In the Spinning Slots café outside the Spinning Gate shopping centre, Leigh. Having a Biscoff cheesecake and a mocha. The chocolate in the mocha is a bit sweet but the rest is ok, and it was properly hot.
For the first time I was offered the option of pouring cream or squirty cream (yes that's the exact word she used to describe it). I chose pouring of course and when it arrived it was on a plate actually designed to hold a small jug, very nice.
On the way here I walked through the shopping centre and as I was strolling along idly window shopping a woman walked passed me and said something like "You are looking very nicely turned out.". I've been smiling ever since.
This is how I was dressed
There is no WiFi here as far as I can tell. But the list of access points that my mobile can see here includes one called Brodgar and another called Solstice. I don't often see the name Brodgar these days, I wonder who chose the name for the AP , and why.
The reason for visiting Leigh was mostly to buy another of the skirts but in a different colour. But when I got to the shop I decided against it. After the café I just wandered around the town centre visiting some of the many charity shops until I came across the YMCA shop which sells everything for a pound! As you can imagine I was drawn into it as though by magnetism.
I must have spent half an hour there rummaging through the rails and trying things on. I finally bought three dresses and two skirts, 4 GBP altogether because skirts and trousers were two for a pound.
