Hot day. Well, probably about 26, but obviously hotter than that in the sun,malthough there's a refreshing breeze and the big umbrella is up at Harry's Café, so there's shade. Stop at the charity shop on the way back. The Thai woman is minding the shop today and pleased to be able to ask us if she can run up to the loo for a minute. Naturally we say yes, although can't imagine what we'd say if someone began shoplifting. Would clearing the throat do it? Or maybe just saying that the lady in charge can give you a price on that in a moment. One would think that a poor economy would drive people to the charity shops, but apparently it's worse than that and many don't have money to spend there either.
