Breakfast In Town

tourmalineDay 212 This was my reward for getting up early and spending lots of time at the Post Office: an iced coffee (with cream) and a mediterranean panini:
I got up early (early for me, for a Saturday) so I could go into town to renew my driving licence. That turned into a 40-minute session (split by a call to the DVLA to get my licence number, because I've lost the licence card I should be handing in) but we got there in the end. I decided to track down a Costa Coffee, now that I have my Costa card, and there's one upstairs at the little Waterstones so I had my breakfast while looking out the window over the precinct, which was very nice. I had a few items to get - Mum's birthday present, plus a few toiletries - before coming home, I didn't want to linger cos either I spend money I don't need to spend, or if I don't spend money I'm just ambling round pointlessly. When I got home I got a speech from Dad about losing important things and carelessness - in his world, he and no-one else makes mistakes or drops stuff or whatever, everyone else is careless or clumsy or thoughtless or stupid or whatever. But thankfully my licence is now sorted, I just have to wait for it to come through. And I have a day off on Monday :)
