My youngest is enjoying a trip to the local Lidl far too much.

A young girl with a shopping basket is standing in front of a display case filled with various baked goods in a store.

Last early morning trip to the swimming pool before the Autumn. Rewarded with some lovely views.

A lush green tree stands beside a fence with a sunlit field of grass and shrubs in the background.

Lovely still afternoon on the river.

The Adur from the Adur Ferry Bridge.

Well, fibre to the premises certainly makes a difference…

The internet speed test shows a download speed of 463.59 Mbps, an upload speed of 110.10 Mbps, a ping of 9 ms, and jitter of 0.9 ms, conducted on an iPhone 13 Pro connected to the BT network in Eastbourne.

Coastal blessings - the warmest it got yesterday was 33.5° in the back garden. Everywhere in the house stayed sub-30°.

It’s been a long time since I walked over this bridge.

A pedestrian suspension bridge with white cables stretches over a river under a partly cloudy blue sky, with people walking along it and trees on one side.

Winnersh Triangle Station is pretty small for a station right by a big office park. It’s barely more than a halt. There is a tiny ticket office and seating area, though.

A quiet train station platform stretches into the distance under a clear blue sky, bordered by wooden fences and lush green trees.Three green plastic chairs with circular holes are mounted on metal poles inside a building near a window showing a red sign directing pedestrians.

Yesterday morning in Crewe and this morning in Winnersh.

A bright sun shines over a parking lot filled with cars, bordered by trees and a large building under a partly cloudy sky.A pedestrian bridge with metal railings leads toward modern office buildings under a bright sun in a clear sky.

Doing a lot of this over these few days of work…
