I think I've graduated from the School of Transformation! My education's complete. Why? Well last night I began to watch the Box Set of the sitcom Outnumbered which I've never seen before.
At one point one of the children in the series asked mum if they could go on a shopping trip. I was horrified. "No" I mentally shouted at the TV. "You can't do THAT, it's not allowed and anyway all of the shops are shut!
How quickly we begin to change, without really noticing it's happening! It's probably a positive thing, knowing that I've achieved acceptance. But still, let's hope it won't be too long before we can one day just wander outside again and enjoy the pleasures of some 'retail therapy'.
