SUPERMOON

Late last night Wilson went out into the garden to observe the Supermoon — apparently the moon would be closer to the Earth, and appear brighter and bigger, than at any time since 1948. 

This is not the sort of event W likes to miss so, equipped with a mug of hot chocolate (with extra marshmallows) and a lantern he went outside to observe this lunar phenomenon.

When he came back inside I enquired, 'So how was the moon — was it super?'

'Hmmm...' he replied, 'It was okay, but I think "super" would be to overstate it, honestly.'

Collapsing onto the sofa, he continued, 'But while I was out there, in the dark, contemplating this disappointing extraterrestrial occurrence, I had an idea!'

My heart sank a tiny bit at this news, but I did my best to control my features.

'I shall re-launch my range of "ODDSIES!" Non-Matching Socks, but this time in a limited "Pro HD" edition! I'll do it In time for the Xmas shopping bonanza.'

I have no idea what HD socks are, and I'm not about to ask — I shall doubtless find out in the fullness of time...
