Treading Gently

We had to call in at the garage for a bit of minor work. Decided to have a walk while it was carried out.
Turned out to be a short walk as there was yet another torrential downpour. So when l saw this chicken l took a quick shot and made a hasty retreat back to wait inside with Mr P.
We read the newspapers, had coffee and biscuits , very nice but had to endure a television with a rolling news programme on which contained nothing but election ramblings. Nearly went back out in the rain.

Heard from Rebecca who was at the dental hospital that Ruby’s tooth has died.
She has had a lot of trouble with her front teeth since a playground accident while at primary school.
Years of intensive and often uncomfortable treatment, including l can’t remember how many braces , have helped but it looks like she will be having more work done in the new year.
