From now on, if I need fresh mint I'm going to have to use other means of transportation to obtain it.
I phoned Chadlington Quality Stores in Chadlington:
"Hello. Do you have any fresh mint in?"
"Ooh. You're in luck. Just got a few bunches in for another customer."
"Great. See you in half an hour."
My only quandary then was how to get there?
Walk? I love walking? But no, that would take more than half an hour. I said I'd be half an hour!
Run? Shit no - my running shorts were in the wash.
Cycle? Good idea, but that would only take 15 minutes. I said I'd be half an hour!
Then it came to me. Star jump it! All the way there! This would also nicely double up as an eccentric anecdote to tell people in the pub later.
"What d'you get up to today then Man Friday?"
"Oh, I star jumped to Chadlington to get some fresh mint."
That would surely raise the eyebrows of eavesdropping bar-dwellers.
