Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!

... and that means me 'cos Ted tells me he has run out of dog food so I'll just have to wait until he goes to the store tomorrow before I get my breakfast. Maybe he'll give me bacon again; yes, I'll roll my big brown eyes at him pathetically and he'll give me bacon. Bacon, bacon, bacon, oh what a happy dog I am!
So the tale of woe from the Evil Empire Emporium today was one of few customers and very few sales. Oh dear, Senga will not be pleased when she hears those figures.
Nevertheless Ted, Buddy, and Wee Jeanie had a bit of a treat tonight as they attended a special evening event with some of their customers and therefore not only had dinner on the Evil Empire but were able to talk to each other without feeling guilty!
There is justice in the world.
