I did my usual trip to Slimbridge today, via Stroud. I would have come back with a few goodies from a couple of the charity shops in Stroud had the person in front of me in one not had a great big pile of stuff to buy and assistants that were moving in slow motion. In another shop I had about £30 worth of goodies I wanted but the queue was huge, slow motion again, and I had about four minutes to leg it round the corner to catch the bus out. All the goodies went back on the shelves and I made the bus in time.
At least my return journey is now in daylight although it's still dark by the time I actually get into the house. At least I found this in Gloucester on my way back - a nice subtle bit of 'graffiti'
