There it was, right in front of my car, and it called out and said it had something to show me. Tis true.
I blamed my car at first, for not going where it was supposed to go, it does this sometimes.
I decided to leave it in the hands of fate and if there was a parking space nearby, I would go and look, but if there wasn't, then I would insist my car took me home.
Blow me if there wasn't a Fiat sized space not 10 yards away!
What a coincidence, I thought, and took that to mean I'd best go and see what was in the shop.
To my amazement, I spotted a tiny gold cross necklace and couldn't take my eyes of it. I tried to drag myself away, but my feet wouldn't move in the direction I wanted, they would only move towards the shop door.
You can guess what happened no doubt. I ended up having to treat myself - against my will you understand. I had left my sensible head at home.
So I have a new necklace, and my lost one will no doubt be jealous and come out of hiding now.
Now the dilemma is, how can I replace the money I have just spent?
Have I got to resort to selling my body at my age? How does one go about it?
I thought about putting a red light in my porch but broke it going up the ladder.
Or should I write a card and stick it up in the nearby phone box, with some glamour girl's photo instead of mine?
I think I'd be acceptable as long as it was dark enough and foggy enough, especially if the pubs were just turning out, but can I remember the procedure I ask myself?
What do you think I should do?
