We ventured into Bridgeford earlyish ( 10 to 10 bus) and went for iced coffees in Caffe Nero. We sat in there as they were quiet inside everyone opting to bake outside. The air con was on in there and it was heavenly. I've decided if this is a precursor to the heat in Hell, I'll have to somehow get my atheist butt into religion, as I will not cope. Mind you, if I do go to Hell, Satan may be worried that I will take over. Right now being in a less warm purgatory might be a good option. And don't assume that an atheist wouldn't know about Heaven, Hell and Purgatory, One, I was made to go to Sunday school, in hospital, and I had a bit of a teenage fling with Church when I foolishly believed it could heal me. I just wanted to be a regular kid. Then I realised I actually didn't believe anything and while I loved gothic buildings and crosses I fit in somewhere entirely darker.
Sitting reading in a churchyard with the dead was far more peaceful than dealing with the living who could be both cruel and duplicitous.
When I started work, I would leave the shop and go to the memorial grounds near the market place to eat lunch. If the weather was foul I would have to suffer the canteen. I learned that taking a book and sitting on the comfy seats at the back of the canteen, was preferable to having to listen to inane chatter or, sitting at tables where you were not welcome ( or the topic of conversation when you left). Perhaps that was purgatory, who knows. I now think it's somewhat like the waiting room in Beetlejuice...
After coffee we went to the Co-op to find shorts for Kev for next week, which he did find, thankfully.
Then onto M&S for salad and tofu for us both for us. A quick pop into Iceland to get bottles of brewed cold coffee and we came home.
I rang Sheerings, and found out what time we are being picked up on Monday. We are doing the door to door pick up. So they send a car to take us to the pick up point at Mount Street. It saves us having to rely on the bus to get us there in plenty of time.
This evening Kev watched the football while Charlotte and I sat outside. Denise and Janet joined us and we had a good natter about all sorts. It made for a pleasant night.
It was so hot overnight that Kev and I got up around two am to sit up and cool down with drinks and an ice lolly.
