Chapel market nods
I’ve obviously been here for a while now. I was just walking through chapel market this evening and exchanged nods with 4 or 5 different people who know me by sight. Mostly they’re shopkeepers whom I see every day, but today I saw the old geezer I met in the pub when I was on bender last Friday afternoon. He’s 45, lived in Islington all his life, and for the last 30 of those has worked in the market pushing the barrows about at the start and end of each day. Trouble is he had a heart attack in September. He was in hospital for a while and the doctors told him to take it easy and not go back to work for 6 months. As he happened to be at work when I saw him this evening, I brought it up with him. He growled ‘What the fuck else am I going to do?’. Fair point.
