the future

Is this what lies ahead?
Arranged to meet EJ at the nearly new toy sale at the church up in Polwarth at 11am. Got a text from her at quarter to saying that she was in the queue. The queue?! I suddenly became aware of what I was going to.
It was carnage.
Now, we're going to be a shoe-string family and expect that these nearly new sales will be the way to go but I may have to compromise and accept that I won't get the best stuff if I turn up after the crowds have died down.

Off to the Lyceum for a fantastic night of culture (after grabbing a hot dog at the Hanging Bat for dinner first).
