Breaking My Stride

I waited for them to come back.

 

 We sat on the bench to carrying on listening.

While everyone was taking photos, we went to the cafe. Sat on the leather settee, to enjoy a coffee, and waited for everyone to arrive.

 

I chatted to the MP again.

I even got two dvds for 50p

Walked back to the Library..

 

A really nice went past me :)

Chatted with a ex-postie.

A couple sat opposite me.

I recognised the man as my older's son's real Granddad from Kings Norton with his second wife sat with him.

(I haven't spoke to him since 1993 when he chased me around his drive with a hammer, then my boyfriend and his dad was trying to strangle each other on the drive)

The Grandfather is looking more like his son everytime I see him...

Arrived back home before the rain started again...

Sorted out my dad's Birthday cards out for tomorrow.

Had a quick tea as we were going out to a Snooker Awards Evening.

 

 

 Nice cold lemonade.

We had a quiz.
