out for a spin

Lunch with my brother Doctor Barn and the Mammy in the Whitewater Centre, Newbridge.
We are at a cafe called Puccinos which has very friendly staff and really good coffee.
Also it has twirly chairs.
Yes, twirly chairs.
That is you can sit in the chairs and spin. They turn right around on some sort of axle. Very nifty.
Swivel chairs I think is the technical term.
Anyhoo.
Barn and Heelers are at the counter.
The Mammy has gone to secure a table.
"Look," sez the Doc suddenly nudging our hero.
Heelers looks.
There are four teenage girls from the Holy Faith convent school sitting at one table. They are spinning their chairs merrily and chaotically.
They are all spinning. Some clockwise. Some anticlockwise.
At an adjoining table the Mammy is installed and is equally merrily and chaotically spinning her chair.
It is a most charming scene.
"That woman," I murmur, "really knows how to live."
