I suppose it's natural, Hazel and I, we're both "knocking on a bit" in years, a bit "stick in the mud", what has become regular is "normal", but, we have decided on change, to become more adventurous.
It came about by sheer chance, we, literally, bumped into a neighbour, if we had seen her coming we would have crossed the road, now that's not a nice thing to admit, but, it's true. Her first words were, "I'm just back from Iceland", and then we stood there listening, "Have you ever been there?", how nice the people were, how clean every thing was, it's not too far to travel, etc, etc, we did, eventually manage to get away.
Hazel and I walked on in silence for a bit, I'm wondering what the score is in the football match Rangers v Celtic, Hazel was the first to say, "Maybe we are stuck in a rut, we do always go to the same place, and, I'm not complaining, it suits me, but, perhaps some thing different next time?"
"Well, I'm happy to try" I said, "We are on first name terms with many of them at the usual place, I know that it's always much the same but they do tell us about the new things, I've no real complaints about it, but I will go along with what you decide".
So, she has decided, next week we travel a little bit further than we usually do, and we will visit Iceland.
Anyway, their carrier bags are bigger than Sainsbury's, they fit the pedal bin better.
I'm curious as to why you wanted to avoid your neighbour? That sort of scrunched up my stomach when I read that...why do people not want to talk to their neighbours anymore? I don't understand...
