Another day of rushing about to spend money.
At least I have found a way to spend an unusual gift card I received some time ago. It has taken several months to find someone who will take it online. Tomorrow I spend it!
I had to purchase Amazon cards for some folks Christmas and birthdays. When I got a note from my niece to say her daughter was getting her 'Masters' online, which meant I had to put aside watching Wales lose to Iran and go online to Edinburgh University to watch her! This formal extravaganza, full of pomp and more pomp, meant watcher a line of clever people walk up, be doffed on the head by the man in robes, and pass on. Luckili Rhiaan came on quite quickly, so I could return to watching the poor football.
However this does mean I have to send her a congrats card, which means put an Amazon card in with it, which means more expense. It also means her dad and mum will now loudly reiterate the phrase used quite often in recent years, "Get a job! A 'Masters' in Archaeology will not make that easy. Looks like McDonalds again...
Wales disaster means they must beat England, and this does not look likely. Tonight England imperialists take on the former colony of USA. Which side am I on...?
