The woman next to me has just sat down and taken out her phone. She's got an old iphone 3 like me and is on her notes app making a to do list. It's called 'To do list before xmas' and is subdivided into various sections. The first, 'for the flat' has a list of all sorts of importing things:
fix the front door
fix the lights on the Christmas tree
fix the normal lights
The next part is called 'food stuff':
Throw out the moldy bread
Buy new bread
Raisins? [I wonder what the debate is? Maybe sultana's are an option? Perhaps she already has some?]
Other stuff:
Ignore bf for another 2 days
Wrap presents
Buy presents (for the bf?)
Eat chocolate
Hide chocolate wrappers
It seems this woman has got all situations carefully timed and planned out, she doesn't look all that happy though. But then people with lists never do look happy.
Sitting opposite - a woman with a scowl on her face, glaring at everyone and full of hatred for all these people out for some Christmas shopping. It is clear what the problem is though... She is holding a bag with a Terry's chocolate orange inside, and it is not for her. She is considering the moment she hands it over, and the look of bitterness is quite apparent on her face. I can just imagine her burning with rage as she writes "It's not terry's, it's not mine, it's for you." on the christmas tag. I sympathise with her. That's enough to make anyone upset.
I bet wee baby jesus would not condone Terry's selfish creation though, it clearly brings out the worst in people at such a time. Maybe he will be sent to hell. And could you imagine if he is, we can only hope he takes the chocolate oranges with him. It would smell amazing down there. It be like one of these fancy spa places and you will be able to go and relax in a giant jacuzzi full of hot bubbly melted chocolate orange. I suppose the ones in heaven would be cleaner though, so I guess it's not a reason to want to go there.
