When we run out of time, we start spending money.
And when we run out of money, we're charged in time, says Red Dwarf :))
As for the Christmas markets, I thoroughly enjoyed one last week, Thursday if I am not mistaken, although it was a rather consumerist one in many ways. Still, the experience is what counts for me :) Consumerism of some kind, too. But perhaps at least better scalable; you can only have one cup of mulled wine to make your experience complete, or even pass on it at all, while you can hardly be happy with only a battery from an iPhone instead of the device as such. That makes the difference among experience and a tangible gift to me.
Especially when the wine is offered to you freely by well-meaning strangers ;)
Doesn't happen to me, though :) The new haircut might help, fingers crossed!
As I remember it, it was a communal wine (almost religious), but I simply hogged it. Like a greed-bag, like a mouse. Or does that mean maybe I've more need of salvation than you guys?
I guess it was the fear of laxatives that made us agree you could hog it :)
