Oh I do like to be beside the ...

... well... shopping arcades! I'm not sure about putting a massive sandpit and a few deckchairs in the middle of the town. I'd hate to think it would stop people making a journey to the real thing, if they could. Some little ones were enjoying it today, though, and my two stopped to soak up the atmosphere.
Lots fitted into today, including: work - great meeting with a super colleague ; a dog duty for the dog niece who was very pleased to see us; dentist - for whom I carry a strange attraction, despite the fact that he sees me at my least so; town with The Teen and Him Outdoors - the highlight of which was a fleeting visit to our very favourite coffee stop ; two bike rides - one on the new machine and the other more static but definitely harder work! We ended on supper in front of the tv.
Phew!
