Today started off fine but, by lunchtime, the rain had come on. Jamie popped in this morning to drop Archie off and stayed for a chat. He called in to the local service station he uses as he felt one of his tyres was a bit soft. There was no hose on the air pump so he went into the counter and asked what was going on. The surly fellow behind the till said that they had taken the hose off because "people were driving in and stealing our air." Well, we can't have that, can we? Perhaps someone should explain the concept of 'service' station!
Jamie does a lot of driving and probably fills up twice a week but he'll be taking his business elsewhere. In fact, he drove into the next service station on the main road and a very cheerful lady came out from her cubby-hole to see if he was OK with the air pump. No doubt, she will see a lot more of Jamie in the future.
Checking my calendar, I note that the summer holidays are over. My Probus Club starts back tomorrow and my Writing and Poetry groups on Friday. It's been a lazy time over the summer but it will be good to get back into a routine.
