Man, what a day! I swear, Coity’s got a way of throwin’ curveballs. Woke up late, as usual. Alarm? Nah, didn’t hear it. So, I’m rushin’ outta my flat on Mill Street, hair a mess, coffee spillin’ everywhere. Classic me, right?
First stop, the café on the corner of Church Street. You know the one? The one with the dodgy Wi-Fi? Yeah, that’s the one. I’m thinkin’ I’ll grab a quick bite. But nooo, the barista, bless her, spills my flat white all over the counter. I’m like, “Great, just what I needed!” But she’s super apologetic, so I can’t stay mad. I mean, who hasn’t had a rough morning?
So, I finally get my coffee—thankfully, no more spills—and head to the office. But wait! I forgot my laptop charger. Ugh! Back to the flat I go. I’m sprintin’ down the street, dodgin’ puddles like I’m in some kinda obstacle course. Coity’s weather? Always a gamble. One minute it’s sunny, the next it’s pouring.
Anyway, I get back to the office on the High Street, and it’s chaos. My boss is yellin’ about deadlines. I’m like, “Chill, mate! I just got here!” But he’s in a mood. Turns out, the whole team’s been messin’ up the project. Great. Just great.
So, I dive into work, tryin’ to fix things. I’m on the computer, fingers flyin’, and then—BAM! Power goes out. Seriously? In the middle of a deadline? I’m thinkin’, “This is a sign. A sign to quit and become a beach bum in Spain.”
But then, the lights flicker back on. Phew! I’m back in business. I’m crankin’ out reports, and suddenly, my mate Dave bursts in. He’s got this wild look in his eyes. “You won’t believe what just happened!” Apparently, he saw a fox chillin’ on the street by the park. A fox! In Coity! I mean, I’ve seen some weird stuff, but a fox? That’s next level.
So, we’re laughin’ about it, and I’m feelin’ a bit better. Then, lunchtime rolls around. I head to the local chippy on the corner of The Green. Best fish and chips in town, no contest. I order the usual, and while I’m waitin’, I see this old lady struggle with her shopping bags. I rush over, help her out, and she’s all smiles. “You’re a good lad!” she says. Made my day, honestly.
But then, as I’m walkin’ back, I trip over a curb. Classic! Fish and chips go flyin’. I’m standin’ there, mortified, while some kids laugh. I just wanna disappear. But then, one of the kids comes over and hands me a chip. “Here ya go, mate!” I can’t help but laugh. Kids are the best.
Finally, I get back to the office, covered in crumbs and a bit of shame. But hey, I’m alive, right? The day drags on, and I’m just about ready to call it quits when I get a message from my mate. “Pub later?” Yes, please!
So, we hit up the local on the corner of The Square. It’s packed, but we squeeze in. I grab a pint, and suddenly, all the stress melts away. We’re laughin’, tellin’ stories, and I’m thinkin’ how Coity’s got its quirks, but it’s home.
As the night goes on, I realize, yeah, it was a crazy day. But it’s the little moments that count. The fox, the old lady, even the kids laughin’ at me. Coity, you wild little town, you’ve got my heart.
And that’s a wrap on my day. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
