In town yesterday parked in car park behind town hall, only 2 trips one to the bank and one to  pick up a Watson & Brown pork pie then back to the car.
I was in town for less than half an hour and got to the pay machine with the £2:10p already in my hand, put it in and it wanted another 10p it's now £2:20p

Saw in this week's D.T. what a stunning success the market was, it looks like the pictures were taken of the small market (near dents) but none of the big market the other side,

Also something is finally being done with the old M&S site, naturally businesses outside Chesterfield are doing it up, why we still have a Chesterfield council is beyond me.

You know the old joke...How many people work in Chesterfield town hall..........about half of them.

Noticed on the news the ever resourceful band of tea leaves have found a way of making more money.

They are getting copper wire by sawing off the pumps of electric charge points used for cars this means if you go to re charge your car you may not be able too.

 9 P.M. our time tonight and we should learn what Trump has in store for the world with trade tariffs.

I'm no expert on these things but if Trumps got his fingers in it it won't be good.

You have to ask yourselves "Is it feasible to stop trading with America". The worlds a big place and the U.S. is just one country, there's a large part of Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada the list goes on, if the rest of the world snubs the U.S. trade wise then they've only themselves to blame. We need to concentrate on trading with our European partners and others, show the U.S. we can manage without them.

One example would be to create a European Amazon style supply and delivery system that the whole world could use but would not export to the U.S. just imagine it the thought of tens of thousands of Amazon jobs going in the U.S. all because they've lost a very large chunk of the world market........now that WOULD be a tariff I could live with.

Well for now it has!!
I've been in the garden today, tidying planters and watering as we haven't really had much rain lately.
The one rabbit hutch I have which isn't occupied by hedgehogs has been opened up to let the warm air in and the cover washed down.
We need the pressure washer on the Patio but can't get into the outside tap to switch it back on as it's stacked with items from the shed which we moved out to put my overwintered hedgehog in.
I also had my first hedgehog of the year on my trail camera it was on the lawn eating the Spike biscuits I had left out.
It's a lovely day!!

Noticed the other day that the old rock shop on Packers row {above Savers} has reopened as a tattoo parlour, that's what the town needs more tattoo parlours.

Also what is it with barber shops? there's literally one on every street corner in town, you can't move for them!

Rock shop? Didn't know about that
