A day in Chichester

I spent a full day in Chichester today. That isn't really true, I spent quite a bit of time in the next town over called Fishbourne. I caught a bus over there, but it was so close by that I walked back.

While I was in Fishbourne, I saw the Fishbourne Roman Palace. It is a museum that is situated on the ruins of a Roman Palace. It was ok, but not mind blowing. There were lots of old tile floors, but the most interesting piece was an amulet that had a penis on one end and a hand showing "the finger" on the other end...the Romans were truly brilliant.

On my way back towards Chichester I stopped at a Tesco Express and picked up a bag of salt and shake chips. I wasn't really sure what shake meant, so I thought I would give them a try. I opened them up and they were very plain. When I was nearly finished the bag, I reached for a chip and pulled out a blue packet...of salt. Salt and shake makes sense now. So that's what I have learned today.

Ah, the salt and shake. My graddad used to give them to us on the way home from his place every Sunday. They're quite good if you actually put the salt on. Please email me and let me know how you're doing, and what you're doing.
