An afternoon in the Basketmakers

Feeling very happy. Stayed in bed a good deal too, and then up to watch Football Focus, before I did some more work and Lorraine did some sewing. Off in the afternoon to the Basketmakers where we simply had a  drink with Matt and Anton and Irish Tom. Lorraine also made some new friends who she spoke to at length.

Anton hobbling due to a skateboard accident and showed me a photo on his iPhone of the exact bone in his foot that is hurt. Apparently the radiologists were snickering at him when he went for his X-ray as the doctor and written skateboard accident on his sheet.

Good to chat to Matt too who is feeling the need to conduct again, and is having dreams about brass bands. We sat in the pub for some time shooting a good deal of breeze. Towards the end First Matie called for a gossip too, which was splendid. 

Lorraine and I headed home, my top hat slightly askew, and we bought a two bags of fish and chips and had a night of sober recuperation on the sofa.

Below Flo, one of our next door neighbours sticking her head out of a cat flap, she often does this and looks in mute longing at Calliope and Brian as they saunter past.
