My favourite part of the picture, is that there is daylight between my legs! Earlier, when I approached the river, the torrent was like a herd of bison all squeezing through a gully and wrestling with eachother - it rolled up and down, oozing power. It really was exciting to see. A wide river, packed with the fever of angry, aggressive animals. So powerful!
At home, I fell asleep in front TV, and went to bed until 12.45 pm. My afternoon was just a kind of blundering, that yielded a couple of big wins.
I phoned my double glazing company and asked them to come and look at my kitchen window (it is no longer sealed). They came immediately, have ordered the parts and are coming to fix it tomorrow.
Dentist's secretary, on the phone, changing our appointment: I have known her for years and told her about tumour. She asked me why was I telling her; was it because she had had a tumour. Amazing - she had a brain tumour, had it removed and treatment and is now free from it.
I had a real laugh with Joan (Dave's mum) - I was telling her that Roger Lloydpac (spelling?) had died, but could not remember his name. My TV is on silent, but I see "Roger" (only) displayed on the screen, and tell her. We are swapping funny scenes that he has played in Vicar of Dibley and Only Fools and Horses, and neither of us can remember his surname. I then say Lurpac as a joke and our conversation descends into hysterical laughter.
On the way to collect Martha and Katy I go to Quality Save for a shop. I cannot believe it - the corner of the shopping precinct is now labelled up as Costa Coffee. Three shops have been bought and combined, and are in the process of being made into a coffee bar. I really worry about the impact on the local independent coffee bars. Who knows? Maybe it will be a good thing, if it brings more people into Chorlton. My gut reaction is that I wish it wasn't coming at all.
At Comedy Club, I have a good chat with Ali the group leader. She thinks Katy and Martha are both amazing.
At home Martha is skyping her friend, but electronic goods are all put away at 7 pm. Katy has gone to bed early, to prepare for vigorboarding club at 8 am tomorrow. My mum has told me about the funeral - all went well.
Have a good day tomorrow
love
