Running and £10!

I went for a run today along Brighton beach and found a £10 bill on the sidewalk! Unfortunately it's now raised the bar for my running - I'm going to consider it a bad day if I don't find cash on my run now!

A walk along the coast

Helen and I did a lovely walk along the coast from Brighton to Rottingdean along the cliff walk. We do this walk quite regularly, because it's a fairly easy one from our place in Brighton. Today was such a mild day for winter! 11 degrees and partially sunny.

First impressions are very positive, although it was quite expensive given that an Echo Dot is about £30.

I was looking at Apple News, the travel section, and noticed an article in the Independent about super cheap air fares through Air China. We rushed to our computers to check it out, and sure enough, they were available. Locked and loaded!
