Lunch Detour

I got a Royal Mail delivery slip and I really needed to pick up the item before my long absence, so I made a lunch detour.  I managed to get everything done, popped home and picked up food within 1 hours, efficient!

Speedy Mowing

We finally assembled the lawn mower.  Sarah insisted I should wait for a dry day to try it out and a dry day finally came.  The mower is very loud, but when I don't have to pick up the clippings, it took only 30 minutes to mow my lawn, yay!

Propagator is not Propagating

I put the seeds in for about a week, and nothing sprouted yet!  It better hurry up before I give up on this year's growing enterprise.

Easter English Heritage Marathon II

The rain has discouraged us to stop for Scarborough Castle.  It was still too wet for Wharram Percy.  We stopped at Kirkham Priory wanting to have a walk around, but they decided to stay close for the rainy day even when their website explicitly stating they would be open for Easter Monday.  Then we went to York Clifford Tower, again, I am glad I can look at it from the inside.  The tower does give a good view of York.

Nightmare A64

I knew A64 on the last day of holiday will be bad, and since I was usually on a motorcycle, it was not too big a problem.  I thought we made an early start on A64, but we still did not escape the horrendousness of A64!  It took 3 hours from Scarborough before we reached York.  I must remember to avoid A64 at all cost!  I should have bite the bullet and stayed on A170!

Easter English Heritage Marathon

I signed up to English Heritage this year.  I have planned to visit some English Heritage locations this Easter break, and I made good progress.  I went to the Cold War Bunker, Helmsley Castle, Pickering Castle and Whitby Abbey all in one day.  Some of these locations I have previously visited 'English Heritage Style', I am quite happy I have seen them from the inside.

Hotpot at Home

After much convincing, we tried out the hot pot on camping butane stove in my house.  We got a tiny bit of seafood from the market for the occasion.


It worked well, and we did not perish from carbon monoxide poisoning.  I went to the shop to get extra butane, I can't wait till the next one!
