Trolley 783

Found outside T K Maxx and returned to the M&S food hall. But at this point we have a system error.

My memory says that this trolley was rather weather beaten - more or less corroborated by the zoom above - and that I returned it to an empty stack at the back of the food hall, that is to say beside the entrance inside the Ashley Centre. I subsequently found two more small, food hall trolleys, very nearly new, in the Kokoro Passage, and that by the time I got back to the stack it was empty again. I even thought that I spotted the weather beaten trolley in action in the store.

But no snap of same had arrived on the laptop and no snap was to be seen on the telephone itself. On the other hand, there was a contemporaneous note on the telephone. A word used in police dramas on television so it must be good. 

On the other hand, not only is there no snap, but it did not cross my mind at the time that I had forgotten to take the snap.

On balance however, I think that the two other trolleys did exist, but scoring them in the absence of proper, photographic evidence would not be proper. Reaching 800 trolleys - and appropriate celebration at Cappadocia - thus being delayed by a few unnecessary hours.

There was also the matter of pineapples vanishing from the fruit & veg stall outside. Perhaps the shipment which I have been feeding off over the past few weeks, most recently noticed at reference 2, has been used up?

And lastly the matter of the leg trolley. I caught a glimpse of a youngish chap with some kind of lower leg fracture, complete with plastic shell wrapper, whizzing along the market place on a trolley, whizzing to the point of being dangerous. I find now that Bing knows all about them and the proper name seems to be a knee walker. Maybe the better brands have brakes. First time I have seen such a thing.

Home to notice that the elephant ears flowers are coming on well. Probably Bergenia cordifolia 'Purpurea'. According to reference 3, aka pigsqueak from the noise made by rubbing two leaves together. Something to try on my way out tomorrow. 

PS 1: another memory problem from this evening. We wanted something which did not involve too much gore, sex or perversion, so settled for another round of 'Shetland', a police drama of which we had already watched large chunks in the two and a half years since we got our smart television, as noticed at reference 5. So we started with episode 1 of series 1. After an hour of this, one of us had dim stirrings of memory, the other had nothing at all, beyond both of us knowing about the main characters participating in the drama. So it is quite possible that we did watch this very episode and more or less completely lost it in less than two years. Not good enough! Must do more brain exercises!

PS 2: maybe a geek could extract viewing logs from the Samsung television? Like the police can extract call logs from the telephone people?
