Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport

Julian sat down at the kitchen table and turned on the laptop. She was going shopping. James had just told her about an incredible online site where you could literally buy anything. So she wanted to test out the waters. Her first experiment took her into the book page where she searched for 'The Gates of Janus'. This was a treatise on the phenomena of serial killing written by an incarcerated serial killer in the UK. He wanted to die and was trying to starve himself to death, but the authorities weren't having any. They were keeping him alive with tubes directly linked to his blood stream. He wasn't happy, and even less so now that his female cohort had managed to kill herself with a smoking related disease. He now lived on the edge of madness due to his more than 20 year sojourn with solitude.

Next she popped into the equestrian page and looked up saddles. She found a google ad that directed her to a property for sale with beach riding and horses and cabins and everything. She rather fancied that and determined to go when next she was in the area. Her daughter, Candy Perfume Girl, lived nearby so it was more than possible. She wasn't really a girl for team sports but her brothers and sister were soccer fans. Julian toyed with the soccer link. Would the kids like a new ball, she wondered.

She settled on some nice, slightly imperfect with a touch of colour bleeding, soccer jerseys. The bleeding kept the price down although she still found them a touch expensive. She had written about soccer jerseys with one of her online freelance copywriting jobs and hadn't realised there was so much to know. She bought six. One for every member of the dysfunctional family.
