Saturday like Friday, starts off with a chill to the air, clear blue sky, sun warm.
It is becoming like August of last year, too many people out, behaving as though coronavirus does not exist. No surprise that across the country covid-19 cases beginning to rise. Lincoln is now above the national average for new coronavirus cases.
Sincil Street busy.
From butcher, chicken thighs wrapped in streaky bacon, as favour to me, a regular.
Look in 200 Degrees, curious, coffee from India, I am told it is good. Maybe try one day. Anything is better than their cheap house blend.
Two lots of prawns from fishmonger, including raw king prawns for prawn toast toastie for tea.
No customers zero waste store in Central Market as I pass by. What I am learning, people are visiting Lincoln Eco Pantry in Bailgate, a wider ranger of stock. There may though be another reason. Lincoln Eco Pantry built up a following long before they opened. They were due or at least rumoured to open at two different premises before Bailgate, but for whatever reason, did not happen. In the meantime, the stall in the market stole a march on them.
Chat with barista Angel Coffee House. He tells me Ozone was the best of the coffee they had tried. Begs the question what had they tried? He does not know. I suggest they try Cartwheel Coffee and Outpost Coffee. If I pass by again, I will suggest try espresso blend from DT Coffee Roastery. I also suggested Coffee Gems.
I raise reusable cups, they should not be accepting as a disease vector. I am told what I was told before, we fill a jug, then fill the reusable cup. Before I was also told, we trust our customers.
Whilst we are chatting, a man hands over a reusable cup to be filled, barista takes away, fills with coffee, then hands back.
I question then man. I’m ok, I have been vaccinated. Actually no, you have had the first dose, you are at risk and put others at risk.
I am now encountering ignorance of vaccines, I’ve been vaccinated, therefore I am OK. No, you have had one dose. .
A woman on a bus a couple of weeks ago. I have bene vaccinated, I am OK. Coffee Aroma had a customer walk in claiming they did not have to wear a mask, been vaccinated.
When people go to be vaccinated, they need to be given clear information, that they are still at risk, are a risk to others, must still carry on with coronavirus biosecurity.
I think try Vines early. No bread left people were queuing from nine in the morning.
Again many people around Steep Hill and Bailgate, though not as many as last weekend, but still very busy.
No farmers market, cancelled. Why, no idea. It seems they are cancelled on a whim.
Sourdough bread from Redhill fam shop. Not what I wished for, but all they have.
Lincoln Eco Pantry looks busy, I do not pop in.
Haddock and chips from Elite on the Bail. Pleaant sat in the sun.
Take a walk round to Stokes at the Lawn. As I suspected, closes at three. I arrive just after three. They offer to serve me, I say ok and decline the offer, I was checking if open.
Cappuccino from Coffee Aroma.
