Salad Flavoured Fruit

The other night, my strawberry tastes of garlic.  Today, my apple tasted of cucumber.  That was disconcerting.

Shokupan

We finally got a chance to try Shokupan after so many people raved about it.  It is okay, I don't think it is something to write home about.

Free Electricity

On some Sunny Windy days, we get free electricity, but it is very hard for us to take advantage of it, because I have to first use down all my own solar generation before I can start using grid electricity.  We do try to lighten the surplus electricity off the grid.

Slow Bus

It has been a few months since I took a bus, this one was very slow.  I had to tell myself how much carbon footprints I saved by taking the bus.  It could have been much worse if it has been hot ..

Dancing Caterpillars

A bunch of caterpillar hatched, we saw them and started talking next to them, and it appears they response to sound! 

Summer Harvest

The vegetables are coming through full swing.  The beans are doing well.  The cucumber is a little disappointing.  Basil is enjoying the warmth and the tomatoes are ripening.

Library Hot Desking

I was working at the library as Danby went in for her service.  I still haven't signed up for their free wifi, but it was okay with my own hot spot.  They have a lot of summer events, which is good to see. On the other hand, I still don't know why they don't have toilets.

Skipton Pride

I don't think I have been to Skipton Pride before. Emma wanted to go, so we went, and another couple people turned up.  It was basically a party on the High Street.  I researched a lot on where to park, when Craven wants to charge for all motorcycle spaces in the car parks.  Then I realised, on-street parking is free on Sundays, and on-street parling is free for motorcycle.  Except it is cobbles, and we could usually find a gap near the tree to not take up car parking space, it worked well.

Skipton Pride was very small.  We also checked out the canal basin art market.  We tried a few nice cafes.  It was a nice day out.

Cops & Cars 2025

Mark was supposed to join me at Cops and Cars, but he injured himself.  I went there on my own, on Unthank.  It was a nice gig.

Bicycle Trolley

A parcel was delivered late, so I had to make a special trip to collect it from town.  Instead of getting the trolley to bring it back, I used the bicycle again, which I cycled to town, and use it as a trolley on the way back.  It works well, but I made the same mistake of lowering the seat too low, so the pole caught on the hump, I shall remember next time.

Greggs Hot Food

I was having some lunch at Greggs, we branched out from the pasty department.  He had a salad and I had mac and cheese.  They were not cheap.  I am probably going to stick with their cord pasty offerings.
