I've had a good day. Funnily enough, finally getting the official announcement of a run-off has created a calm in me and those around me. For the first time in a week I got a full night's rest, actually woke up at seven which means I managed to sleep through the rooster (who I would shoot, marinate and grill if I had a gun) who crows from 2 a.m. but most loudly at 5.30-6.30, the crazy man who blasts r'n'b from 6 a.m. AND the disgusting man (actually it's probably the same man) who spends ten minutes clearing his throat and making the most disgusting sounds you can imagine. And to think I hear all this through closed windows and with the AC brumming away!
To get back to the point, I woke up rested, so relaxed I actually made pancakes for breakfast before getting to work. But the reason it was a good day is because I finally had my first mango in four months! As I devoured it, every sense pleasured by its succulent sweetness, I realised it had been so long I had actually forgotten just how delicious mangoes are!
On top of that, I finally got a feel of the Christmas spirit...in Koala of all places! With the Christmas carols playing, over-the-top decorations and chocolate tins (Quality Street ridiculously priced at GHc28 or more!!!), combined with the cool AC temperatures I actually felt very Christmassy. Maybe the season isn't lost just yet.
The only odd occurence was the man either stalking me or coincidentially needing to look at all, I mean ALL the products I went to look at throughout the shop! He looked fairly normal, an Arabic, or possibly Lebanese man in his mid-forties, but every time he'd get close (which was all the time) he'd huff and gruff as he reached for the product. In the end it distracted me so much I quickly went to the tills and left.
Oddities, oddities!

The guy sounds scary. I think he was stalking you. Good thing you left.
Maya, the cretin was looking out for shoplifters. I better stop here before I'm called the X-word (and I won't say you and I should get together today and go find some suicide bombers on the Oxford Stree, no, I won't say that!)
The funny thing Geri is that I think he was just strange, didn't seem interested in me at all, maybe he was just "inspired" by my shopping, ha ha!
Ooh Nana Yaw, feeling angry, are we? ;)
He was definitely shopping for himself, saw him at the till next to mine when I was leaving (and cz of my many trips to Koala I recognise all the Koala people), think he was just a strange, strange man!
Then I apologise.
