Last night I attended a masquerade ball as part of an old
school friend’s wedding. It was a bit of a fiasco as I didn’t arrange to get
the time off work. So my first black mark was for arriving fashionably late. I
also failed to obtain a mask; having dashed into the local bargain shop only
that morning to find that most of their Halloween props were off the shelves as
it was the last day and everything was going out of fashion. I still had no
gift but decided to make the journey to work to save time and shop there; only
a traffic jam put paid to my plans to wander into town. Instead I dashed into
the superstore where crying kids were tearing things off the shelves in amongst
zombies stacking shelves and inflatable giant pumpkins. I then chose a bottle
of champagne only to find it was overly priced at the checkout; but I didn’t have
time to complain and forgot what the proper price should be. I really need to
find more time for these things.
