Inner monologues

Who me?
Why, I just got back from the bank.
Bank work, for which I left at 7:30 to reach there on time at 8:00, and realise it was closed because the opening time was 9:00.

Then what?
I just stood out, waiting for the bank to open and then it began to rain

Uh oh?
Yeah, I sought shelter under an awning and held up my umbrella but there was a strong gale and I was getting mindlessly wet and so much for walking to the bank.

Oh dear!
Yes indeed, I'd not even breakfasted, thinking my work would be done in a short short while, but no!

And so?
I was near a shopping complex abrim with pastry and coffee shops that beckoned to me

You didn't!
I did. Walk into a patisserie I did. Sat on a warm chair I did. Order a Danish pastry, a small egg sandwich and a steaming pot of hot coffee, I did. What can I say? I caved in.

On a Thursday?
Precisely and I'm sad and yet not overly so. Things happen. Plans go awry. Learn to deal with it.

And the bank work?
Uh, only partially done. I've to be back there on Saturday morning. (Sad face)
