That silvery sun changed to proper sunlight and after blowing me a kiss and telling me to be a good girl, as if I had a chance to be otherwise, she went off to meet her friend.
They met at Shepherds Bush station and went down the Uxbridge Road to a nut shop. Which goes by the splendid name of.. Nutcase! It's situated at 352. Uxbridge Road, London W12 and it sells, beside nuts, yummy nougat and wonderful coffees!
They bought what they wanted, she resisted buying coffee.. this makes her sad as she LURVES the taste of their coffees but, oh boy, caffeine makes arthritis kick off in her right hand so badly that she has stopped drinking it completely.. sigh.
They hopped on a bus to go back to the station. Her friend smiled, hugged her and said "let's make our next jaunt longer, sorry to have to have to run, give old Feather Face a kiss from me" and with that, she was gone.
Hmm, she thought, I'm going to go to Lidl and see if there are any of those cheap narcissi left and take as many as I can carry, she crossed over the road and walked into the shopping centre.
Oh dear.. they've all gone.. for in their place were pots of hyacinths, she turned round to go out and spotted out of the corner of her eye trays of the narcissi on a trolley.
They had been moved to the other side of the passage and were looking a little sad. But, the ones she bought previously had looked sad too and she knew they would be fine if soaked in deep water for an hour.
She poked amongst the trays on the trolley and cherry picked pots with the most bulbs and made sure that each bulb had several buds and didn't just have leaves.
Brilliant, now she's lots of enchanting narcissi for a long grass bed which is full of yellow flowers and backed by a wild honeysuckle.
Thrilled with her swag, she crossed back over the road and caught a C1 bus to bring her and WW home.
It wasn't until the bus was on the Earls Court Road that she saw the rain, which is less than a nano second, developed in to a full blown downpour.
Ugh.. thank goodness she had a hat and gloves and that our bus stop wasn't too far from home. WW and she ran home, for the downpour had turned into a deluge and gave no sign of being of a short duration.
She practically skidded as she turned the corner and picked WW up, hitched the handle over her shoulder and came down our stairs so fast it made her blink!
Miaow.. Hiss.. Spit.. she made strange noises like cats do when they get wet and gave herself a good shake. Shucking off her jacket she put it on a hanger and hung it on the shower rail to drip into the bath.
And came into see what I was up to.. 'Up to?' I had been fast asleep for most of the time she had been out but hoped that she had remembered to bring me some walnuts and hazelnuts.
Her mobile was low on battery so she plugged it to charge and went to make out lunch, which was quick.. two strips of grilled belly of pork, we both love this meat, they were placed on top of a bowl of steamed spring greens with spicy seasonings.
She cast an eye on her mobile and saw that there was a WhatsApp message from our upstairs neighbour.
"Oh no, oh, please no", for it was to let us know that our mouse hunting cat friend Mr. Boy is missing, he had gone out of the kitchen window at about 9am and hadn't returned. She went to check that he wasn't in the courtyard outside our sitting room.. sadly no, he wasn't.
'Please God, please let him come home safely' she thought and send his mum a message to tell her about the family who own the house on the corner who own the back courtyard where he might have fallen, for he has never been out for longer than half an hour before and he has been gone for nine and a half hours.
Poor Boy, poor girls who love him, we're very sad.
GeeGee Parrot.
