Old Folks touring 4

We have set off and arrived at our first destination. The sky is clear and blue, the sun is bright over the mosque's curved dome and the locals seem quite friendly. The neighbours have talked to us about how hard it is to work all hours in their shop and pray five times a day. The young man who spoke to us about this is only 19: he looks emaciated as he says he has little time to eat. He is clearly exhausted as he works 7 days a week; gets home from work about 10 pm and is out again by 5 am. This is Birmingham, UK.

Have a good trip Ray. I never posted your CD, I've burned it though...
Being made redundant soon, either that or relocate to Blackpool (worse than B'ham I think) so maybe I'll join you...with no pens, though maybe with an accordion. guess who..
