Told You So
Christmas Eve: Westfield carpark. Air-con busted, sweat dripping, radio tinkling….
*…Snow is fallin’, all around me…*
The boyfriend guns toward a free space…
*…’tis the season…love and understanding…*
“You won’t make that, they’ve parked right on the line.”
“Nah, there’s plenty of room.”
Screeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaak. Scraaaaaaaaaaapppeee.
*…Merry Christmas, everyone….*
Obviously, being a southern hemisphere blog, I tend towards uniquely southern hemispherical experiences…such as ridiculous snow-themed Christmas songs providing the backdrop for heat-stroke induced parking-lot rage. And to really up the ante, here’s the video for the song featured in my Fi50:

Love this challenge. And argh… the only thing worse than the crowds is the parking lots – managed to capture that 🙂

Yep…the silly electronic lights and things they’ve put in to show how many free parks don’t seem to help much…lucky bookshelfgargoylism doesn’t require many trips in the car.
