First nice weekend of the year ...
I had planned to go to the beach this afternoon. Southern trains, however, had other ideas.
Can't deal with Brighton Beach and fighting for a square metre of shingle: Hove beach, usually much quieter, is my preferred target these days.
But today, due to engineering works, there are no direct trains to Hove: and I, who used to happily travel for >2 hours to get to Thorpe Bay, can't be bothered. So it'd take me over an hour, home to beach. So I can't be bothered.
On the bright side, I do have a garden with cats, and shade, and an extension cable, and no screaming children (though there are some on the other side of the hedge).
