The acquisition of material goods
09 July 2007 @ 18:05 in Life
Little by little, my existence in Bath is becoming a
little less Spartan. I now have a
can opener, I today bought a bottle opener
– for the lovely, lovely bottles of real
ale purchased at the weekend, before realising,
bottle held forlornly in hand, that I didn't
have an opener – and in about a week's
time I should have a toastie maker. Yum. This is
all just as well as my wife today realised that
there is technically a four-day window
between the release of the new Harry Potter book
and The Big Move, and so it's entirely possible
that come the day I expect to have all my stuff
here with me, I will instead have nothing except
the knowledge that Mrs Receding Hairline knows
who dies. (My god, there's a
hell of a lot about Harry Potter on
Wikipedia...)
