Trip to Brighton

On my birthday, I planned to spend the day with a friend at Southend-on-Sea, a seaside town in Essex, but as the time drew near, I had a change of heart and decided to spend the day alone.

One day last week on my way home from work, I had an idea to stop at another friend's house for a quick visit. While we were having a chat, he asked me if I fancied going to Brighton with him on my next day off. I said yes. He quickly booked the train tickets online.

Today was the day.

Although it rained on and off, we still had a great time. We walked through the area of Brighton that has independent shops, had lunch at this pub, walked on the pier and promenade and attended an exhibition at the local museum. In the evening, we got on the train back to London.

I didn't plan to go to Brighton, but God blessed me with an all expenses paid trip to Brighton.

Thank you, God, for the lovely day out. ❤️

Second of November

While my colleague and I were letting the audience into the auditorium, this man said to me,, "Is it the second or the third today?" "It's the second of November today," I said. "I meant is it the second or third concerto?" he said.  I burst out laughing. His wife told him to check the programme. Before they went in, he told me my response could be used in a comedy sketch. That's what you get when you ask a literalist, like me, a question. 😄

Indiana Jones

Today, I was working as a host at three graduation ceremonies from the same university. At the end of each ceremony, the orchestra they had on stage played the theme song from the film, "Indiana Jones", composed by John Williams. By the end of my shift, I had that song stuck in my head. On the way home, I stopped at this restaurant to get some food then walked to the bus stop  As the bus I wanted got cancelled, I decided to travel a different route, which took a lot longer.  When I finally got home, I had a quick shower. I then turned on my laptop to watch some mindless TV on this film channel. Guess what film they had on? "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Very funny, God! 😂 Of course, I had to watch it again, even though I've seen it a zillion times. I never get tired of Indiana Jones films or that theme song. ❤️

Bananas

 A few days ago while I was grocery shopping, I wondered if I should get some bananas, but I decided not to as they don't last long. That's why I only buy a banana when I fancy one in that moment.  I got red grapes instead which last a lot longer. Yesterday, I didn't see my flatmate as I was already in bed by the time she got home. This morning when I went in the kitchen, I noticed my flatmate had left a note on the kitchen top for me to have these two bananas. I immediately gobbled one up. Thank you, God, for providing my bananas through my flatmate. ♥️ Photo of the note and bananas 😊
