We had a super dinner of fajitas round at Ali’s last night, and today got off to a predictably slow start.

As I was saying the other day, we take public transport pretty much for granted. Every so often however, we get a reminder of how expensive the network of trains, busses and cable cars really is. It’s the end of winter, so we need to buy summer passes and renew our half-fare railcards.

The lady serving Val was determined that we should get a discount, though her computer disagreed. After a long phone call to HQ it turned out that she was right, so we saved a little money. It’ll still be a four figure item on our next credit card bill though.

Our nursery slope is looking particularly sorry for itself, with a huge trench running from top to bottom. No idea what this is for.

We had a distinctly British dinner tonight; fish fingers, chips and baked beans.
