We may not have had much rain yesterday in Reading but they did in London. This was Sally's sister's garden.

Waited in for the new sofa to arrive from John Lewis but it didn't arrive. The same happened with the snuggler. It could be down to the high number of infections as contacts are having to isolate. Having said that numbers are down for the sixth day in a row. Did the walk from Clayfield Copse taking in the Lodden Brewery. We won 3 gold medals over night. Decided I needed a few more photos of graffiti for my video so went out for a ride on Tuesday to take some.
When I got back I discovered there are more Banksy's and some good stuff out at Loddon Bridge so will have to go out again. We won another gold (and silver) overnight in the men's 200m freestyle. Braved the showers and cycled out to LB on Wednesday. There's some great stuff there including this and its easily accessible.
Reading also seems to have a Banksy clone named Peachy.

We won another gold medal overnight for the 4x200 mens freestyle. Andy went in for his hip replacement. Went swimming on Thursday morning then finished my video, I think. A sign arrived for The Three Brothers Taverna.
Went to Tony Andrews' leaving do at The Manor in Bracknell in the evening. I was a bit dubious about going because of 1) Covid 2) felt out of place at the last leaving do 3) haven't been out with a large group of people for a while, but it was fine. Possibly had one pint too many. Also first time I'd been to a Wetherspoons since the Brexit vote. A bit hungover on Friday for the first time in a while. Went for a swim in the afternoon. Showed my video to M. Need to make a slight tweak before I release it. Andy is out of hospital and can get upstairs. Won another gold in the women's BMX and silver in the men's. Bought some animation software on Saturday. Won golds in the triathalon mixed really and swimming mixed medely relay. Did a society walk on Sunday organised by Hilary. Started off in the Thatcham Discovery Centre, along the Kennet and up to Greenham Common. Really good walk. Had lunch at The Six Bells in Beenham. Our first walk with a proper lunch since March 2020. We won another 2 golds. Pommel horse and BMX gymnastics.
