Subject to verification by the rules committee, this to record that I captured my 1,000th trolley this morning, thus bringing that part of the trolley adventure to a close.
With this slightly truncated snap of our leaning tower marking the occasion. Date marked '20250913_112727' on my telephone, so our last prominent clock is about spot on.
I had thought a preliminary celebration might take the form of a kedgeree, to be served with courgettes, but the fish van was missing this morning, despite having had a fine display on Thursday. Luckily Waitrose could oblige, albeit substituting (undyed) smoked cod for smoked haddock. We shall see what BH makes of it tomorrow. The official celebration, the full performance, had already been pencilled in for early October. A performance which may include a rather grander toy trolley than the one that Waitrose sent me back in 2017, as noticed at reference 1.
PS 1: I suppose that, given the dominance of M&S on the outdoor trolley scene, I should have checked to see if they sold fish. Didn't cross my mind, probably because I quite often buy kippers from the Waitrose fish counter - although the last kippers of record were back in April, this despite the fact that we have had kippers at least once since them, rather better than those we had in April. And I might say that the Kitamura books, the main subject of reference 2, are still in BH's pending pile.
PS 2: reference 3 still missing. Neither Bing nor Google turns up a copy, although a site called Grafiati seems to know about it. A site which seems to want me to load up some whizzy new browser and probably to flash my plastic. Offer declined.
