Tuesday July 14th
Try a fast run this morning and it feels OK. No car so Mrs N walks down to St Faiths with Alice and I sneak out to try Costa Coffee across the street. Not bad at all. I hope they do well but tough area for an expensive cup of coffee. Maybe all the Kings' teachers will be in there every morning from September.
Get the #5 bus into town and get a fleeting glimpse of JobCentre Plus as we go by..must make a visit there at some point although nothing like the riches of claiming US benefit. 200 quid Job Seekers allowance vs $440. Get the car back and then head to the new house for an afternoon of cleaning. The kitchen is in quite a state so we are all scrubbing and bleaching til late. I get to do the toilets, ergo the rubber gloves
