The new barber shop next to McDonalds is jumping! There are often several men waiting and this morning at 7.45am there were two barbers snipping and clipping and another guy waiting.

And the parsley in the garden opposite the library is flourishing! I’ve watched it grow from spindly seedlings. My friend who works for a council said there was probably a by-law against picking some on the way home for dinner Unusual thing to have in a flower bed but it does make a nice green border.

You may remember my observation last week of the orange motorbike parked in a dubious spot … it’s there again today! In exactly the same place. So the rider is either not affected by tickets, or all that measuring determined it was not illegally parked. Interesting.
