Woke around 0400… took ages to get back to sleep. Lay in until 1100. Got up and porridged. We drove over to Sainsbury’s at Manor House to do a shop and put the car through the car wash. Came home for a light lunch, as eating out this evening. Cooked up a chicken chasseur for Aki to have tonight, putting the remainder in the freezer. I headed in to town via the Victoria Line, alighting at a busy Victoria station. Walked in the drizzle toward Eaton Square to hook up with former Trent Poly mates, Colin Yates, Andy Widdup, and Pete Chilton. They’d been drinking since 1530 though looked none the worse for wear…Colin celebrated his 68th birthday yesterday…he looked a little weary.
Andy still working, much to my surprise, though Colin is still doing a couple of days a week. Andy and Kim had recently been on holiday to Canada…while crossing to Vancouver Island, they bumped into Pete on the ferry!!! They all had to catch trains back south…Andy to Haywards Heath, Colin to Brighton, and Pete to Portsmouth, so we headed back to Victoria station for 2030 where we parted ways…nice to see them, even though it was all rather brief. Got home by 2130…getting a bit wet and windy out, but not too bad…Storm Amy wreaking much more havoc up north!
