... cancelled, ‘due to late running.’00:41 Jun 08 2008

I ended up getting the train to Liverpool after the one I had gone for, ‘which had been cancelled, ‘due to late running.’
I was determined to have a good day and forget the letter I’d received from the dole, reminding me my sick-note was up on the 8th Meaning, that very day.
They keep saying one doctor can’t sign on behalf of another; but that’s what happened. Once on the station platform, I learnt I had awhile to wait. And, thankfully, it wasn’t showery, though it did promise rain.
When the train arrived, it soon became clear that we’d be doing impressions of sardines; and there was me, wearing Patchouli oil.
I met Pete in Liverpool outside Moorfields Station, calling his name as I came down the escalator and someone, somewhere, repeated me.
But, he didn’t hear either, as he was on the phone, hands-free, to my Mother, asking “… where was I?”
As he finished the call and looked up, there I was.
I had been all round the front of the building taking a few pictures of the building, turned art; and the whole turning round.
We toddled off to the waterfront and The Ark Royal.
Now although the weather wasn’t ideal at first, we had both taken quite a few pictures, as there was so much to see, like the passing crowds, the old building and each other, as we took our photographs.
As time moved on, the weather got better. But we had to leave.
So, from the riverfront, we meandered through town, taking a few pictures of the people and places we saw, comparing on notes, on how we saw things
We left the waterfront at eleven thirty and got to ‘the Jac’, The Jacaranda, on time for the reason a series of emails had prompted me to travel to Liverpool in the first place, from Erica’s, the lady who organised ‘Doctor Who At The Cavern.’
Well, we had settled ourselves into seats downstairs at The Jac and awaited the surprise, which had turned out to be Christopher Ryan and Gerard Murphy. Although I don’t know what Gerard Murphy did in Doctor Who, Christopher Ryan has been a Sontaran in Classic Who and ‘New’ Who and, played Mike in ‘The Young Ones.’
Although I’d taken over a hundred pictures already, it was then that my camera came to the fore, when Erica bid me taken pictures for her, for us the group. As it turns out, a young fellow from another Doctor Who group also asked for some shots to be taken of his friends at his table. At one point I had taken Christopher Ryan’s picture with Pete, who later took a photo of it and sent it to Vicky.
The amusing bit was when, to his chagrin, he’d called Christopher Ryan ‘Mike’, as in the character in ‘The Young Ones.’
The fellow had seemed to taken it it good sport.
Yet, I was looking to the end of my day, so left after a smoke with Pete.
On the way back, I saw a slim young lady in a shop doorway, in a figure-hugging grey dress, good-looking heels on her feet and dark hose on her legs. Her hairstyle and make-up were impeccable. I had politely asked her to taken my photo, with the milling crowds behind me. Graciously, she had.
By the time I sat down to write, the early evening sun was so bright, I had to half-close the curtains to type.
