What Day Is It?

I think it might be Wednesday but it's hard to say. Should I cancel my dental appointment? Probably. Managed to get out early for a walk over the park before the dog walkers. Nice to hear the birds chirping and not coughing. Ambled round to the canal and along the towpath for a bit but it was a bit muddy to returned to the park to sit on a bench on the hill to watch the smoke from a nearby bonfire curl up into the steely grey sky. Spied some early shoppers returning from the Co-op. The bread van driving away was a good sign. Maybe they will have some bread and bagels? We met our neighbour walking his dog on the way back. He is a key worker at the bakery he said and had been on night shift. We told him how glad we were of his dedication to baking and we were off now to the Co-op to get some oven fresh comestibles. He laughed. His dog looked at us suspiciously and tugged it's lead to be on his way. Indeed the Co-op was pretty busy with early morning shoppers who foolishly thought coming out early would be a good thing. Hazel went in on her own. I waited outside looking furtive. She managed to get heaps of stuff so we won't starve. Fresh veg. being the only thing really that was lacking. Got spuds, bread, long life milk, stir fry pack, salmon, tins of toms, cakes, ice cream, blimey this weighs a ton! Staggered back home with arms stretched to full capacity. Passed our neighbour with his dog who had driven back from the park for some reason. Not you again ! O how we laughed!
