In the meanwhile

I went to the council offices and got my bit of business with them started. These people don't exactly work at the speed of light, so let's see what happens. Next point of call was the loo and, surprise, surprise, it was out of order again. So I legged it to the ones up the road, and both cubicles were occupied by people of both sexes, who sounded like they were trying to inject themselves. No way, so I went to the butchers for a snack instead. Then it was a fairly hast sprint in the other direction where I went in peace, as it were. It's starting to feel rather hot outside.
