Not having a good day really. Went to parkrun, got a lift in with Clare so I could keep the car. Wore a hoodie, hung it on the railings at the beginning of parkrun, and forgot to pick it up again at the end. And it had my glasses in the pocket. Then on my way back in to Folkestone to look for it, one of my earbuds fell out of the car, presumably at Waitrose. Got back to the railings and no hoodie. Now there is an outside chance that someone from parkrun picked it up and I can get it next time, it has happened before...

Dropped the boys off, came back just in time for our TV to be delivered. They just left it on the floor though, as the guy who took it away took the stand off, they had no interest in putting the stand back on. So I've done that but can't lift it, will have to wait for T1 to get home to help me.
I bought new glasses in Savers, £1.29 for a pair of reading glasses! Had a walk around Folkestone, it's very hot. Went to the harbour arm, thought about going in The Boardroom but it was too busy, a queue for the bar. Went in https://harbour.coffee instead, got a lovely coffee and a cherry and almond vegan pastry and had them on the seating area on the roof. And there's a bar up there! Who knew? I will take my friends there when they come in three weeks.
Walked back, so plenty of exercise today. Weather was nice all the way.
Just went back to Waitrose, and good news and bad news on the earbuds front. Yes I found it, I could see it on the ground as I drove into the carpark, right next to where I was parked! Bad news, it's been driven over or stood on or both, and it's dead.
I only went to Waitrose in the first place to get some spice mix for a salad recipe I have seen which I'm making for tea today. It had better be good...
Today in the year 2000 I was at Glastonbury.
A clear sky and a gentle breeze, 11 - 21℃.
Estimated 1828 cups of coffee from my espresso machine 1 probably comes to £1.03 a cup (including actual coffee and servicing 1 but not the electricity).
