I went out at around 12 midday, caught the bus into town, taking a fabric bag I’d bought at the National Gallery with a stamped birthday card inside, for the post.
It’s a particularly nice bag, with Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ all over it.
Anyway, got off the bus in town, no bag! Thought I must have left it at home.
Forgot all about it until 9 pm, no bag in the house.
On the off chance, walked back to the bus stop, in case I’d left it there - and nobody had nicked it.
Someone had kindly laid it carefully over the plastic bench.
There must have been masses of people at that bus stop during those 9 hours, so I do count myself lucky!
