Dreams of Cycling in the Sun


Another sunny day so I thought I would cruise downtown on my bike. It is a bit old, with one of those enormous seats to accommodate a spreading bottom - ghastly to look at but so much more comfortable. Of course, for its first outing of the year it needs the tyres pumping up which meant a trip to our shed. Hmmmm....

...there is a pump in there somewhere.

So I phoned lovely Dave who said he'd look one out for me. Meantime I toddled off to see what the day would bring.

I called in at the charity shop and got another new person to Tell (this is too easy!) then found out about postage rates around the world as there may be some interest in the Homeopathy for Health in Africa hoodies.

I handed out a quiz leaflet to a lovely friend of my son as I know her mum would like to come along, then braced myself and went into the furniture shop.

Then came out again. (I'm sure there was a manager or someone in there somewhere, but I never found them). Next door in the nick nack (knick knack?) shop, the manger was away until tomorrow, so I moved on to the pizzaria. The chap in there was pleasant and, after noting that he does get a lot of requests, took my leaflet (ooh and saw the back of my hoodie - I think it adds something if I spin round while talking) and said he will see what he can do. I will keep you posted.

Wandering around the market place I heard a lady in her car yodelling out her thanks to a good Samaritan, and turning to see who it was found it was the lovely Dave (make that the lovely, helpful Dave) so I skipped across to greet him. Meantime he was about to embark on a chat with the fellow on the bench, so he introduced me - and there, another person Told!

Tip of the Day - Avon's Skin Soft range of products is supposed to be brilliant at repelling mosquitoes. Would you believe even game keepers in midge-infested Scotland are reputed to use it.
