Strawbs – 10 July 2024

Another dull day with white cloud and no sign of the sun. Hmm.

This morning when I was making breakfast, I had a few strawberries because they looked nice. So nice in fact that I photographed them some with the new lens on the A7 and some with the A6500 on a macro lens and also with the new ‘kit lens’. One of the shots taken with the A7 and the new lens got PoD. PoD at not long after 9am must be a record.

Later in the morning after the traditional Wordle and Spelling Bee had been conquered we drove over to The Fort. Scamp was going to try to make a cover for the piano with A4 neoprene copy foam pads. It seemed like a good idea and it didn’t cost the earth. The only place she could think off to get them was Hobbycraft. With them in the bag, she was off to get some toothpaste and other stuff of that ilk, but on the way she spotted a pair of sandals in Clarks. She tried them on and lo and behold, they fitted, just like Cinderella’s, except they were the wrong colour. They had sandals the colour she wanted, but not in her size, so she ordered them right away and they should be delivered and a few days. While she was stocking up on everything Boots had to offer, I browsed the books in Waterstones, but found nothing of interest.

It was time for lunch when we met up again. Lunch in Costa. Not my favourite place to eat, but there was more of a range there than there was at home, so I agreed. Mozzarella with Tomato for me and Shawarma with chicken for Scamp. The shawarma was spicy, but not too hot. I must try it sometime.

With the weather cooling and still that feeling that it might rain, plus the PoD was in the bag, the afternoon was spent indoors. We spent an hour and more going through a skip full of old photos Scamp had found on an old SD card going back to 2016. Lots of memories, lots of places, lots of faces we remembered.

Dinner was Mac ’n’ Cheese. Probably not the most sensible thing for me after a cheesy lunch. I realise now I shouldn’t have eaten it all. I’ll suffer for it tomorrow.

Tomorrow we may be going dancing. I believe some dance practise will be needed in the morning.
