Rochdale Canal

Back up to Kirkby Lonsdale, this morning, for another meeting at school, but that proved handy as I could pop across to Kendal afterwards to pick up the notepads for the conference from the printers. 

And as their premises are right by the Kendal office, I was able to have a catch up with Steve, too. 

In anticipation of our trip to Prague*, I wasn't drinking, today, but Milly was in Manchester this evening, so I suggested we go for a walk, which we did, going up the Rochdale Canal (pictured), and back down the Ashton Canal. 

After that, which was very pleasant, we felt we'd earned a drink, so Milly had a pint of lager and I had a mineral water, before we moved on to Beermoth to meet Hannah, where I treated myself to a soda water. 

Actually, I had a cracking evening. The prospect of going to the pub and not drinking is way worse than the reality. (Not that I expect I'll make a habit of it!)

* Me and the Minx, not me and Steve.
