On the way to get coffee I stopped at Maurizio’s (in Goose Green) to get a haircut. Lisa, the girl that cuts my hair, is going to Italy with her boyfriend in six weeks. We also talked about tattoos and she liked the one on my ankle that I got in Japan. I told her about my upcoming trip to Denmark to see Rob and Beata.
Then I started strolling through the town and took some pictures of the Town Centre. There are a few mentally ill people out on the streets. Hadn’t really noticed them when the weather was bad.
Finally got coffee and breakfast at 11 when I stopped at Club 41. It’s a nifty restaurant/pub. Took a picture of the breakfast menu to show people what I mean about a really HEARTY vegetarian breakfast.
It seems all of Altrincham goes out on Saturdays. I bought several books at a bookstore—I’ve gone through my stash of them. Then went to Marks & Spencer to get some gourmet food. Even though it was only a few blocks to my flat, I went home a different way and discovered the Altrincham Market that’s only open for a few days a week. It was crowded with shoppers and I’ll go back next weekend when I don’t already have my hands full of shopping bags.
It seems that tables and chairs have bloomed overnight and every square meter of outside space contains them. I love that and will definitely find my favourite little café for the spring and summer.
Worked on my website much of the afternoon and plan a quiet night.
