Went to get more books of visitor parking permits today. How many can I buy? I ask the nice lady.
“Maximum 6 a month, (fill in number) in a year.” That’s fine thinks I, I’ll pay my £12, stock up with 6 books, and there’s no way I’ll get through 60 permits in a year.
“That’ll be £30 please” she says. Oof! The books have gone up 250 percent from last year! What a rip-off! That’s… uh 50p per day for my visitors to park… well I guess that’s not too bad, though I preferred 20p obviously.
Only the books only contain 5 tickets now, so it’s £1 a day for visitors to park (= £1 a visit, on account of having to write the registration plate on the card), a whopping 500percent rise on last year!
Nothing much to report today. Except I went to tesco and paid £27.50 for 4 limes. oh and some cookies.
and two floor standing uplighters, two baking trays and a set of kitchen scales.
Made another recipe from the veggie cookbook we got from Steve Petit at xmas. Despite finding I had no sweet chilli sauce and having to substitute for 4 tablespoons of that, 6 drops of Habanero Chilli Sauce, and having to use wide rice noodles instead of thick rice noodles, it was most scrummy and set us up for a trip to see House Of Flying Daggers, which was actually pretty rubbish, but fun enough.
