The bus was late. I need an app.

I was waiting at the bus stop for the 1.09 bus. It was late. Becky was also waiting, she checked her phone and said it will be here in a few minutes. Then a young man arrived. He also checked his phone and said the bus will be here shortly. I laughed and said oh that's what you need an app for, to check bus times. I haven't got any of those. He was a very nice young man. Said he was going to the station to catch a train to Newcastle to watch a football match with his friend who lives there. We had a great conversation all the way to Scunthorpe. He had sustained an injury to his shoulder while playing rugby, and his arm was in a sling. He looked very fit, wearing shorts, showing off his muscly legs. 
I called in to say hello to Nicky at the Arts centre before I set off walking back. It was a bit chilly so I had my hood up on the big jacket. This tree blew down in high winds ages ago and no one has bothered to clear it away. I'll take a photo. I have tweaked the saturation on it a lot. The wood now looks as if it could be a jagged rock. 


I thought I had spotted my ducks, but I could be mistaken. There are hundreds of them around the park area. They wander all over the village. 

Now it's time for dinner. I made a stir fry earlier for lunch. I made extra which I will now heat up and serve it on a couple of pieces of garlic bread. A glass of Chardonnay will go very nicely with that. 

Thanks for popping in. Have a good weekend. Toodle pip.   ilona

    1. Deciding who you are going to get along with is often down to the vibes you pick up from body language. You don't get that online. The first response when you start a conversation gives some indication as to which way it might go. Tread carefully in the beginning. Keep it light hearted and chatty. Watch their facial expressions. Watch how they position themselves, do they come closer or do they back off. Do they open up early on, or do they proceed with caution. They might not like you, and you might not like them.
