Standing in the checkout line tonight with my three items (shampoo, conditioner and bodywash of all things) it occured to me that it could be a scene from a movie. You know that one that's part of a larger montoge. The one where it's established that she's a little sad, or a little lonely or just trying to get back to whatever is going on in her life. It could possibly be because her boyfriend left for home and will be gone for an unknown length of time.
Then I noticed the woman waiting in front of me and realized that she might be from a scene in a movie too. It's probably british and it probably has hugh grant and she's scanning some fruit drinks, a diet coke or two and has four apples of two different types. Watching her scann the apples was a bit of comedy in itself. First holding two while entering the code and weighing the others and then swapping those in the hand for those in the back to scann the others. Those little plastic bags are free. Someone should tell her.
Her movie might have hugh grant but he's a bit daft anyway, isn't he?

Its nice to have you back, though I certainly feel for you both.
And 'a bit daft' must be one of the nicest subtly understated descriptions I've heard about Hugh Grant lately.
And on the apples ... maybe she was being environmentally friendly in not taking the bag ;o)

Good call on the apples Dave. I hadn't thought of that, but it just makes it all the more likely that Hugh Grant is in her movie. :o)
Hi Shannon! Totally true about the HFM etc., some of those people... really. Sheesh.
