Lucky day

I was in town with M and G. I was in my push chair. We had been buying things for G. I'd seen some nice tops but they didn't have spots on.

We were by the fountain when J bumped into us. He had his funny face with him. He'd been to the cinema with another girl. I didn't mind. We both know what will happen when he is grown-up.

He walked with us for a while. He took my hand. I held his finger. He couldn't stay long. He had to go. It was nice to see him.

When I got home I checked the chickens. There were two eggs again. Still only two chickens earning their dinner. And it rained again yesterday. So the others should have started.

I could have pointed out the non-layers to M. But it had been a good day. I was still thinking of J. I just smiled at them instead. They looked away. We understand each other. One more rainy day and I may not be so kind.
