The Lair of the Emerald Serpent

Izzie had a couple of grand plans to celebrate the second Black Friday of the year. Before tossing the junk mail, noticed that a certain cheap and cheerful chain store had the last Potter movie on sale for $9 and the three books in The Hunger Games series for $12 each. Already ordered the second one from the local library so it would be nice to get the first one for that price. But in the end, after the decadent indulgence in the Scrooge book (which also has lots of reservations in the local libraries) decided to make that the lucky new book of the day and not to waste a gorgeous sunny Friday 13th going off the beaten track to go to some nasty monstrous carbuncle of a shopping centre. Now that it is the school holidays, such places would be infested with squealing rampaging beasties.

Friday 13th included the usual things like coffee crawls, a visit to The Juicy Beetroot and sunset at the beach. But there was going to be something a little bit different and decadent this time
