Into town and back, Worcester: Monday, 8th June, 2020.

Last night's meal in the wok…….

……and divvied up and in the bowls:

Chicken and 8 (count 'em) veg pasta.

Italian food is great!

Dessert:

Mangos, strawberries, and blueberries.

Town is about as busy as it was the last time we 

ventured into it.

David, why are your ears sticking out like that?

Outside the first port of call: Boots.

Customers not wearing masks.

Staff had masks but the one at the till had hers hanging from 

just one of her ears. Not very effective then.

It was quite warm in there having said that.

M&S food dept was even worse. Complete anarchy.

No social distancing and only one or two customers 

in masks. Strangely, in the Mens Dept all customers had masks.

On the way home we bump into 'Elkie'.

Whisper it, but she is not Vicky's favourite local.

Three cygnets on their own on Gheluvelt Park brook.
Where are the rest of the family?

Mum and the other four cygnets are about 250 metres
further up-stream near the pond.
Can you spot the Dad?

Vicky feeds them some oats.
Mum's not keen but the cygnets quite like it.
They all prefer swan food pellets but until the
Pump House re-opens we can't buy any.

Why Dad is up on the bridge is anyone's guess.

We've all heard the expression 'linear family'
but this one is taking it to extremes.
There's at least 250 metres between them all.
Still, Mum and Dad must know what they are doing
'cos all 7 cygnets have survived so far.

Finally, it's good to see that the bumble bees now have more
than just blackberry bushes to get their nectar fix.

Evening meal:
Beef slice with new potatoes, peas, carrots and broccoli.

Dessert:
Strawberries.
