It's Wednesday lunchtime and I’m standing behind the tills in Tesco waiting for Brenda to
pay for her shopping, standing out of the way with my back to the window. The sun is shining warmly on me, so nice
after all the rain yesterday, but making me overheat as I am wearing a fleece. Each of my arms is dragged down with a shopping
bag full of cake ingredients for the next birthday cake. My elbow is sore, I
really shouldn’t be carrying heavy bags with it the day after seeing the
chiropractor. I place the bags on the floor by my feet. There is a hum of
voices and beeps from the till area. People hustle pass me, bags swinging from
their arms, or pushing trolleys. A baby looks at me and grins and I grin back –
she waves and I wave and then she is gone. Brenda is approaching me now, so I
pick up the bags again, debate carrying them in my good arm and decide that
would probably make my good arm bad! We only have to walk a little way to the
car. ‘All done?’ I ask Brenda. ‘Yes, let’s
go back to work’ she groans and off we go.

Not late at all, Becky - there isn't a 'late' with Simply A Moment :). Lovely to read your acutely observed moment, and I enjoyed the little things like the baby's grin and wave - how nice she found someone to respond to her. Sorry to hear about the arms and the chiropractor and hoping all will soon be well. I am always delighted to come and read your moment and thank- you so much for sharing it with us!
sorry to hear your having hassles with body bits too. Hope they feel better and the next birthday cake is delicious. I too like smiling at babies :)
Yes....sorry about the arm....a trolley next time,perhaps?
This was a great everyday moment to capture! Hope your arm improves quickly!
What a great everyday moment to have captured - so sorry to read about your arm, am hoping you will be on the mend soon. The smiling baby made me smile too just reading about it. J x
Such a great moment. Hope you feel better soon!
oooh I hope you managed to sort out your elbow. It's not good when you hurt. A great moment captured.
A great everyday moment to record!
Hope the arm is feeling better and didn't suffer any ill effects from carrying those bags so soon after chiro.
Hope your arm is better now!!
