Greggsventure

[cosmolinguist]

On the drive home from gym this morning (D was able to come along! it was so lovely to have him there with me for the first time since February), D was as usual pointing out the Good Dogs. We saw so many dogs enjoying a Saturday morning walk in the at-least-partly-sunny weather.

When my attention was directed to one particular dog, I couldn't help but notice that we were also going past a Greggs. I thought D would like to know that I was now thinking about pastry, so I said so.

We kept going, and my tired happy brain didn't think anything of it when he didn't turn the way he usually does to get home. We were chatting away, and he still hadn't turned, and then it occurred to me.

"Are you going this way so we can go to Greggs before we go home?" The one nearest our house was one of the few reasons that he'd still be driving this way.

So I got two vegan sausage rolls for brunch (I always eat breakfast before gym or I'll be too hungry to function). They were perfect: still hot (because Greggs is so busy on a Saturday morning, everything is fresh) and flaky and delicious.

As we left the shop, I said "Thanks for doing this. It really was just an offhand comment."

"Yeah," D said, "but a lot of the best stuff happens from following offhand comments."

It's true. I'm so glad we get to share so many silly little adventures.
