Blog2025 ≫ Happy Birthday Dad

Hope you have super day, speak later!

Clare and the boys gone to Canterbury for the day. I can't go very far as I am on call. Will be some handy extra money for hopefully not much effort. And by not going to Canterbury with them I will not have to buy an expensive restaurant lunch, and I won't be tempted into shopping for things I don't need. They did need to go though, T1 needs a suit, and he wants some new jeans for his birthday.

I have done some shopping for myself online, I bought a Patagonia plaid shirt on Vinted. Quite pleased with it, I wanted one but didn't need one so I thought this was a good compromise. No unneccessary new things, it's basically recycling, and I got it for about a quarter of the price I could have spent. I will wear it to Glastonbury I think.

Now, did Clare say "do sit and write your blog all day" or "don't sit and write on your blog all day"..?

Sunny and a fresh breeze, 10 - 18℃.
