A meal out

Earlier in the week, Tuesday to be precise, I thought to check up on the giant weed first noticed at reference 2, around six weeks ago now. This in the margins of a Jubilee Way anticlockwise, now established as the morning run of choice.

Giant weed

The good news is that it is still there, the bad news is that it is looking a bit shabby with its six week accumulation of dirt and dust from the road.

Good news enough that we decided to celebrate with a meal in the front garden of the Blenheim, last noticed at reference 1. Out first meal out since the meal in Guildford in the middle of March, noticed at reference 3. So by the standards of some, our last meal out was rather late in the day and our first meal out was rather early. In our defence, the front garden of the Blenheim was quiet this Tuesday lunchtime and the young people who served us were properly masked up and kept their distance, when that was appropriate. 

We thought that the clipboarded sheet for recording our presence suited the purpose. A sheet which could be filed away at the end of the shift in case they did need to trace us at some point and which could be shredded at some point in the reasonably near future. Not fool proof, particularly if the place got busy, but good enough. And BH added her own pencil to the mix to avoid her needing to have to make use of anybody else's; a refinement I would not have thought of under my own steam.

Canterbury Bells?

Our lunches - fish and chips for her, beef burger for me, were substantial and well presented. A perfectly satisfactory pub lunch. Lubricated in my case by a spot of their sauvignon blanc. But too bright for the waitress to be able to see the screen on my telephone and to be able to say whether it was the same as the stuff at reference 4, as it had been in January, noticed at reference 5.

On exit, I was impressed by the blue flowers in the middle of the snap above, in the fine garden opposite the pub. BH thought Canterbury Bells, aka campanula medium, plausible from the pictures in Wikipedia, but not entirely convinced, with identification confused by their being plenty of different varieties and by the flowers illustrated there being rather more bell-like in shape than those here. Further confab. needed.
