Saturday Joy

 

The syncopated Christmas rhythms continued apace today as the brass played and the choirs sang.  Crowds passed by, some stood and watched occasionally joining in while others sped around elbowing towards a complete Christmas shop.  
I put my fingers in my ears and wished I had my 'Bah Humbug!' hat with me.   


I searched upstairs in Tesco for the item I needed urgently.  Last night while drifting off to sleep I made a note to remember this when in there this morning.  I forgot.  So there was I in Tesco scouring around upstairs searching the toys, the stationery, the handyman items all in a vain effort to remember what it was I forgot to note as I could not remember it now.  Only while searching the 'reduced price' box did it come to mind -ink for the printer! 
I had seen some the other day while in but was not sure of the number.  Did I require 300 or 301?  So I stood once again in Tesco wondering which I required.  I plumped for 300 hoping it was the right double pack of Colour and Black ink.  It was!  How glad I was while at home realising my brainw as much better than I had deduced.
As I opened the drawer where such stuff is kept I found both an unused double pack and the colour ink from the previous set!  I forgot to look in the drawer....

I think you're going to have to scrap together some pennies...forgo some other thing and buy yourself a bottle of Scotch to help lighten and brighten your spirits, Mr. Ad-Man...just do it, laddie...worry about the electricity bill later!!!!

I have been taught there really isn't such a thing as luck, but you keep proving to be an exception to many a rule.

Lee, I'm more worried about the printer.
