In The Pink

I'm feeling qite well today....in the pink!
Now i'm a person who is often tempted to view the world through rose tinted specs. Unfortunately life has a habit of jumping up, bopping you on the nose and knocking them off.
Reality.......the word is not half has hard as the concept.
As i was driving along yesterday, Zills singing along to her i pod, admiring the purply pink spikes of the foxgloves and the delicate pink of ragged robin in the passing hedgerows, i gave a thought to "PINK" and it's close cousin "RED"
I'm seeing red as i pass yet another fuel station....132.9 pence a litre for diesel.
I glance down and see the fuel gauge is perilously close to the red and i'll never get to the dentists and back before it sinks to empty.
Never fear, he who should never has lent me his credit card, as mine, along with the tesco clubcard and my debit card have been swallowed by the washing machine.
Do you remember when hole in the wall machines were introduced? I do and i was always petrified that it would swallow my card. Let me tell you at least with a hole in the wall machine, you stand a chance of getting your card back in one piece. My washing machine has been spitting them out via the filter in little pieces!
Go to Morrisons, he advises. They have a pay at the pump.
So with his card in my pocket and the number written on the palm of my hand i look for the said supermarket.
He says i'm notoriously bad at navigating.....i think this is part of a spurious propaganda operation by men against women.
I found the dentist, i navigated though Swansea without getting tooted at or having a bump, but i could not find the needed garage.
In desperation i drove into the nearest garage, which happened to have diesel at 127.9 pence per litre....but no pay at the pump.
Feeling hopeful i filled up, pondering overgales in the bank account and being very much in the red.
I walked into the kiosk payed with his card easy peasy!
Not very secure these cards are they, especially since no one looks at them to check a signature?

Zills pink faced watched as i walked towards the car, almost disapointed that the police were not ready and waiting to ambush me.
