Went to Tesco earlier to get a few things. Probably because I was using a trolley instead of a basket, I began to overestimate how much I would be able to carry home with me. “ ‘Buy 4 tins of tomatoes, get 4 free’? Having some of that! 3kg value bag of pasta? Yes please! 1kg box of Corn Flakes? Makes financial sense! 3 litres of fruit juice for the price of 2? I’d be a fool to say no! Etc!”
I staggered about 100m from the store and realised that this was going to be a painful walk home. It was. I had to stop at regular intervals to readjust the bags/allow the blood to return my fingertips. As I staggered along I realised that I was actually grimacing while I walked. My mind wandered to seeing those events on ‘The World’s Strongest Man’ where Scandinavians carry barrels of concrete while pulling trucks uphill with their teeth.

I can empathise here my love. Big time. Fantastic artistry. Or is it a truly accurate depiction of arm length?
It's a natural consequence of living in the urban jungle x
i had to carry my shopping bags up the hill from morrisons in kirkstall. I struggled enough to walk up that hill anyway, without having heavy bags to carry. which is why cars were invented- entirely so that you can buy more than one can at a time when shopping. however, maybe a car wouldnt have helped in this instance- I remember seeing this poor old lady trying to get her metro up the hill and it kept stalling on her.
The amusing thing is, i've only just noticed the arm length on there. What a pleb I am.
Hahaha! Idiot!
go go gadget arms.
