who: Gertrude & Iain what: Day off from coffee means sleeping in book stores. where: Iain's shop when: Wednesday, 20 June, 2012
Gertrude could have spent the day in bed, surrounded by fluffy goose-down blankets and lace, reading a book or just sleeping. She could have begun dismantling her sewing station to pack it all up nice and neatly to be moved into the space near her front door where other boxes already waited; she could have even taken her violin out and composed a new yet eerie song that no one would ever hear.. well no one but her rats.
Gertrude could have done any number of things on this day off, things that would have kept her at home.
Still she ventured out into the city - stopping into Hannah's only long enough to get a small box of pastries before coming to journey's end; that end being the beginning as she pushed herself into the wonderful book shop belonging to her knight.
