We did our bit in the museum . Visitors were a bit slow in coming but they gradually increased towards the end of our stint . I filled some of my time looking at the old postcards of the town . The town had some nice old bits in the past which successive councils destroyed . It is a good job they didn't emigrate to Venice or Egypt otherwise they would have been replaced by lovely 60's structures .

Whilst I was filling my time I was looking at some stone tiled roofs. I couldn't understand why the size of tile reduced towards the top ?

That unfortunately happened to some of the more interesting buildings in Leicester.

I feel a rant about holiday homes coming on.
Opposite is a holiday home where the owner is so tight he cannot bring himself to pay for a sheet of paper with the various bin emptying days on it. { He does come from Yorkshire where apparently they are like Aberdonians with the streak of generosity removed }. Result is as soon as one of our bins goes out they put all their bins out jammed between our cars and obstructing our access. There they will remain unemptied until one of us gets exasperated and throws them back in the gate.
A Victor Meldrew moment some time later when looking out my window I noticed a small white car about the size of a Fiat Panda trying to turn at the top of a T junction with no other traffic around. Failed and moved further up to a wider spot where no reversing is required. Back down and stopped in an emergency stop behind another neighbours car leaving about the thickness of a sheet of paper between the cars .
Emerge from car and up to yet another holiday letting house.
These people are driving around on our roads which is why I do not go out on my trike during normal daytime hours.

I have fed the cats, and some furkling about in the fridge has yielded the makings of a Chinese.

Daughter gave us a brand new, used once, soupmaker. I`m on a mission
I just know the yellow sticker shelf will be emptied and made into soups with regularity
The back is still sore so no cycling yet
Curried carrot, sweet potato and red lentil is lush. As are minestrone, tomato & roasted red pepper, spicy parsnip, roasted butternut & garlic, cream of celeriac... The possibilities are endless.
Wonky winter veg are also good for soups btw.

East Cambs council did the same with the market place here in Ely. They're now trying to make them all blend in.We did our bit in the museum .

I always buy the wonky veg and salad. Funnily enough, although wonky would suggest odd, strange, not quite right I`ve found they taste exactly the same as non-wonky!Curried carrot, sweet potato and red lentil is lush.

You just gotta love wonky
