Trolley 386

Another M&S food hall trolley captured in the Ashmore passage. Returned to the food hall which was busy with people buying their ready meals, while the clothes department beyond was very quiet.

It being a foodies' market day, I was able to buy some cheese - some 18 month old Comté, which claimed to come from the Borough Market people of reference 1, thus staving off the impending cheese crisis, as I shall not be able to get there myself until the end of the coming week. But I was surprised at how much the colour of the cut faces varied with the time since cut - with the old cuts looking quite yellow and the new cuts quite white. We shall see what this particular lump of this usually reliable brand of Comté - Charles Arnaud - tastes like shortly. Stuff which reference 2 suggests that we have been eating off and on for at least four years.

The young man running the stall might have been a student topping up his grant and he was not that good at the Neal's Yard style wrapping, but he did have a neat way of cutting the foil like wrapping, with a single clean stroke with the tip of his knife against what I think was one of those ceramic chopping boards.

Onto extinction rebellion who were holding what looked like dance in the space outside Metrobank. I would have put something in a bucket had there been one, but I couldn't see anything of that sort from the wrong side of the road and didn't bother to cross. Didn't look like the sort of people who ought to be on terrorist watch lists to me.

Next past the front entrance of the Sainsbury's at Kiln Lane, where, once again, no regular trolleys in the main stack. But I suppose Sunday morning is the peak time of the week for them and the poor old trolley jockeys just can't keep up.

And so into Blenheim Road where it looks as if another caravan has taken up residence, halfway between the tip and Screwfix. The sort of caravan that regular people would use for touring, but this one had a very residential look about it. We will see how long it takes to move them on.

Plenty of water in the stream down Longmead Road and plenty in that running down the bottom of our road, so there must have been plenty of rain in the night, not that we noticed at the time.
