This post is for Nathan

You would be so proud of me this morning.

Monday, grr Monday. I was having a crap morning. Anyway, I was holding out for a V at morning tea time, 9.55am. Got to the cafe, ARGH! They have none! Not even cans! Only lemon V, which, let's face it, doesn't count.

So I set off down the road to a chip shop called Mr Pies and Fries that I'd never been to before, with my $3.50. They'd have V. Yes, certainly they would have V. They better damn well have V.

Oh sweet god they have V, lots and lots of bottles of heavenly V. Buuuuuut they only have bottles! And they are $4! Argh! My day is getting worse. So I begged the man at the counter to let me have a bottle for $3.50 and he says yeah sure! Saviour!

So, Mr Pies and Fries, you made my day so much better. I'm planning to return at lunchtime with the extra fifty cents.

You know I'm sure I posted a witty and entertaining comment here this morning, but apparently not. Or maybe I'm being censored.

Anyway, I'm impressed...I was thinking I should try beg for cheap V:
"I REALLY want this V, but I only have this old 20c coin..." (opens top button on shirt)

Or not. Anyway. Good on you for repaying the 50c, it seems like a trivial amount but it makes the world a slightly better place.
