Coffee And Doughnuts

A friend from work, and I took courses at the Neath Technical Institute. I left Swansea about 7:30am, and had to run down Mount Pleasant to the bus station in order to get to the Institute. For lunch we walked up town to a little Italian cafe and had  a doughnut and coffee for lunch. After afternoon classes we went back to the cafe and had - another doughnut and coffee. We didn't have much money at that time. After evening classes I caught the 10:00pm bus home to Swansea and walked back up Mount Pleasant. This was a really steep hill and at one point the bus going up would change gear and I was enveloped in a cloud of black smoke - I can still smell it. I look back and wonder how we managed all this running and climbing on a really poor diet but I guess it didn't do us any harm.
