Slept till 8.30, looked at emails, then
Drove south to Wilmslow through rain from Salford,
Having remembered to pack book and pen
So I could write these lines just like I should.
Met wife and daughter by the notice board
That says ‘For Sale’ at the front of their house.
Wife went for haircut, we went, as rain poured,
To return library books. Quiet as a mouse
Daughter was not. Saw Santa. Filled our mouths,
Then rested, watched TV. But at seven
We watched Cinderella in panto. Lord,
It’s 35 years since I did that. Chose
Macdonalds drive-in meal for Jo, and when
Near home, egg fried rice, with curry sauce poured.
