Having coffee and a cheese scone at Crimples, Harrogate, while the car is charging. Pleasant but as usual the drink and food arrived separately and the hot scone was almost cold by the time the coffee arrived.
Must throw out these tights, just noticed a hole in the right thigh, it's about three centimetre in diameter!

just arrived at the cheap room that I booked for the whole of next week. I decided that it was getting expensive staying in pubs and hotels and anyway it was time to drive a bit less and just relax.
Arrived to find the proprietor and two of his friends having an animated discussion about the business of letting out rooms. Good job too because the company that they use to do the booking stuff hadn't sent me the code for the lock box with the key or the room number. Same stupid rigmarole that I had at the first place I stayed in in Brighton. They send multiple messages through Booking.com asking for a picture of ID, and a refundable deposit. That deposit and the demand for ID are going to be the subject of a complaint to both the proprietor and Booking.com when it comes to time to give a review.
Anyway, even if they had sent me a message I wouldn't have received it because I don't have an always online email device.
Still the room is nice, big, freshly painted in white and pale grey, bay window looking out onto the road, simple desk with a kettle, cups, glasses, tea, and coffee, and a whole packet of Nice biscuits. And a comfortable double bed.
It seems that the previous occupant made off with the remote for the television so the proprietor took one from another room. It seems that I might be the only occupant of the house.
There's a Sainsbury's Local just across the road so I won't even have far to go to get a snack!
