Wooden-eye actually held up pretty well. the threatened cyclone warning turned out to be a boiling sunny day with no let up. The terrible forecast buggered up our seaside town, tourism dependent market, the upshot being I did .......wait for it......4 readings and sold two copies of Bonefire. Three of the four were sweetness and light. One was a bit dark; about a relationship. In short after a very unpromising spread filled with incompatibility, three of cups came up in the outcome position, which for better or worse my mouth interpreted to be; the support of girl friends, so turned one more card to find a little solace- I think of it as Wooden-eye actually held up pretty well. the threatened cyclone warning turned out to be a boiling sunny day with no let up.

The lady was gutted and teary. I explained that the cards spoke if the situation as it stands now and how tweaking things could alter it, but the damage was done. I will have to work on that.....
So aside from feeling dreadfully guilty about not brightening that lady's morning (and believe me I have wonderful ability to ruminate) the morning was not a disaster. I was not that nervous after all and had more than enough to say. I felt a little bit random from time to time, my story not hanging together that coherently, but on the whole the experience felt okay.
I will try another market next week-, though I am not entirely convinced that a market is the best place to read, as ever, I am high up on the fence.
None of the bad weather measures were actually required after all, but I have them all stored in my noggin for a rainy day. I did drink like 4pints of water, all that talking! I am still thirsty now, two large glasses of red have scarcely helped at all, in fact they have just made me inordinately sleepy. So. Post over. Thank you and goodnight.
