Lovely Day

I'm having a lovely day.First to Brunswick Methodist to have a coffee with my friend Ian, before going out collecting for Marie Curie Cancer Care.  
Who should tap me on the shoulder but Mrs Poet.   
So I could introduce two of my favourite people to each other.   
Then out on the street collecting which is always fun, for people watching if nothing else. 
Where I saw Lesley who I used to help with Newcastle Talking News, a weekly cassette newspaper for blind people.   
Then Andy, the husband of Sarah who used to work with me at Neil Forsyth & Associates two decades ago. 
Nice chats and catch up - with passersby undeterred from putting money in my tin and getting a daff. 
Then on the bus on the way home saw Fester's mate from Novo's Rugby, who Thunderthighs is now delivering newspapers to of a morning, and who is also interested in pits and threatening to ambush himself at the Mining Institute sometime soon.
