Back to work after a holiday wasn’t ideal, but that’s the way it goes. This weekend was nice, though.

You just have to love the TFL staff who do this.
One could say that, but I don’t care one bit! I’m having a wonderful time and even enjoy walking in the wind and rain with our dogs.
Hah, I’ll just leave it.
Black Rock Sands beach tomorrow. Our dogs will love it. Maybe Goleudy Tŵr Mawr on Wednesday.
There are clear contrasts for sure.
Most people would struggle to see a difference between Oxford and Cambridge style, but contrast them to for example Colchester and the difference is night and day. The latter has the highest proportion of loud car exhaust mods in the UK, probably, which seems to be the young male style there.
Go to any town in Norfolk and you’ll struggle not to see tweed and Barbour coats. Most dogs will sport distinctly countryside coats in winter rain.
Bristol would be unique compared to any of the above. You’ll probably get a sense of a certain hippie style as you weave past the old style WV camper vans some people live in.
Newcastle has yet different style, especially on a weekend night. Typical ladies outfit could probably be best described as scant, any time of the year.
Then there is the smallest city of the UK (by area), the City of London. I’m not sure what to even say about their style. Actually, I don’t even want to comment further about those knobs.
It’s been nice to finally get a brief holiday. We came to North Wales on Thursday and will stay also for this week. We did a day trip today to Baddgelert on the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways. Steam locomotive and all! I recommend you travel with them if you get the opportunity.

I dropped a chopping board on my foot and the big toe now has a new colour scheme. Not recommended.
The most eco-friendly phone is the one you have right now: make it last as far as possible, changing battery or screen if you have to, instead of buying a new one.
Past week was good. Yesterday I made beef wellington for the first time ever, and it was not a complete disaster. That counts as a win.
May your journey through this update be smooth. And thank you.
