The Gray & Pram Brigades

Off sick today with the most disgusting head cold ever! Snot everywhere, though I'll keep the more grosser details to myself... can't have the reading audience being ill now! Of course there was virtually nothing in the medicine cabinet, so off to the chemist I go.
Don't get the opportunity to get out and about at the shops during the week and oh man what a change. Elderly people and people with prams dominate... even the shop assistants are older, not a pimple in sight! The person behind the counter actually talked to me (about cats actually as Madam Yo Yo was out of biscuits and of course needed a new toy to annihilate), nearly gave me a heart attack I can tell you, smiled and told me to have a nice day! Well wicked!
Older people and pram pushers walk a lot slower I can tell you. At first it was frustrating and then I thought, what the heck, I aint in a rush (though would dearly love to drown a gallon of paracetamol and a couple hundred day nurse) and took the time to just dawdle. Only bad thing about that is that I discovered a whole lot of new products in the supermarket that I JUST had to try and spent three times as much as I was intending too!
