Am I making the best use of my time?

I bumped into a bloggle of beer bloggers on Friday. At the Gunmakers, Jeff's pub. Our differing days left me disconcerted.

The others had been on a pub crawl since 11 am. I'd been on the go since about the same time. Except I'd been frantically photographing files down the archive. I was only on my second pint.

It got me wondering. Which of us had spent the day more usefully? I'm not convinced it was me.

You did.

A classic Ron post, but I won't be mislead by the irony.

My day included quite a lot of C-hops, and several crowds. Does that help?

Beer Nut, as you know, I hate everything beginning with the letter "c".

If I am brutally honest, in all my score'n'eight years, perhaps the most pleasurable day of them all was a twelve hour pub crawl with my oldest of mates. Sorry, wife. Sorry, son. You both get an honourable mention but no prize.

Just me and him, taking a very leisurely stroll about town with nothing else to do but stop off in a bunch of pubs and enjoy each others company.

We were drinking all day but never got drunk. Somehow we were able to stretch out that 3-4 pint magic spot to last all day.

I think how people use their time is a very personal thing. I hope you find it rewarding, I envy you having the patience to collate the information that you do. I couldn't do it. If you don't trawl the archives then who will?

Keep it up Ron.

Woolpack Dave, funny thing is, I'm very impatient.

I agree with Woolpack Dave, we really appreciate the work you do.

but you'll be very welcome to join us for a crawl the next time, we had a very nice day criss-crossing London.
