Had a lovely day out yesterday with my friends. We took a couple of bottles of fizz to Regents Park and found a nice sunny/shady spot near a pond that was home to some very inquisitive geese. The toilets had a 20p charge (contactless payment) that was utterly pointless as you could get a dozen people in for free every time someone left. Useful for the wimminz toilet that always has a queue. Less so for the gents, I suspect.
We then walked down to a 'dive bar' called Passyunk Avenue (pron. pashunk) named after a place in Philadephia. Stuffed our faces, then went back to the park to sit on a bench and natter for a while longer before heading home.
Was in bed by 9.30 pm, woke up with a headache at 2 am. All fine now though.Comment

You walked 88.69 km in 3hr 17min 21s ? Must be as dodgy as the reading I once got on my cheap mobile. In about 1 hr I walked from Sussex to Lyon in France then back to Norfolk.
PS Or is that 3 days 17 hrs 21min?bloggoth

Peter Rabbit 2 watched. Not bad, not as good as PR1.
Uxbridge visited, so many permanently closed stores.
Lidl had 8 self service tills personned by one girl and no normal tills open.
Lawnmower died (4 years old Bosch Rotak) PITA.
