Cardiff surprises
So, to try and help get our relationship back together (last chance saloon…) myself and Cat went for a little day out into Cardiff.
Surprise 1:
I always look in the market for albums, last time finding Martin Grech’s Open Heart Zoo on CD. This time I had a couple of vinyl albums ready for purchase (The Smiths and R.E.M.) when Cat wanted to look to see if she could find something for herself, so I took another look through the rare albums section. To my surprise what did I find? Only triple disc bootleg Time Has Told Me by Nicholas Rodney Drake! Sweet…
Surprise 2:
Shortly afterwards, as it was a nice day, we sat outside a Brains pub with a couple of drinks, and I was certainly enjoying my pint of S.A.. A young couple walked past, and I recognised the female, the very flat-chested female from a previous occasion which made me giggle. The reason I giggled was this; I was taking the train from my hometown to return to Bridgend, generally the first stop on from Cardiff though there are minor stations inbetween, and saw this very (as in the very same, not 12 years old) young woman there. She was fussing over my puppy a little and for some reason she struck me as a somewhat odd, and I thought I knew why but was a bit too tactful/reserved to ask outright. At some point she picked up her phone and rang someone in Bridgend, and in a very low gruff voice said that (s)he was about to arrive. Suspicions confirmed then! First time in Cardiff since that trip too, it’s a small world.
