Cricket

We spent much of the morning in the laundrette. PY imagined that it would be busy and we would have to queue, but there was nobody else there, and no other machines were in use. We took one of the smaller machines, set it to its cycle, and then went to Waitrose and did our weekly shopping. We returned with about 5 minutes to spare.

We took advantage of the tumble dryers and put the clothes through a few cycles, but after spending £5, I decided that the remaining dampness would dry off when hanging in the house.  It is nicer to have dry clothes immediately after washing.

After lunch, we took a walk into Wimbledon. A little bit overcast, but there was no rain.  For the first time this year there was a team laying cricket on the Dundonald recreation ground. It doesn't feel like summer, but it's beginning to look like it.

In the evening we watched a film. 30 years after Jurassic Park, you’d hope mankind was smart enough to know that, (1) if you work with dinosaurs your facility will be destroyed, and (2) the largest dinosaur will have a its eye right next to you but not see you. Jurassic World Dominion did not understand this. The reprise of every set piece was annoying but, somehow, in a bad movie the cast were terrific.
