Decided to visit the Curtis Museum in Alton.

But first I'm having a mocha with whipped cream and marshmallows and a Cumberland sausage roll at the Esquires café

Visited the Curtis Museum. Quite good but didn't really grab me the way the Willis did.









Supporters of the museum were fundraising outside with a bric-a-brac and book stall so I bought a copy of Katherine Rundell's Super Infinite, a biography of Donne, one of my favourite poets. Perhaps my most favourite.

Now I'm in Cassidy's Bar having a half of Bone Dry Cider. I think I prefer these 'new' style pubs. It's a former high street shop converted to a simple bar. Unlike most ordinary pubs these days the focus here is on the drinks. No food in most such places except perhaps a few packets of crisps. This one has ten different ciders, only one of which is fizzy, a number of beers, and a couple of hundred cocktails.

Wearing the one pound miniskirt from Dover Scope today. Also a jacket because it's eight degrees colder than yesterday.

The skirt has a decided tendency to ride up at the front, especially when I sit down so I have to adjust it every time I stand up .

Between the park and the high street is a car park with this list of charges

This translates to these prices per hour
1st hour: 1.60
2nd hour: 0.50
3rd hour: 0.80
4th hour: 1.00
5th hour: 0.60

Or average per hour
1 hour: 1.60
2 hours: 1.05
3 hours: 0.97
4 hours: 1.23
5 hours: 1.10
9 hours: 0.97

Is there some reason for such odd numbers?

@ninalanyon Weird, somebody trying to make it all simple and making it all difficult instead.

On the way to the café I visited the park and took some pictures



Unusually this drinking water fountain still works. But it's a mystery to me how one is meant to drink from it.
