The theory was that we’d go up Kilburn High Road and I’d see about getting my hair trimmed, as the current cut isn’t going to last until Cyprus. To be honest, what attracted me initially wasn’t the women’s haircuts, £8 for short hair. The last half inch trim I had on Kilburn High Road was £5 - seniors’ special - but to be fair that was several years ago. What led me to this spot was the sign outside offering two gin and tonics for the price of one. Did see that the sign belonged to the establishment next door but it made the whole block look more cheerful. Too busy today, but if I came back on a weekday, so probably Wednesday. We have matinee theatre tickets pretty near here.
As usual look in the shop windows at the prices for used iphones. Never dead cheap, but iphone 5’s and 6’s have been coming down. Critically, they have more LTE bands than most and therefore work more or less anywhere in the world. On the other hand, they could have pretty old batteries. Carry on down the road stopping at Aldi and Sainsbury’s. Then Roses for a meal. One of the lovely European waitresses tells me - before being asked - that there is no salmon. So we settle for cod. And she quite cheerfully agrees to salad instead of chips in one order and mushrooms instead of peas in both.The boss comes through and says hi. Would like to ask him about Brexit, but he’s gone too quickly. Over to catch the bus to Kilburn Park tube station and pass the shop with the mobiles in the window. J inquires about the iPhone 6’s in sealed boxes. Reconditioned by Apple, which is no longer making the 6. New battery, sold as reconditioned, with a three month warranty. So we go for it. New phone.
