Three hours’ sleep, then up early. Drove to Wales
With P and L to visit sister Claire,
Tom, Lewis and their cats. It rarely fails
To rain in Wales, and as we drove down there
Past Ross-on-Wye, Symonds Yat, Monmouthshire,
The grey clouds rained like women and children.
They started again as the Swansea air
Grew full with silver droplets. That was when
Pearl met her friend from college (called Ellen)
At Tesco’s. While in the pub, Louis nails
His pool shots and beats me. A dismal fare
Of football news: after a crap season,
My team, the Rams, drops down, gone off the rails.
Big meal at Franky and Benny’s. (Trop cher!)
