Blog โ‰ซ 2020 โ‰ซ Loser

Clare is going to Canterbury today, and I am having another go at clearing Jim's garage. He's hired a second skip, so Dean and I are going to try and throw the rest of his stuff in it. It's only going to take an hour, so after I'm going to the library to get the boys some new books and then a third try at eating at Tin And Tap. Pretty exciting day huh? So why, when I was out last night, did the boys have to toss a coin to see who comes with me, the winner going shopping with mummy and the loser coming with me???

Is it my new glasses playing tricks or is this a really nice picture of Hythe high street? I was out walking the other night while waiting for thing two's swimming lesson (I have to drop him off and pick him up, can't spectate, because coronavirus) and it was raining but the light was nice. I took a picture with my phone and it went to "night" setting because it was dark. It means you have to hold the camera steady, maybe just for a longer exposure, but more likely it is merging together several shots. Good stuff anyway. So no post processing on this to enhance colours or anything. I feel like a proper photographer. Click the black and white image to see the full version:

Night time shot of Hythe High Street

This is the first one I took right outside the swimming pool that gave me the idea to try and find somewhere a bit more picturesque. Again you'd have to click through to see the full colour image.

Last night was a different sort of Friday night, I did not go to the Inn Doors! Met up with friends in Hythe instead, first to the Red Lion, then a walk to the Three Mariners (where we had our temperatures tested), and then round the corner to The Hope. We would not normally bother with this one, it's not been great in the past but it's all changed now. Half of the pub has been taken over by Noly's Noodles, so we got good food too. Noly's Noodles was a food van on Princes Parade first, then took a place in Tontine Street and now has either expanded or moved here. Very nice, particularly the chilli condiments. Might try again with the family.

Going to try deploying this blog a lot faster today, only rebuilding the last week of content, see what difference that makes. I love this static site but it takes about forty minutes to rebuild it all.

No running today, but more DIY, will try and do a 10k tomorrow instead. I'm painting the study, it's going this well so far:

Brexit negotiations are going well then. Does anyone still think brexit is looking like a good idea? What a fiasco.

10k: Ten km, just over six miles to you. Sometimes talking about 10,000 steps though, an arbitrary daily step count target.
