A visit to Sports Direct today.

This was the third time ever that I had bought my own footwear. SO MANY PEOPLE IN A CONFINED SPACE! The plan was to find any pair of trainers in size 11.5, pay for them and get out of there! I think I did okay. They were £37.99 which is about £10 more than I was expecting. Reduced from £26,000.99 though, what a deal! The area near the tills was especially chaotic. One queue, which I avoided, had eight people in it. But then it turned out that all eight were buying one item between them so there was a sudden rush of people to that till when they all walked off together. There was some pushing and shouting. I stuck with my chosen queue and concentrated on my breathing.

End of part one. This exciting tale will continue after I've had some dinner.

    We went to Wembley IKEA today.  We arrived before 10 when there were still plenty of parking spaces in the open area.  I already knew what desk and small bookshelf I wanted.  We looked at the desk lamps and we picked one we both liked.  My partner also got some frames for her Vulcan bomber picture cards that she wanted.  We were all done and heading west on the A406 just as the place was starting to get busy and the vultures were hovering round the car park for spaces close to the doors.

    Mission success!

    Technically Reading IKEA is closer to us, but people tend to die horrible deaths before they are able to get out of the car park to flee.  This means Wembley is still the better bet for us :-).
