Toilet Blocker 2




I am sure that there are people who read about my toilet blocking adventures with bemusement "I have never blocked a toilet in my life, what is this little man with a beret on about?"
From aspiring playwright & wordsmith yesterday to toilet un-blocker today. I don't know whether it's karma or a metaphor but today I had to go down to 'Charlies' in Aberystwyth to buy a his and hers matching toilet plunger. I went into Bum Bargains First (B&M) and then into B&Q where the staff had the 1000 yard 'Vietnam' stare knowing that their superstore is about to close. Every time I enter a large retail unit, a part of me dies because I don't want to be there but today I had to be there because I had to unblock a toilet. Whether I am so full of shit or just unlucky I don't know, but today as a metaphor for my life, traipsing across a Mid Wales town, everything just felt so fruitless and hopeless. A life led without purpose leads down and around U bends. Only 1 person can give your life purpose and that person is you, but any more blocked toilets and I am just going to walk away.
