End of weekish

An early start at the poetic coalface. Then breakfast with Lorraine, and she went off to do Story Time. Sylwia here, very cheery she is. And Lorraine and her always kiss when she comes in. I melted away to the gym, hoping to get some physical jerks in before it got too hot. En route I called in at Melissa's to hand her a sketch back. I had daubed a D minus watercolour on a piece of paper she'd handed me, to discover  as I turned it over, I found there a sketch of a dog called Benji, a much loved hound Melissa has been commissioned to do a painting of it. Then bumped into Delores on the way to the gym, as she was entering the bicycle shop 'Hello darlings!' 

I spent some time in the gym, then sloped home feeling cheery, and end of term-ish. 

Lorraine and I made off to the Boot where we met, Steve, Guy and Barbara, and Yvonne. Brian on a pilgrimage walk with his pal ending up at Canterbury. God knows what his knees will be like. Finding myself enjoying the company of Guy and Barbara quite a bit these days. Steve on good form, and has two saxophone gigs this weekend. 

Happily home, felt hot and balmy like being on holiday. Lorraine watching a spot of Wimbledon on TV.

Below, walking home, with lots of indistinct but rowdy seagulls in the air.
