Instant Chocolate Flavoured Karma

I have been being pretty nice to people of late. Giving up seats on the tube, smiling at nice vegetable selling men and the like. Last night I got a Karma down-payment. I went into my local (lovely) bakery and they had a little round tin loaf. I asked how much, and she knocked it down from £1 to 50p 'cause it was the last one. Then I looked around to get a piece of cake for my housemate who has been feeling down, and asked for a piece of the chocolate cake. She launched into an explanation about how the milk hadn’t been warmed when they made it and ended up giving the slice to me for free. She then went on to give me two more slices for free. I tried to give her more money, but she refused!! So – I walk out with a yummy little rye loaf and three hefty pieces of chocolate cake for 50p!!! Talk about raking in the karma! Mind you, I have seen them out the front of the bakery smoking splifs, so it is possible that she was a little stoned. Actually, in the middle of the transaction she and the other baker actually left the bakery and went out into the street to look at the sunset. I followed - the sunset wasn't that great. I actually laughed and said something like - yeah! for an english sunset!! The guy said that it was the sunset was the join between two worlds.

Actually, now I am glad I got out of their straight let alone with cake in hand. Anyway, it was good cake so all is well that ends with cake. Mmmmmmm.
