In the meanwhile

I've just been on my errand to the parish door. I  felt a mixture of fear and embarrassment but it all went fine. On the way back I called in at the Asian shop to get a couple of bits I'd run out of. That was two birds with one stone, but I did a lot of walking carrying quite a bit of weight. Now I'm back at the library, after which I've got my every-other-Thursday appointment.
