I Accompanied Diana To The Bus Stop,

past the snail mail box, 


Diana was going to work, I was going into town, 

I alighted at the stop near the florists, 

a nice show of spring plants, 

the dwarf daffodils looking nice, 

over the road to Boots the chemist, to pick up my bi-monthly prescription,

then a walk to TECSO express, I bought a few bags of our favorite popcorn, Butterkist, then back to the park on a number 54 bus, 

walking into the park, in the side garden of Foxgrove Lodge, the rhodendrens were in flower, 

and nice they looked too,

the walk back home was grey, arriving there I spent some time making a poster for the nature group meeting on the 10th. March, I will pop down to the Bricklayers Arms the week before to ask if I can put it up inside the pub, hopefully they will say yes,

after that, 

time for my evening read and sherry,
 
for tonight a lamb curry, 'Cheers!', then feet up for a couple of films as there was not much I wanted to watch on the normal channels, firstly,

 We Dive at Dawn, a gritty war drama based in a submarine, a thrilling, for it's time, adventure starring Sir John Millsreleased during the war in 1943, as an aside the submarine used the film P615, was sunk in action a few months later, She was torpedoed by the U123 near Sierra Leone on April 18, 1943, all forty-four crew members lost their lives, next a film I had watched before,

 The Pink Panther it is still so funny even though you know exactly what is going to happen next, when the coach of the France soccer team is killed by a poisoned dart in the stadium at the end of a game, his expensive and huge ring with the diamond Pink Panther disappears, the ambitious Chief Insp. Dreyfus assigns the worst police inspector Jacques Clouseau to the case, the rest as they say is history, case solved, after which a Endeavour had just started as Diana arrived home from work, after which we were both off to bed.
