Fucking shopping

I had never, until today, filled a large shopping trolley until it was overflowing. I had never, until today, spent more than £150 in a single trip to the supermarket. Asda! A world of firsts.
Dunk was a legend, helping me through my list, pushing away at the trolley, and doing all the driving. We finished just in time – just! – for a quick beer at the Marble with Pippa and Bruce. Bruce invited me back upstairs, and we chatted a while. I borrowed knives, a hat, a jacket, and walked home a bit pissed. If there’s a better way to spend the last Thursday of your twenties, I’ve not found it. Besides, I’ve missed my chance now.
