stumbled upon this cute little cafe and went twice in as many days. sometimes the need for novelty is less and i'm happy with repeats while other times i'm adamant about not going back because the world is so big and there's so much else to see. it had cute fixtures like cinema seats in place of chairs and fairy lights, which i'm partial to. also conveniently located next to an oxfam where i spied these framed prints going for £5 each. i liked the one of the girly about to hurl herself off the rocks. no suicidal ideation here, no worries, but it reminded me of sappho and the island of lesbos. again, no homosexual ideation nor homophobia here...
there was also a lovely cow on the moor when i went for a walk and it got bit too close for comfort! sad when the cows go though because one just knows they're headed to the big burger heaven in the sky. then again, they're happy healthy and free range on the moor so it's cold comfort that they had a good life and were well treated. had an interesting discussion about animal rearing with one of the consultant obstetricians who has lots of birds at home. he's growing turkeys for christmas and was telling me how he kills them. fascinating stuff and the registrar and i were intrigued by the various egg selling regulations in place, how he's lost many a chicken to the fox and remains sympathetic to them. says they probably kill more than they need to store for winter but get disturbed halfway so looks like they massacre for fun but actually misunderstood and interrupted before able to complete their tasks. makes for a fun morning on call in the doctors' office!
made a batch of broccoli soup that looked like oscar the grouch had a blender accident.
and more evening strolls to look at the swans because i was in a reflective mood and needing to post-process after work.
