It has been a misty morning on the river which usually means that a hot day is coming up. And right on cue it did. I took Padma to her work in town, filled up with petrol, bought bird and duck feed, and called in at Vinnies where I found a Foster & Allen video and a Daniel O'Donnell CD as well as two study notes on Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" and Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby". All for half the price of a new book! Nearly drove past a scooter place but stopped and looked at their scooters for sale. Owning a Vespa was every young man's dream in my days in Germany! Should it now become an old man's folly?
