The unwitting complicity of Mrs Meleady
There was a huge package for me in the Yoshida Building. It didn't appear to be a birthday present, largely because the writing on it was none other than my own.
I realised it was the rice cooker I'd bought in the Joshin sale and sent to my cousin Sarah as a wedding gift some months ago.
Returned to sender.
And I do need a rice cooker.
I think Mike's words said it best: "Hello Providence!"
So, I'll have to come up with some other wedding gift for cousin Sarah, but, for the time being, I went out and bought a 5-kilo bag of rice.
Whatever else comes to pass between now and payday, at least I won't starve to death.
