Day 208 - The lives I've never led

Prior to joining the Gym I needed to get kitted up with gym type stuff, so the obvious choice for me was a Sweden football shirt. My fellow team memebers thought a football shirt was not the correct thing to wear to the gym, but when I get an idea in my head it isn't about to get shifted by other people talking sense to me. So I went to my local JJB shop and went straight up to the Sweden football shirt section to find that they had 1 in stock. Unfortunately it was XXL and I think that even though I need to lose a few pounds it may just have looked a bit baggy on me. I asked if they were getting any more in stock, but they sucked in their breath and said "You just can't get hold of Sweden shirts at the moment. They can't be had for love nor money". I wondered again if I should get the XXL one, but after a couple of hours pondering I thought I'd better leave the shop, so I did. I then spotted that a Marks and Spencers food hall was in the latter stages of being built and would be opening soon. I though that this was good as I was getting a bit fed up with what Safeway and Asda had to offer in the old food department.

So over the next week or so I visited the sports shop a few more times to buy socks and check if they had any more Sweden football shirts (and also take the oportunity to see if the M&S food hall had opened yet). A couple of times I nearly bought the XXL one, but something always held me back. I didn't even buy it when the price was reduced by £10.

Last night I did the old checking if M&S is open yet routine and I found it was now open. Despite the fact that I have a streaming cold I though I needed to celibrate with some nice food from M&S, a bootle of Cava and a DVD. So I bought the food and Cava from M&S and then went to Asda to buy a DVD.

I ended up buying the butterfly effect as I had heard from few people it was good, although I knew nothing about it other than that. So I sat down with my glass of Cava and small bowl of piri piri cashew nuts and began watching, and I must say it was a really good film. It got me thinking about such things as what would have happened if I had stayed in Sweden in 2000 rather than going back to do some work in Yorkshire. I guess one thing that wouldn't have happened is the creation of this blogg. I have watched a few films since starting this blogg and in the most they have all been, not only good, but also films that could change your life.

Something big is going to happen........
