First Thing I Was Out,

into a wet, grey, miserable day,

I say miserable because it has not rained for so long, and now it was making up for it, standing water everywhere as the footpaths were flooded in the park, I was up early as I had a appointment at the doctors surgery, 

I walked past the green,

and the newly cut graveyard, 

the bank conversion continuing, 

down the steps to the Manor Way and the surgery, for many years I have had a small wart on my right side between armpit and waist, well it had grown a tad larger, and a second one had appeared near it, Diana said I should have it checked out, just incase, as it happens all was well, it was a old person wart, totally harmless, although I was told if it started to bled or grew significantly bigger it could be removed, so that is a relief, I was given a long scientific name for it, but I forget it, apparently it is a type of wart that only affects white people, if you are colored you will never get one of these, how strange, 

next stop the bus stop in the High Street, the heavy rain had turned to a slight drizzle,

the entrance to Travelodge now finished, 

a bus to the Market Square in Bromley as it was a Friday lots of stalls here, 

but overnight it was raining so hard it put a lot of stall holders off, like the greengrocer, 

there were a few stalls here though, 

and this is the one I wanted to see, the fishmongers, 

but first into Lidl, spiced rum stocks were running low, 

back to the fish mongers, 

a large cockles, small whelks, mussels and a pot of crayfish tails which only come in one size, £20.50 and I was on my way, 

into the bank to pick up some holiday funds and I was on my way back home, Diana had not left for work yet so we had a coffee and a chat, she was on a late shift today so Diana did not leave until late in the afternoon, for myself it was a snack on a pot of whelks as I watched The Chase, 

before my evening read and sherry, 

followed by a smoked salmon starter, 

for my main meal a Chinese chicken curry with egg fried rice with peas, delicious! I settled down to watch a Outback Opal Hunters, then in a change of pace I decided on watching,

a Netflix television series Marco Polo, I should say 4 or 5 years ago for the second time I read a wonderful book about Marco Polo, 

 The Journeyer by Gary Jennings, and what a fabulous read it is, so I was a bit apprehensive about how Netflix would cover the huge range of travels that he did, I was well impressed, so much so I watched the second in the 20 episode series! after that Diana arrived home so feet up for a coffee and a chat whist we watched another from the It Ain't Half Hot Mum boxset, after which we were off to bed.
