Don't you just adore synchonicity. So here's my priceless encounter in the Health Food Store in Glastonbury right after posting this about masks, goggles, spece suits and Mars...

I walk up to the counter with several people around me wearing masks and felt a wave of humour come over me as I approached the till. A jolly young lady was there to serve. I couldn't help myself but broadcast quite loudly,
"you know what, they'll have us wearing googles next!"
To which she smiled, laughed and replied,
"I do hope so, I look so cool in goggles".
"You know what's coming after that?" I replied, "Space suits!"
"Oh yes!" she said, I'll look so cool!"
And before I could add about preparing us for colonising Mars she said...
"You know what, we'll look dead cool on Mars".
To which I replied on leaving...
"Well I promise to come and break you out of the geo-dome!"

It was priceless. Just priceless. I laughed so hard my jaw was aching!
