Easter Monday

Well, my last day of freedom before the humdrummery of work kicks me in the bracket.  At least the pain will last only 3 days, then another long weekend.

I woke early, fuckwits rolling home pissed in street kept me awake until the early hours.  Felt inspired to fiddle around last night with iTunes, trying to think of a meaningful playlist to herald a brand new chapter in my life.  The name?  'Easter 2011'.  Fuck me sideways.  Need to get my mojo back - and quickly.

Got to Newcastle this morning before the shops opened.  Went to Starbucks for a cappuccino (less froth, more coffee next time, please) and sat with the early-morning cauliflower heads who were in there reading the papers.  Since when could pensioners afford Starbucks?  Moreover, should they not be sipping milky coffee in British Home Stores?  Ah, forgot - it's now Primark.  Bastards.

After that, did a bit of shopping.  Got sick of surly shop assistants asking 'do you want a bag for that?'.  Then, went to buy a spade at B & Q.  Jesus, the amount of people buying pansies, gravel, wood chippings, etc, etc was just ludicrous.  Got to the checkout and threw a total 'hissy fit' - chucked the spade down and flounced out of the store.  Total 'Elton John' moment, I am embarrassed to say.  Then took myself off to Wickes and bought a spade there (it didn't have their name on it though, so feel rather cheated).

Back home, had crab pate on crusty bread and a raspberry royale from Marksies - heavenly.  Then to balance my equilibrium looked at the internet for symptoms of liver and pancreatic cancer.  Convinced I will go the same way as the folks did.  What does this say about me?
