Filling time after an interview and before an appointment

Perfect way to kill time (if there isn’t time to go sit by the river!!)

Had to look that up. Google says its a spit cake.

A couple of months ago Mrs. G and the Gremlinette were out and about and came across a lady doing deliveries in her car crying. Mrs. G asked if she was ok, transpired that she's parked where she shouldn't and got a ticket. She explained that she was doing the delivery work as she'd been unable to work due to Covid, husband had been furloughed, not much money coming in and a forty quid fine was the final straw. Mrs. G. took £40 out of her purse and gave it to the woman because, in her words, 'It's been a shit year for loads of people'. The woman wouldn't take it, apologised and went to drive off, but they insisted she take the money. Gremlinette ended up chucking the money through the open window and running off.

Fast forward to Sunday lunchtime, and the Gremlinette is working in the restaurant when the woman comes in with her husband, recognised her, explained that this was one of the people who gave her the money for the parking ticket, etc. and proceeded to have a good chat. She's now back working as is husband. They left a tenner tip for her, then came back with £40 of T K Maxx vouchers for the Gremlinette and bottle of prosecco to give to Mrs. Gremlin.

Great shot, great times, though I did wonder what that weird circular thing attached to the front disc was !

I'm now seeing a different side staying in nice hotels.

Most bars bring a little tapa with most drinks.

Often bringing a platter to share.
