Saucy Groceries

Today I narrowly escaped a clever plot whose purpose was to destroy my groceries, most notably a glass bottle of fruit juice I loosely held between my arm and body. It went like this: I was walking from the organic supermarket to my car, when all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I noticed a lot of white and pink. It was a completely naked lady parading in front of a window and she was wearing nothing at all and she was somewhere in her twenties or thirties and ... well-endowed. I immediately held onto my juice and ssssssssslowwwwwwwwly continued on my way to my car. Completely unexpected to see this in such a nice neighborhood. Perhaps the worsening economic times push some households to the limits of decency.

Anyway, I thought this was worth a mention in the form of a status update. A distant second place goes to a nice bargain I scored: 2 herrings with onions for a mere 1 euro! And the worst that happened? Well, that was that out of four clothes' shops I visit to buy clothes, three of them have gone bust this year. Today marked #3. Unfortunately, I wasn't even able to share in the spoils, because the final sale was over and it was all closed-up and dusty :( One clothes' shop left. If that one goes belly up, I will also soon be walking around naked, when my clothes wear to shreds and tatters.

Reminds me of "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
