OK, you know when you have one very interesting girlfriend when you have a conversation like the one below
me: I need to get out of bed in the next 10 mins. put on a wash, go to the supermarket then make an actual dinner for myself this afternoon. This evening I'm going to the quiz and celebrating Karims birthday, what about you, do you think you will get to go home early today?
Catriona: no, i am meeting the ice maidens at 7pm then going to see Jelena afterwards about our cloaks
I find I just don't meet enough ice maidens these days.
As it turned out my day was pretty interesting too. A simple trip to the supermarket (is there ever just a simple trip for me?) turned into an adventure in Neuilly and a foray almost to the Arc d'Triomphe. It was also an insight into the psyche of the lost man. Do I ask for directions or continue on a straight line to the horizon.
I tried the latter first but figured after 20 mins that circumnavigating the Earth because I am too pig headed to turn around would be a little extreme to say the least. I tried the former next and discovered I had only been 100 meters from the supermarket originally. The real question is will I do it again. The answer is almost certainly yes.
One good thing came of this. My adventure had given me a desire to investigate in the shop and in doing so I found gluten free goodies for my girlfriend.
