There is a narrow tiled path that cuts through the park that lies between my home and the super market where I do my daily shopping, I walked it four times today.

Yesterday one of the house guests staying over Christmas and New Year requested that we eat cauliflower au gratin for this evening's meal, I agreed immediately, anything to make a change from  the ubiquitous turkey.

Just after midday I marched off to the shop through pouring rain and assembled all the necessities in a blue shopping basket but when I reached the cash desk I realized that I had left my money in my other coat!

I left the basket with Jos the cashier and walked, again through pouring rain, back to my house to get my wallet.  By the time I made it back home my feet and coat were soaked so I changed coats, made sure the wallet was now safely in my pocket and  went  back out into the rain which was by this time coming down in torrents. I sloshed and sploshed into the supermarket and paid for the groceries. Jos asked "How did you come to forget your wallet?" "Ah the affluence of having two coats." I replied.  We talked for a while about the film The Hobbit which I saw yesterday then went back outside for my fourth treading of that sodden park path.

As I walked, head down heading for home, I saw before me two earth worms that had come from opposite sides of the grassy verge that flanks the path and who were heading for each other for what I sensed was a sex tryst.  At that moment a pavement riding punk on a motor scooter raced passed me and ran over one of the worms effectively bisecting it.  I walked on thinking "Not a good day for shopping if you're a man or for a shag if you're a worm."

It has stopped raining now, my house guests have gone shopping for bric-a-brac, I need to par-cook that cauliflower.
