The Buzz

I’ve gone on a bit of a mad shopping spree. I’m not sure what happened, but I think it’s Philippa’s fault for going out tonight and leaving me on my own. She should know by now that I can’t be trusted to behave in my own company. It started off innocently enough - I just thought I’d have a quick look at second-hand wetsuits on eBay to see what they were going for - but then I just lost control and went into full-on impulse-buying mode. I don’t treat myself very often so when I buy something nice I get that pleasant tingly feeling, and tonight I just kept chasing it and finding other useless shit that I convinced myself I could do with.
So now I have an all-weather wetsuit and boots on the way, as well as ‘dampeners’ for each of my drums (and I don’t even know what they do!!), a large build-it-yourself model of the Apollo 13 rocket (‘to wile away the Winter evenings’ I told myself) and a Limited Edition signed copy of Bill Oddie’s Guide To Great British Birds.
Thank God Amazon have a 14-day cooling-off period so I can send them all back before Philippa sees them and calls off the wedding so she doesn’t end up hitched to a madman.
