Today, at lunchtime, I found myself stuck in Tottenham with nothing to do for the rest of the day, considering my options. Now for those of you who haven't been to Tottenham, one of the popular options under circumstances such as this is to leave Tottenham! So I decided upon a little excursion to my local fish shop; Even though I don't really have a 'local' fish shop as such. I decided upon Maidenhead Aquatics in Mill Hill as being easier to get to from where I was rather than the one I wanted to get to from where I normally would be. [if you get me ;)]
Boy! Was that a mistake. The garden centre that holds MA Mill Hill had closed and taken MA with it. It is now being converted into a new Primary School! Bloody kids, don't they have enough schools as it is! Why on earth do they want another one? I thought the birth-rate was falling? Hasn't any one heard of Birth Control?
Anyway, a warning for you North Londoners!
"But the fish shop has been stolen
And the mailbox is locked
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be Stuck inside of Tottenham with the Mobile blues again!"

mmmm ... bad day, eh Steve?
I hope there's a cold beer in the fridge for you when you get home. ;D

oh...poor Steve! Isn't that annoying when that happens? I went last week to a shop that is supposed to be open until 7.30pm, but at 6.55 it was already closed!!! So, a 40 minute round trip for nothing >:( The next day I went back again and whilst at the checkout commented that I had been the previous evening and why had they closed early? My answer? A gallic shrug and the reply that she wasn't working that day so didn't know. Bloody french!!!
Anyway, on a brighter note, I dragged myself out today to investigate the new garden centre that has opened 5 minutes down the road from me. Imagine my delight then when I discovered they have a small animal department as well! Only a few fishy things, but jolly handy for food, gravel, emergency filter bits and the like...no fishies themselves sadly, but who knows, they have only been open a week. So, I bought myself a little net...... I needed a fishy treat!
I hope tomorrow is a better day for you :)

Sadly, I'm not allowed beer anymore; So I had a stiff g&t instead! No ice though; I'm defrosting the freezer. Never rains but .....

Wow.... really bad day!
It's was actually a really really bad day! The reason I was stranded in Tottenham in the first place is because I attended a meeting that had been rearranged without anyone informing me!

That qualifies as a totally sh1tty day in my book!
