Finally got around to putting some clothes in the washing machine in the shared kitchen. It was really only my bras that needed a wash, i have so many other items of clothing that they rarely get enough wear to get dirty.

At the moment I'm wearing the rather nice Gerry Weber dress that I bought yesterday in Audlem

Once the washing has dried I'll go for a walk in the sunshine, while it's still cool enough for this dress.

I went for a walk to Queen's Park in Crewe where I had a mocha and a cheese and a ham toastie.in the Taste for Life café.

Efficient service but it's so noisy that I had to repeat everything twice when ordering. I used Noise Capture to record the sound level for 1 minute 20 seconds. Minimum was 75 dBA, max 88.5, LA50 81.6. [1]

It must be exhausting to work here.

Every few minutes there was an incomprehensible announcement on the PA which I didn't catch but I'm sure is even louder.

[1] "LAn : A-weighted, sound level exceeded for n% of the measurement period, calculated by statistical analysis - where n is between 0.01% and 99.99%.", see https://www.acoustic-glossary.co.uk/definitions-l.htm
