Morning warm and muggy. I thought it might rain. Weather forecast, no rain. Afternoon, sun came out, very warm.
City centre very quiet.
Cornhill Cove unsightly eyesore. Surrounding businesses not happy. Moronic music thudding out all day, stench of junk food. Asked to turn down the noise, it goes quieter for a while, then turned back up.
Cornhill Cove an example of how Lincoln BIG squanders money extorted from local businesses.
No fruit and vegetable stall. I had to do a double think. Was it Wednesday?
Once again Deliveroo serfs causing a nuisance in pedestrianised areas. Why no enforcement?
The world has gone stark staring bonkers. Walk & Ride about to pull away early. I question why. A traffic warden had warned could not wait at a bus stop. Across the road cars parked on double yellow lines.
A nice day, I decided to walk up Steep Hill. Top of the the High Street, I take a detour to The Cheese Society.
The Cheese Society empty. Usually very busy. I decide to stay and eat. Their food usually very good, but the last time I ate it was not very good. Tartiflette au reblochon was excellent, new potatoes with cheese baked in an oven, hence the long wait.
I suggest it would work well with fresh pasta when new potatoes are not in season. But then it would not be tartiflette au reblochon.
I pick up a couple of cheeses.
As I leave I suggest to a lady looking at the menu, try what I had. She thanks me
Now climb the hill on a full stomach.
I could have given Bailgate a miss, but need to visit the greengrocer.
Walking back down, guest coffee Panama Geisha at Madame Waffle. Excellent last week as espresso. Try as Japanese iced coffee. Not so good.
Pop in Oxfam Bookshop and pick up two Paulo Coelho books I had spotted earlier.
