Speaker 1 (00:00):
What a weekend huge. Yeah, mine started like everybody else is,
on Friday, mind, just a little bit earlier obviously, once
we'd finished here. But it was kind of tough because
I had to do my postponed a Spanish lesson. As
you know, Lisa and I are learning new things later,
not late, just later in life. Lisa is learning golf

(00:22):
and I'm learning to Espanol, learning to speak Spanish with Liliana.
At the Multicultural Language Center on the one on Hay
Street and Subiaco. They do classes and culture and community.
You can discover a new language there. They do French
and Italian as well. Anyway, I'm still trying to nail
this verb stuff. Still estoisufriendo con las con hugaciones. I

(00:49):
am suffering with the conjugations of my verbs. It's like
going back to primary school. It was really tough. It
was very, very, very tough, especially end of the week.
Brains a bit tired. Yeah, it was not as tough.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
To conjugated people on Facebook. They're not conjugating their English.
They can't get their first language right.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
I want to learn the language before I start throwing
elements a bit away. But as tough as that was
there was a walk in the park compared to yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh what happened yesterday?

Speaker 1 (01:22):
When I visited because I had to because my daughter
got dropped off to you know, see friends, and we
got a bit of a shopping list going for Christmas
and everything. I thought, okay, well let's make a so
much time, let's make a start on it. So I'm
here in one of one of Perth's largest shopping.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
I don't tell you what to Carona.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
I'm not naming names. But it was tough. And you know,
I was there ten minutes after eleven, and what shops
open at eleven? I was ten minutes past away, could
not could not find, I can't back. And you know
you're in trouble if you use ways and you're heading
towards it and it's not a sea of red, it's

(02:01):
just rivers of red around the shopping center, you know
you're screwed. So I knew I was screwed. It's a
busy place anyway, So I went on you know, various
levels and different parts, and then finally I went underneath
and right up the back there were all the green lights.
Oh okay, So I went there, and yes, the problem
with those green lights is they don't always work. People

(02:22):
were going down particular routes and it would show a
couple of green lights, but the parking spots were taken,
so you might maintenance guys, you might want to have
a bit of a look at that. Anyway, so I
didn't mate that it is tea. So I managed to
get a parking spot. That's great. So I start wandering
across to the pretend to be pregnant. No I didn't know.

(02:44):
I didn't and I didn't have to walk with a
limp and a cane. But I started walking across to
the escalator and then her dumb bum forgot something in
the car, so I had to go back. And you
know what happens when you go back to your car,
you're followed. Yes, it's still exactly yeah, And so this
person's right there and I'm like, oh no, you know,

(03:04):
it's in the boot. You know, I got to get
it out of the boot, and I'm sort of signature,
and as I do that, a person goes bang up
the back of them. Oh no, So now I'm get
really stressed. And all I did was go back to
get my bag, and I was just like, oh, anyway,
the door was open and they and I went, I'm
out of here, and I took off because I didn't

(03:24):
see what happened.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
It wasn't your fault, it was no, it was.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Because I forgot my thing in the car.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
And it wasn't your It wasn't your fault that that
person who went up the back of them went up
the back of the been looking where they were going.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
No, that's true. It felt like it was my fault,
not your fault. So anyway, I went into the shopping
center and I just got so anxious. For the first
time ever, I had to leave. Really, yeah, I had
to leave. He was so busy and I just had
to leave. And it's all because of this Black Friday thing.
He was saying in the six o'clock news that it's
down nine percent.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Not on a Saturday.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
It's no, Yes, it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
No Sunday, impossible, Karena is and Saturday as well. Crazy.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
So I went how to look at things, just to
make sure they were on the shelves because I was
looking at the checkout lines. Again, I'm not lining enough
for that. So anyway, and then I grabbed something to
eat on the way out, and I couldn't stay for lunch.
I thought, no, I'm just going to take it with
me at home. And I was the only person at
the at the bar, at this place that may not
sell salads. And finally, after about forty five seconds, the

(04:27):
girl looks at me and goes, so you're ready to order? Yeah,
you're ready to take my order. I'm the only one
out that was it.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
I was in the car and then you had to
step over the broken tail light cartage.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
So anyway, Wow, there's my five minute rant about and this.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Is why I am on first name basis with the
guy that delivers packages my house.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Next year, it's going to be a.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Beauty on Line shot.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
It's going to be an Avazon Christmas. Anyway, I'm sure
I'm not the only one who feels this way, and
I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
A lot of people get everything that you get there
delivered to you from there.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Anyway, there you go, another happy black.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Stressed now just hearing it.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
I'm still recovering
