One Man's Quest To Gain A Fan

So, nigh on two weeks ago, it was really quite hot, and having already tried and failed to purchase a fan, I decided enough was enough! This time I wasn't coming home without a fan. So I hitched my pants and with a determined stride I ventured into an almost indescribable place of bustling wonderment, a place people call 'A Shopping Mall.' Shrugging off the initial shock of the noise, lights and seething human crush, I set about my task.

My first obstacle was navigating my way past the book shop. An old nemesis, many a promising shopping trip has been bought undone with a waylaid misadventure into that particular bibliothecal abyss. I put the blinkers on and soldiered past, into the omnistore called K-Mart. The expedition was encouraging, fans were sighted, but they were of an inferior size and quality to suit my particular needs for the impending Queensland summer. I made note of them should true desperation arise, but remained upbeat.

After all, I had an ace in the hole. A happy hunting ground referred to me by my brother. A place that had proved fruitful for his endeavours in the past. A place where just about anything is available, if you are willing to pay the price. A land of true extravagance, 'Myer!'

After entering the strangely lit grotto, I quickly located the whereabouts of the fans, and was flat-out thunderstruck at the range of choices open to me. I was like a kid in a candy store, if that kid was 27 and realised that if he wanted to buy food for dinner (not really dinner, more accurately, if he wanted to buy beers...nice beers) he couldn't afford most the the candies on offer. Having assessed the wares on display and weighing up how many gold I was carrying I made my selection. I also afforded myself a new selection of handkerchiefs as my current supply seemed to be following my socks out of the wash somehow. Having made my purchases I proudly marched out of the 'Shopping Mall'.....but not without first buying two music albums and a sandwich.

After arriving home and completing the required assembly, I can say that I would recommend this fan. Cranked straight onto 'High' setting, it resembles an ultra light accelerating down a runway. All in all, a most productive outing.
