Cheese Scallops Snacks
My friends gave me these snacks, they all turned into soup, which is fine. I only just properly read the label, cheese scallops!? Why did scallops needed anything else to mess with its perfect flavour? I am glad they have all been turned into soup.

Haworth Brow Road
We rode through Wuthering Heights country, and through Brow Road in Haworth, the warning sign says 20% gradient, but it felt a lot worse than that!

Breakfast Portobello Mushroom
In contrast, I got some hotel breakfast, they were reasonably quality, and their mushrooms were portobello mushrooms, it is always nice to see the food in its original shape.

Cheap Greasy Spoon
Cheap greasy spoons still exist, the camp site cafe was really cheap, with the quality to match. Who says there is no cheap things anymore.

Rethinking Power Outlets
I remember when we looked at the Yaris, they have phased out all the USB-A and cigarette jacks, so I would have to get all new USB-C cables.
Then the new power station also does not have a cigarette jack. On the assumption that USB-C is here to stay, and it is powerful enough to replace a chunky cigarette jacks, I just need to find replacement cables for USB-C to DC jack to replace my devices with cigarette jacks. Or I just have to accept the inefficiency by using AC adaptor and increase the conversion loss.

Speed Fixing
At the repair cafe, you see the trivial repairs, and you fixed it in two minutes. Someone at the Leeds festival called me magic for zipping their tent up in minutes. And I refit a child's bike's brake and changed a fuse, all done at the drop of the hat, they were really quite trivial...

Lost Not Found
I dropped my little power bank in the camp site, and I kept asking the shops if anyone handed it in. I looked and looked. It was a useful little power bank, I was a little sad.
