Walked the loop along the Kennet to Southcote Lock on Monday afternoon. Not done it for a while. Walked out to the big Tesco's by the Thames on Tuesday. I was intrigued by this in the underpass by the Kennet.
They are a band from Ascot apparently. A bit of flooding on the Thames Path after all the rain.
On my way back into town I went through the Forbury Gardens. I noticed a woman picking leaves from a plant so went to investigate and found a few of these.

Went to see URZ beat Burton Albion 3 1. Managed to sneak my drink in to my seat. On Wednesday morning we went swimming. A woman in the slow lane had a panic attack when she was out of her depth. She was holding on to the lane divider. M tried to help but the woman was pushing her under so she had to stop. Eventually a lifeguard came in and we all had to get out. M was a bit shaken up but we carried on swimming for another 5 mins or so. I hadn't quite realised how the pool bottom is layed out. It doesn't slope but there are 2 flat sections with a sloping divider. So it suddenly gets deeper hakf way along. We picked up Madeline and Owen from nursery and drove over to no 81 for James's birthday tea. Amy's short ribs and carrot cake. On Thursday evening I went to Oxford to see Police Dog Hogan in St Barnabas church. Excellent gig, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, dobro, accordian, mandolin, fiddle, keyboards, double bass, electric bass, drums, percussion, recorder, trumpet and lots of harmonies. The first set was all done round a single mic. Great stuff. Drove down to St Mawes on Friday morning. Took ages as the M4 was closed. JAMO got there just before us. Fine view from the bedroom showing the marquee at which the reception for the wedding they are going to will be held.

On Saturday we looked after the kids whilst they were at the wedding. Found a park which helped amuse them. Went out for lunch on Sunday followed by the park and later a walk on the beach. I had a paddle.
