Blog2022 ≫ Pay day spend up all spent up

Just booked an escape room in Canterbury for tomorrow, plus a trip to London on the Friday of Easter. Don't worry though it hasn't all gone on wholesome events for the family, I just had a crate of wine arrive for me too! A load of Australian cheaper plonk, some cheap but hopefully good Claret (I really liked this before but it's a new vintage now) and two better ones. Ideally they are keepers, but we'll see.

I also ordered that new pen torch1, just a little extravagance for myself. It will be good for my grand tour, when I finally get round to booking it, as it is just pen + torch. My other one is pen + torch + multitool which might be difficult carrying over international borders. Oh and the new tumble dryer is coming this week. I snuck past Clare the fact that it is "smart", I can somehow control it with voice and phone. Don't know how useful that will be for a tumble dryer, hopefully I can just get a "ping" when it is complete, or see how hot it is or something. Actually it was the best rated, and takes a bigger load, and cheaper than the other options I was comparing it too, so the unnecessary features are really just a bonus.

Fastest parkrun this year!

Imagine if I had got there on time and not started right at the back. Could have knocked twenty seconds off that maybe.

Not much going on for the rest of the day. Clare has delivered thing one to see his friend for the day, and thing two is being collected soon for a play date. I have an afternoon free and will see if I can get the boys delivered home again, which means I don't have to drive, which means I could pop in the Potting Shed for one. Ah good, just got it confirmed, I am relieved of driving duties so my afternoon is completely free.

Oh, I went to the Inn Doors last night for a bit, and everyone has covid. Friend I was out with on Wednesday has it, so his weekend plans are all off, and another friend who was actually in the pub has a "very heavy cold". Definitely covid. I'm sure to catch it sooner or later.
