Delight or disaster ?

We have the riverside to ourselves this morning. No firemen, no rowers, no dog walkers. Sophie stops to watch a tree bobbing slowly by. Sophie has an ability to stop and become completely transfixed by passing things. Satisfied the tree has no nefarious purpose we finally continue our walk.

This mornings croissant fails to impress. Sophie is more forgiving. She wolfs down the ends plus the crusty bit from on top. From the tempo the tail is wagging at I'm guessing she'd give it a 12/10.

On the way home there's time stop off at the frozen food store for some peas. The American food fortnight is in full swing. I know this because there is a sign outside the entrance with the words ' Crazy America ' written in large letters. This is presumably considered to be a jazzy marketing slogan.

The lady who owns the franchise tells me that the Pastrami Waffles are nearly sold out. 'You'd better pick them up now while there's some left. I phoned in an order to the distributors warehouse but they've all gone'.  True enough the Pastrami Waffles and bacon burgers are running low as are the veggie burgers. Grilled cheese sandwiches and Hot-Dogs a la New-Yorkaise are selling more slowly.

Angus observes that somehow, somewhere, the Crazy America logo has morphed into Hello America.

Angus is torn with indecision between a Confetti Cake and a Generous Cookie, Brownie and Marshmallow cake. The choice is far too weighty. Instead he opts  for some pop corn flavoured ice-cream to go with lunch. This will either be a culinary delight or a disaster.

We visit the garage to top up with fuel. Another hike today. Now E2:31 a litre. That's up 25% + in 3 days.
