I think it was probably by last Thursday that we had mapped out how we wanted today to go. I am very pleased to report that it pretty much went as we wanted it to;
We had a fairly easy wake up, except for Misty wanting breakfast at some ridiculous hour, and making no bones telling us. As it happens it was at a time when (during the working week) it was reasonable to get up and make tea and as our feline mistress appears unable to distinguish between weekdays and weekends, I got up to make the tea.
We were up and having had breakfast were ready to leave the house by 0925 – a mere five minutes later than planned. We arrived at Gosport’s Trinity Church at around 0950, again as planned and assumed responsibilities as ushers for the Gosport Camara Clubs exhibition of winning pictures (including ones from Elayne and myself). Very proud we were too.
We had 20 plus visitors during our three hour stint, including one lady expressing interest in membership. Quite a few of the people were happy to have a chat with us, and all were very complimentary, We were relieved by the next at about 1245, a few minutes early.
The U3A also had a stand at the church, and I managed to have a really good conversation with the chap running it. Which bodes well for when I join it.
I had to pop home as Elayne had bought some plants, and we didn’t want to carry them around for the rest of the day. Elayne had gone to the bus station and was awaiting my call to say that I was at the bus stop before boarding an E2 heading for Fareham.
We had about three hours to have a wander around – I ended buying two books, and Elayne bought some bits and pieces. I’d also made a brief diversion to the Fareham Cinema to buy tickets for Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. Which we went to see at 1700.
I’ll not say anything about the film, except that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Although we had a little bit of a wait for the bus, it wasn’t too bad, and we were soon on our way back home.
A most satisfying day.
