Don’t tread on the lines..
Today I went shopping with my family, and for the first time used my device whilst out all day.
Observations I would like to share;
-staff in shops are really friendly when you talk with them, many ending with ‘have a lovely day’ and it definitely sounded genuine. That was nice.
-staff are VERY appreciative if you offer them a Krispy Kreme Doughnut. I had 12 so had plenty. That made me happy.
-watching families in a restaurant, with children behaving like a young children, is a really lovely experience when your children are older but you remember similar times fondly.
Isn’t your brain clever.
You KNOW it was awful at times and often pushed you to drink and swear too much, but clever brain tells you this was a happy lovely, and even -dare I say ‘missed’ - time.
Tricky little trickster
-lots of shops have huge big fabulous fans just randomly put in the middle of the shop floor, this was very welcome. It was rather pleasant having a gush of fresh air blown on you whilst pottering around the aisles, albeit looking literally like it has just been plonked on the shop floor.
-I LOVE shopping bags. The paper, environmentally friendly ones, or even better the material ones - not plastic.
Every shop I bought something from, asked if I would like a bag, they then proceeded to show me a lovely ‘can not say no to this bag’ bag. I didn’t really need them, but they were all either ‘feel good’ bags, or ‘cool creative’ ones. I felt fabulous walking around displaying them all, basically showing off. I could have out them all inside one big bag, or just say no. But I did not.
This is not encouraging me to reuse shopping bags for shopping. I DO reuse them, but never remember to take them shopping, ever.
-I think everyone has become really friendly, chatty and smiley. This may be a side effect of the sunny weather, or possibly my medication. But I hope it is just that people are just becoming more lovely.
-So many shop floors tiles are perfect for an ‘on your own’ game of ‘do not stand on the lines’, but also ‘do not crash into anyone (or anything) else’ and ‘try and look normal’.
As an extra bonus, I feel like I can now tick off at least one day’s exercise.
