A local man has today won the weekend, barely minutes after it kicked off.
With another much needed Friday afternoon rolling around, Tony Johnson has done so by getting on the front froot and doing a spot of shopping.
Not for the new toilet seat he needs to sort out in the bathroom, or groceries which he and his partner desperately need, or even a nice little pressie or treat for his significant other.
But by popping into the tinny factory and picking up some supplies for the weekend.
“Yeah I’m just popping into the shop’s babe,” said Johnson, as he hoisted a case of Fosters onto his shoulder.
“Should be home in a little bit.”
When asked by his partner whether he could grab some lettuce and a couple of tomatoes to go with dinner, Johnson was forced to think on his feet.
“Um I think they are um out of those at the moment, but let me see what I can do,” he said, coming to the realization that he might have to actually visit the other shops.
“Oh yeah, I think Walshy, Simmsy, Bert and Freo are gonna come over as well,” he said, wincing at his lack of comms.
However, thankfully for Johnson his fiance had already liaised with the other girlfriends, and was completely across the situation.
“Yeah, I know, you idiot,” laughed his partner.
“Lucky the girls are organized,” she said.
“Anyway, just grab a lettuce and some tomatoes alright, and maybe a case of beer for you and the boys.”
The final instruction drew a nice smile from Johnson, who confirmed he was on the job.
“Easy as,” he said, plonking the case down on the counter at Dan Muprhys and ending the conversation.
