dog walk, wasn’t you mate was it 🤣
No wasn't me, funnily enough though we were down Oxwich today with the dog, little tip, don't use the car park (£5.70) use the Oxwich Bay hotel parking, or if that's full the caravan park. We always use the hotel for a drink after the dog walk to justify being skinflint's.

You can think of that as paying to park car and getting a free pint.
 
We had dinner (lunch if you’re posh) there a while back. It was ok, nothing special and a bit overpriced but you’re gonna get that down the Gower I suppose.
I found it slightly overpriced, but not extortionate though.

Have you tried Bar141 on Llansamlet cross? Very good grub there and more than reasonable prices. Been there quite a bit lately.
