After picking up T1 from his charity shop volunteering job, our plan was to head into Ashford, shoe shopping. Specifially trainers, wife and T2 both need them. But it's a nice day. I hate heading into Ashford at the best of times (though the outlet is ok when you get there) and it always seems daft heading inland on a nice day. So we gave Folkestone a chance instead, got him a pair of trainers, got some ideas for wife, made a plan for her also to come to London with me, and we were done in an hour! We got some food for a barbecue today, and were back in plenty of time for a nice walk to Sandgate and a couple of pints.
Barbecue is to say goodbye to nephews who are heading back to the USA tomorrow. I've not seen them since the wedding as they've also been to Paris this week. I will only see them for a bit as I have a plan to go to The Clarendon later this afternoon for the first time since it reopened.
Trainer shopping in two weeks? But aren't I going to see The Dogs D'Amour? Yes but there's no Parkrun, so we'll head up early, shop in Ashford, I'll carry on to central London and she'll come home. Hmm maybe I will finally get that new jacket I had my eye on? Probably not, I'm still undecided.
Now time to walk to cricket with T2, busy busy.
Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze, 10 - 19℃.
