In the café at the Willis Museum and Sainsbury Gallery in Basingstoke. Having a slice of Battenburg cake and an Americano.

Had a lot of trouble posting not only the picture but also the post itself. Turned on Proton VPN and now it works. Very odd because the site didn't seem to be completely blocked.

Anyway I had a walk from Bolton Arch to the far end of the Crabtree Plantation earlier. Apart from it being a very pleasant walk it also meant I discovered that I'd put the wrong knickers on while I was away from people. They just didn't hold things in properly. Luckily I had one of my trusty M&S thongs in the centre console of my car so I could change before heading to the museum.

Leafing through The Guardian's website I came across an article about trying to live without oil based products for a day. I was struck by this
about 1.5bn items of new clothing were bought in Australia last year – equivalent to 55 garments per person
That's an average of more than one per week per person!

It's possible that I buy that much but mine is all second hand except for the occasional pair of stockings or undies.
