A quiet night's sleep in my bed, not a dorm
Typed up my holiday sonnets before
Collecting Pearl, who wasn't at all warm
The wind blew strongly. At first we weren't sure
Where to go for lunch, or to park the car
So drove to Salford Quays and ate inside
Cafe Rouge, sheltered from the gusty roar
She's happy in her job but can't decide
Whether to take promotion - she's worried
About going freelance, with its short-term
Contracts. Shopped for books, then took her sister
Josie for tea - a Chinese meal with fried
Rice, in the Alderley Rose. Time had come
For Josie to go home to sleep and snore...
Wed 21 Sept
