Update on us.

20:27 hrs

Today was my first opportunity to try and sort out a bizarre situation with one of Fair Damsel's Christmas presents that had caused great disappointment on both our parts when she opened it.

The present in question was an elegant boxed set of 'The Lord of The Rings' cup and saucer which I had presented to her as the last present of the day. Imagine her disappointment and my total confusion when she opened the box, reached inside, and l... withdrew a cup and saucer emblazoned with DC logos; including Batman and Robin.

This afternoon, I returned it to the store and was met with astonishment mingled with disbelief from the young male cashier. At first he informed me that he couldn't do anything because the time period for a refund had expired. There was a baffled silence from me before he relented and said that I could exchange it if they had another one instore, but that I would have to look for it myself. An hour later, I returned empty handed resigned to taking home a Batman and Robin set to hide in a cupboard. Fortunately, he took one look at me, smiled, and refunded the full amount paid.

All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

Well as much as it can be given the circumstances.
