8 Things That Happened Yesterday
I made some yummy Aloo Gobi
Son forgot that it was Thursday and he had to wear a white uniform
Because of that I had to go fetch him from half way to school
Was busy at work
Walked around with a friend at tea time and remarked on how hot it was
It rained cats and dogs just as I left office, and I got wet
As I neared home, there was no rain and my wet look drew glances
I went to bed early.
