The lovely lady at Golden Skate opened her shop early and as we were the first customers and only customers at the time, we got really good service. DD is now the happy owner of a new pair of boots (blades to be delivered next week), pants, furry blade buddies and some smaller stuff. As we left, three little girls with parents headed for the shop. Perfect timing for us!
Having completed our shopping, we left with all our gear and walked back to the center to have coffee etc. Also shopped for snacks and chocolate eggs. We were at the station well in time and had time to play Angry Birds (DD) and watch people (me). As a rule, I don't take pictures of people I don't know, unless they happen to be in the background, but the man I watched at the station was so interesting, I could not resist the temptation.
The shabby, yet clean, man had a thing going on with his lunch. He dug out bread, butter and a beer from his bag, set them out nicely on a newspaper and started to eat. He kindly offered to share his food and talked to himself. Every now and then he got up, reorganised his foods and continued eating. He got so many dirty looks and comments from people passing by. He did not bother anyone, he did not make a mess and he wasn't shouting or misbehaving.
Our train ride back home was ok, we were both a little tired and at times, bored with sitting down. At home, we had a lovely cheese fondue for dinner. Fell asleep happily at 10 pm.
