    Yes, enjoy your weekend break. I love the seaside even in poor weather.

    For Thursday.

    Steps 10500. Weather a bit too damp for a sustained walk but we got there in bits and bobs including a long walk and a short pier
    MSD coffees and craft shops and the local market.

    Bit damp this morning - but like DIA, I find your typical seaside day is more interesting when it’s a bit squally

    Hope you're having a lovely time, I agree there is something quite nice about being by the sea when the weather is a little stormy. I quite like a blustery walked followed by a hot coffee and pastry.

    That's true FTD, although this morning was too bleak so we packed up early after the rugby and headed home after an early groupon deal lunch

    then OH hasn't felt great so we just sat at home - hence

    steps 1100
    NSD (groupon was paid for)

    save/make: starting doing calculations to see if OH could take her pension a bit early without costing too much in the long run. very complex but looks good as long as we don't live forever

    steps 5600
    MSD - did a top up shop as Friday's shop missed a few staples
    not veggie as chicken-a-la-king - a household favorite

    Save/Make - nothing today
    Clean/Fix- sorted myself out with a proper shredder and am merrily going through paper work, but it can only work for 5 minutes - although
    doesn't say exactly what is the consequence
