I really, really think I need one of these.
People are never on time for anything any more, it seems. Unless it's something like a film, people will happily add upwards of thirty minutes onto any time that they have been told to arrive. I'm definitely guilty of this too. I mean, I don't want to be the first to arrive, do I! So I'm forced to be late. Yes, that's what it is...
In other news, the weekend has flown by in a whirl of sushi and bouncy castles. Now I know how it feels to be a fairgound skivvy, battling against parents who are determined to sneak their precious offspring onto the bouncy castle without paying, or who suddenly become a deaf-mute when you ask them to remove their sprog because their time has expired. What should be an enjoyble bit of fun becomes a sinister battle of wills! At least the sun was shining.
It was fantastic to have some Japanese food last friday. It really took me back to my time in Japan. I even got to sit on a big long table with total strangers, in the traditional style.
