Open the fridge.
Nothing there.
Decide to go shopping. Check bank apps to make sure I know where the money is, coz temporarily impecunious* (broke).
Walk to M&S. It closed 3 minutes ago. Had I not checked the balances I’d have made it in time.
Walk on to Tesco.
Choose food.
Get to check out. There’s no queue, but… credit cards are not in my bag.

Walk home.
10 paces from front door, I realise cards are in my pocket.
Walk back.
Big queue, this time.
Security guy gives me an old fashioned look.
Buy stuff.
Get home. Not really hungry any more.
Write this.
