Southampton Civic Centre

Impromptu decision to take the 1045 cross-country train to Southampton to find cushion pads (to replace the ones I returned to Temu). Messaged 'A', luckily he was at a gym nearby so we arranged to meet at Ikea for a chat. Found the cushion pads in Ikea, so that chore's completed!

Returned to Bournemouth mid afternoon. Blipped the Civic Centre as we walked back to the train.

Heavy rain due tomorrow a.m.
