It was a gorgeous, warm, sunny day and I had plans to go for a cycle this afternoon.
Then my phone rang. The conversation went something like this:
Me: "Hello"
My Friend Heather "Hi. It's me" (I did think it was odd her phoning at this time.
Heather: "What are you doing right now?"
Me: "Having a cup of coffee. Why?"
Heather "Can you meet me in Devizes?"
Me: "WHAT!!! You're HERE!!!" (my friend lives 300 miles away)
Heather "Yes. I'm here"
Me: "Uhh, haven't enough fuel in the car" (I'm getting really mean where fuel is concerned and haven't been paid my wages yet as boss is on holiday and not due back till Monday)
Heather "No problem. I'm on my way"
Me: "Heather, you are soooooooo dead"
She's only down for a couple of days visiting her family. We spoke on the phone the other night and she didn't let on she was coming down. It's the first time in 3 years we've seen each other and it was the best surprise I've had in ages:D We're going up to her house in 3 weeks time for the weekend but I didn't expect to see her this soon:D
She's recently taken up cycling but has arthritis and (against my advice) bought a second-hand mountain bike. She wants me to find a bike like my Raleigh for her (she did ask me if I wanted to sell her and I said no) so tomorrow I'm on the hunt to find a good second-hand bike for her and take it up when we go there in a few weeks time. Have to get a rack for the car.
Have to admit it upset my plans for today but what a smashing way to have them upset:D :D :D
