Eat out to help out

It’s not doing it’s job. I got my breakfast 1/2 price, so did the builders who go in every morning, and the group of 7 who were going to eat anyway. Also, friends pulled a planned meal out forward by a day to take advantage.
I drive over the Brecon Beacons in storm Francis: frightened the life out of me . Poor Ethel was buffeted and blown about.
Saw both aunts today. One told me about the affair my dad had with the hired help, he got caught when mum came home early from her friends house, found them in bed together, Kathleen (the fling) later died of pneumonia aged 27, her son died in a house fire a few years later.
The other one fed me and asked to stay over so I didn’t drive in the storm.
