I'm going to pop into the pub at about 4.30 on a non-descript Saturday afternoon in the summer. The screens will be blank or maybe showing some sort of Cricket if not a music channel at very low volume. A few people will be soaking up the piss week sunshine in the half deserted beer garden. A family will be sat in the corner having a late lunch and the baby will occasionally cry out. A couple of regular faces will be sat together without saying anything, one will pick up the newspaper lying nearby and flick through it without taking in any of the details therein.I will buy a pint, engaging the single member of bar staff on duty in pointless coversation, after which they return to their previous diversion, that of aimlessly cleaning the pumps with a filthy rag.Sitting in the corner I watch an old man come in, buy a half of bitter, drink it and leave, all in the space of 10 minutes.I check my phone, no messages, down the remains of my pint and leave.I love the close season.

I will not be doing any painting or bloody shopping, that's for sure.
