Nottingham Spring Equinox plus one

March 21, 2025

I had hoped a warm sunny day as was York yesterday. Unfortunately not.

Lime rental e-bikes dumped everywhere. Hazard being run down by e-bikes and e-scooters, delivery riders.

No lessons learnt from the unmitigated disaster of rental e-scooters.

Looked in The Bagel Project Carrington Street. Busy, gloomy.

Macha at Vibe. I did not dislike, but did not like. I will stick with coffee or macha cheesecake.

Excellent lunch at Ugly Bread Bakery. I did not realise, they change their offerings every week.

Espresso at Effy. All their coffee filter roast, even though brewed as espresso.

Macha on sale. Very expensive. Tiny bag, 20g twenty pounds upwards.

I was going to visit the Specialty Coffee Shop, but no time. I head back to Vibe.

I cut across Old Market Square. It beggars belief, a Lime rental e-bike dumped in the middle of the square.

Kick Lime off the streets, not only Nottingham, but everywhere. They are a bloody nuisance.

Ban e-bikes,  e-scooters and  deliver riders from the city centre. Anyone ignoring the ban, £100 on-the-spot fine.  And seize and destroy what they are riding.

Impound dumped e-bikes and e-scooters. £250 recovery fee, £50 daily storage fee.

To my pleasant surprise, I find the owner of The Specialty Coffee Shop in Vibe.

In Vibe, cappuccino and macha cheesecake. Chinese girl asks me what I think. She is happy when I tell her she has done an excellent job. She tells me she is not a barista.

When I tell her of my experience in Divine in York where the girl argued with me that a cappuccino was made with chocolate, she started laughing.

Several near misses with delivery riders on  my way to the station.
