Sunny in the morning. Rain for at least 35 days. A day out. Very cold. Frost in the morning.
Train to Nottingham. No WiFi. No usb charging. At least not crowded.
Widespread flooding.
Railway bridge over the river Trent on leaving Newark, almost touching the bridge. Scary.
Footbridge closed to leave Nottingham Railway Station by the side entrance. This is not acceptable.
Brain-dead Nottingham University students blocking the footpath outside The Bagel Project Carrington Street forcing pedestrians into the road.
Stopped at Caphinique and had beef pho. Ok, not great. Not the quality of Viet 80 or the Japanese ramen noodle restaurant in Hockley top of the street from Effy.
Dumped Lime rental e-bikes outside Nottingham Railway Station and in Carrington Street. Why no action by Nottingham City Council? Impound, charge £250 recovery fee,£50 daily storage fee.
Nottingham very very cold. Weak hazy sun. No warmth from the sun.
Very crowded, Carrington Street and through … Garden. Masked up delivery riders causing a bloody nuisance. Illegals? Why no action by Police and Immigration? On-the-spot fines. Repeat offenders, hefty fine, seize and destroy their e-bikes. Illegals, detain and deport.
Vibe very busy. Very long wait for my iced matcha latte and another long wait for my espresso. Both were excellent.
Cloudy and misty. Very very cold.
Cappuccino at Effy not good.Stange taste. Disappointing.
Picked up a baked goods from Effy. Unusual any left, but they said baked more this morning.
Hockley packed. Could barely move.
Looked in the new Italian coffee shop in Hockley, Bonincontro The Italian Coffee House. An espresso. Not good, but by the standard of poor quality Italian coffee, overoasted beans, at least drinkable. Picked up up a croissant.
Too late to return to Vibe.
Head to Nottingham Railway Station.
Queue to get through the barriers. Probably because they have closed the side entrance. Why oh why, park the train five minutes walk down the platform?
No WiFi on the train. No usb charging. At least the train not crowded.
Why does EMR hate passengers? Happy to take their money, but not to provide a service.
