My five minutes

Up early, before the family.
Cycle into town, as the snow begins to fall again.
Sales!
Waiting for the shutters to rise.
Not quite a stampede, but certainly a faster pace of entry than usual.
Kitchen department calls.
30 second snap decision: sold to the man in the hi-viz jacket!
A new double oven.
Delivery Details taken: "not quite sure how to do this", says the sales assistant. "Not normally my job."
Upstairs to furniture. New matresses for the kids.
Then back into the blizzard.
Up to the 'field.
A quiet cafe.
My five minutes of peace:
1...
2...
3...
4...
5...
Quick call home. Still not quite awake there.
Back on to the velo and home.
