Mountsorrel and Rothley Community Heritage Centre

We went to Mountsorrel and Rothley Community Heritage Centre for the first time.  It was a nice little place at a bargain price of £2.5.  The garden was nice and it was very educational.

Great Central Railway Quorn

We went to Quron to watch the steam train to go past.  It has been 10 years since I was last there.  That would mean last time I was there, Tom was only 1.

We did not go on an event day, we did not pay to go on the platform, we did not go on the train.  I managed a good timing to watch them going past, had a cup of tea, then watch them again.  It was a nice day out.

Pumpkin Microgreen II

As it turns out, pumpkin microgreen, is very much an acquired taste, even if they are very young, much more palatable when wilted...

Automated Jibberish Responses

An internet card comes with an AI function.  I prefer my message to be short, sweet, to the point.  We clicked on the AI button to see what the LLM would spit out.  Absolute garbage, sick making garbage.

Lidl Springrolls

I was hoping to get a mixed "oriental" starters, but they ran out.  So I found some spring rolls from the freezer.  The normal size one is the same price as the minis, but I think the normal size is more suitable. They turned out pretty good, so I bought them.  It was well received.

Tonsillectomy

I quizzed Steve why he had his tonsil lopped out, it was because he had frequent recurring infection.  I have also heard all the other problem he has. 

The NHS ENT consultant are less encouraging than private doctors.  Let's wait and see.

Easter Chocolate Final Sale

This year's Easter chocolate didn't come down in price as quick as before.  So we waited and waited.  I bought a bunch of Lindt truffle eggs for 25p.  Bargain.
