Basil goes to Kent
Up to North Acton again. Despite a hideously early start, quite enjoying the bustle through London and meeting some new, likeable, people. The work reactive, but the people compensate. Listening to The Count of Monte Cristo constantly on my journeys. It goes on forever.
Have stupidly lost my keys, and as Lorraine went to Kent to visit her parents, her brother and nephew when I arrived home in Brighton I had to amuse myself for an hour or so, having a single pint and, disgracefully, some Kentucky Fried Rats before she returned. Haven't sat in a KFC for about 15 years. Interesting clientele on London Road. And not in a good way.
Lorraine had taken Basil with her. Basil is the lovable fat cat who refuses to squeeze through the catflap, necessitating cat trays indoors, which the other two cats then use. Cleaning them is like getting thigh deep in the Augean Stables, which I will certainly not miss. However I will miss Basil, for she sat on me a lot, and had a lovely if vacant face. But she is going to be pampered and loved by Maureen and Pat.
Home and, after a reprise of futile key searching and trying to compress a day's chat with Lorraine into half an hour, another early night. After spending two weeks with Lorraine night and day, a bit weird now to just see her for an hour or so at night, and then sleep.
