Everyone can be bought. The price may be money, power, sex, promotion or the right sort of chocolate.
I have found out that my price is a fairly cheap bottle of Cava.
When school finished I left at once and miss out on the lunch that was provided. I would rather eat at home than in school and so went for chicken from the better of the two roast chicken places near us.
I was the only person there and the jolly guy serving engaged me in conversation. When I told him that I had just finished work he opened a bottle of beer and poured me a glass, inviting the person working behind the scenes to join us too. When I said it was also the first day of the holidays he brought out a bottle of Cava from the fridge and plonked it on the counter and urged me to drink it to celebrate such an auspicious day!
I must admit that such a generous impulse has bound me to this particular restaurant for the rest of my life: not only a glass or beer but also a cold bottle of Cava. I am well and truly bought.
There was a different quality to the lying out in the sun this afternoon knowing that I didn’t have to go to school the following day – even for a half day!
I intend to enjoy the next two months!
And tomorrow I will start to construct my “To Do” list.
