jackI got into town this morning for an eye test and I have a new prescription. As I was coming out I was hungry and I got some food from boots for breakfast, and was all set to sit on a bench in the rain reading and eating before going, when I met Jacob and sat talking matho with him, eating, in the rain instead.
(I'm stubborn, ok? I should probably break the habit, but it's only raining a little, so I'm going to do what I want and damn the weather :))
Amongst other things, he asked if I knew if there was a Millets shop, and I said I was fairly sure they had been the second-least unhelpful shop last year when I'd hunted for a camping stool. Over *there* if I remember correctly.
Wandering around seems like the wrong game, had he tried google. Was it in the Grafton Centre? He didn't think so -- he'd seen it about and he rarely went out there.
I tried google on my phone, and it found millets in cherry hinton, and in ely, but not the one in town. (The interface is a little limiting.)
At this point, a nagging feeling came to the fore, and I pointed back, and asked "Can you read what it says on that green sign?"
He groaned in success. I said, "I *said* I needed new glasses."
