Lasting The Pace!

Work was a right shit one today. I spent more time out front of the shop on the strand than inside. As I deal in the second hand/auction hall business, it is most welcoming for the sun to add warmth and the evenings more light. It also helps having a local Spar on the corner with nice chilled red and rosé wines keenly priced. But I sat and downed the whole bottle in an afternoon with only 1 person stopping and looking.

In my last hour I was determined to make a sale and I bought some soil and a packet of gladiola bulbs and stood and planted them into a brass fire-side bucket (that we'd been tripping over for months) and stuck in a card to advertise the fact. I got it sold within the hour....! Mind you, I really only saved £1 by the time I counted the wine, soil and bulbs but a sales a sale!

Right - I'm off now. If I bump into you and I'm walking the route home via Spar, turn me around and send me in the bridge direction, please! That's the right way home!
