Thursday 2nd January 2014 commenced with a full cooked English breakfast at the Butchers Arms, Carhampton, Somerset. Then it was the short drive into Minehead, one of Liam's all-time favourite places. And disaster! All the amusement arcades were closed for winter! Liam was not amused. I did nip into a car accessories shop though and pick up a 3-pin 3.5mm jack patch lead, intended for portable MP3 players in cars, but just the job for my Palm Cube and FT-817.
We drove back down to Minehead and treated ourselves to large steak pasties from
the Oggy Oggy shop for lunch. We discussed more about the possibility of going
to Taunton that evening for some entertainment and started to drive out of
Minehead via the promenade. That's when we noticed that the amusement arcades
were all open! It turned out that they weren't closed for winter after all -
they just didn't open until after 10am! That took care of the next couple
of hours, and Liam was pleased. This put me in a much stronger position to
suggest that we round the afternoon off on
Dunkery Beacon G/SC-001.
