3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.
Yesterday morning found me looking forward to spending some time with Janice, the owner of the shop aound the corner which sells the Angel books and Bach.
I hadn't seen her in ages-not since our last coffee weeks ago-and I had lots of ideas to run past her about renting a shop, running some workshops.....
The Second-Cup is a lovely coffee-chain and I have discovered that they do the best Hazelnut Latte that I have ever tasted. Imagine my delight when Janice suggested that we meet there-yippee. Even better that it was a Tuesday-meet because they do a medium Latte for more than a dollar less on a Tuesday. Seeing as how it was my treat this time, I felt doubly happy when I handed over the cash for the two drinks.
Like magic, the girl who was sitting on one of the four comfy window-seats got up to leave, just as I was handed my drinks and so I plonked myself down on her vacated seat which faced the window. I knew that it might be a bit risky, buying the drinks before Janice got there, in case she was late but I hadn't thought about her not getting there at all.
Sitting, watching the world go by, I realised that by 9.30, she wasn't coming but I sat for another half hour, enjoying the music and looking out of the window. Periodically I tuned into the conversation of the two middle-aged men who had asked if they could use two of the other seats, to which I had of course smiled 'Sure'
They chatted about the low mortgage rate of 2% for next five years and my interest was peaked. They also talked about the economics of having your store-front on the North (sunny) side of the street because footfall was greater. Very interesting. The store that I'd like to rent is indeed on the sunny side of the street and would be the kind of store that they were complaining about not having in the area. Mmm?
The Universe works in mysterious ways.....or not really?
After I left Second-Cup, (with Janices Latte in hand) I decided to pop into the bank where I told them I'd like to speak to someone about mortgages. They said that the mortgage-advisor would be in touch. I won't hold my breath. I then went for another wander around some different streets from yesterday, hoping that I'd see the place which will be my new home after the summer.
Nothing for sale but lots of lovely homes. It was freezing because the wind was icy and there were flurries floating around but I persisted in my wandering for a half hour before giving in to my cold hands and my need to pee.
Openning my laptop, I found an email from Janice saying 'Did you forget?' Turns out she was sitting with two lattes in Sturbucks, whilst I was in Second-Cup. Oh dear, she got mixed up so we must not have been meant to blether yesterday.
The afternoon was spent doing the final, final adjustments to Jen's Synopsis (isn't it amazing how much you can keep changing) and we are all set to go-yippee. Send positive thoughts, everyone.
I managed to do my two mediations, yesterday. One in the morning and Deepak in the evening. I even managed to catch up on my inspirational daily readings which I hadn;t done for three days-oops. I don't even have the 'too busy' excuse and still do wonder where my time goes.
Day two of Alisons work-week went well and she does so love those tiny humans that she sees daily.
There's not much snow left and poor Olaf is just a wee pile of white with a scarf and some gloves.
That was Tuesday, Folks.
Much Love,
Lxx
