Early at the Corner Shop

For once in a very long while, I am meeting up with an old friend for coffee at some ungodly hour before 8 am. I used to do that every day, almost. Now it is such a rare occurrence that I have to commit it to text. I can imagine the morning assemblies at places all round the island, with the ritual unfurlings and recitations.

Hey, that's a good title for a book! Unfurlings & Recitations; it has a nice ring to it.
