With Mars entering its third pillage of the lunar village just before dawn, and Earth falling accordingly out of astral alignment with reality for the second time this year, you’re sure to be paying us a visit sometime this week. As you enter the store, a combination of prevailing north-easterly solar winds and our brand new Incomprehensible-Yet-Creamy One Way System might well waft you towards the alcohol section in preparation for the weeks to come. Here, you will find hand-selected hand sanitisers from some of the newest and most exciting vineyards in the world, in a variety of textures ranging from slippery-and-awkward to dry-and-weirdly-grainy. Why not treat yourself and your remaining loved ones by taking advantage of our pandemic special ‘one-for-the-price-of-three’ offer? Whilst the increasingly indulgent-yet-nutritious pull of Venus might put you in a romantic mood, if you’re having some ‘you-time’ this evening, stop by our household cleaning section and ask a member of staff to help you pair some industrial-strength bleach with your dinner. Before you leave, the waning of Jupiter’s third moon may lead you to the baking isle to stock up for your ninth attempt at sourdough this year; let’s be honest, the sourdough starter does a better imitation of sentience than you do at this point.
