And the completed peas.. there were more than it looks... I went into the kitchen and cooked off some red onion some garlic, diced up a few new potatoes, keeping on the skins, cooked off a little more with some stock, then added the peas for five minutes and some fresh mint!
Was okay, I mean not the best soup, but I ate it over the next few days so nothing wasted...
Now.. what else, Saturday! Went to a beer and food festival, there were a couple of sudden drops of rain but not enough to stop people eating where they sat on the grass, or to stop the musicians from playing and people to abandon the hay bales..
Two great bands, solo singers... but neither of them said 'hello' or introduced themselves.. it's nice when musicians interact with the audience, you feel included...
Anyways, I bought a few items, an amazing snake made with a 3D printer, and an octopus!! I'll take photographs tomorrow... Couple of LEGO characters.. Mmmm oh and a very large amount of Turkish Delight!! Two pieces of every flavor, after he cut off tiny pieces for me to try!
I was aiming for an advertised price for a specific weight.. but that went.. somewhere! Where all good intensions go! As the seller was just piling it in a box then weighed it, I tried to not looked shocked and just tapped my phone and ran!
Cannot show you, today is Friday and there is none left! At all!! Can't lie!
Today, went for a ride out on a bike, Matlock Bath, lovely sunny day, had a jacket spud with chilli con carne.. nice bit of spice actually...
And sat there, outside the pub, the benches all up on a raised area above street level, with all bar one bench taken, every one of the customers were bikers; the path, a slow moving walkway of people admiring the parked up bikes next to the kerb.. my casco, (helmet), on the wall, my jacket on the back in my seat.. my 'helmet head' hair pulled back, my fine array of tattoos! And I giggled to myself when a passing woman said to her partner when he suggested 'sit up there?' she looked up, looked shocked looked panicky! and said "oh no, I didn't want to sit up there!."
So funny, to be somewhere where someone can't imagine being happy sitting, because of how the other people, the majority, all look like!
Made my day!
