A great day
“Meet me at Tesco at 1. Bring your bike”. These were my instructions. I assumed this would just be another rubbish Payne-plan that was going nowhere; little did I know that I was going to have one of the best days in a long time.
It’s hard to pin down exactly what made it such an enjoyable day. The mood was just right. Four good friends all comfortable in each other’s company; a really mild, calm-weathered day; the best place to be in the world — Braefoot Bay. These must all have contributed. We just set up a wee barbecue, had some amusing chat, wandered down to the seafront and had a paddle, rode around on our bikes (complete with me falling off due to handlebar issues!) for a while.
You can’t organise days like these, they just happen. That’s a shame really, because I’d love more days like that; but I guess they’ll be more appreciated when they do.
