I walked down to Charlie's, in bright sunshine, but the cafe was closed, as I suspected it would be. Hisham, and all the staff, and those he drafted in, worked really hard over the weekend, and they were still open when I went past about 9.30pm last night. I caught a bus up to the yuppie place a mile up the road, and had 3 pancakes, 3 rashers of bacon, a stingy serving of maple syrup, and 2 mediocre coffees, which cost me ยฃ25

I called round at Matt's, as I had something for the kids, and had left a bag round there yesterday. They were planning a lazy day. It was quiet in the area, and the clean-up on the main road has been reasonable, less so on the side streets. Hopefully a few local folk made a bit of extra cash, along with the carpet-baggers

I reckon I will have some work later, but it hasn't come in yet
