The early bird gets the fortune

I haven't been to a fortune teller since I was 18 down the Barras in Glasgow. I remember she was really good and told me a few things that have came true. Recently I had heard about a Gypsy who is based in the town and has been telling fortunes since she was 11. She doesn't give you an appointment though. It is strictly first come first served. I was told I should expect to go at 8 o'clock in the morning for the centre opening at 9am. I got the next Friday off and I really tried to get up early but I got there at about 8.45am and there was at least ten women in front of me. When the centre opened everyone headed in the same direction, except a couple who tried to beat the rest by taking a shortcut but were abruptly stopped by the gypsy friend/minder who told them to go to the end of the queue. Once we had all excitedly got into the waiting room, he began to ask who was first outside and what time did they get there. One girl piped up that she had been there from 7.30am. Unbelievable I thought! She was first obviously and yes you've guessed it I was last.The nice man then began to tell us that Kizzy, the Gypsy, could take anytime between 20 mins and 1 hour to read a fortune. She would hold your hand and look deep into your eyes and predict whatever she could get from you. That meant I would probably be there waiting until 5pm that night or not even be seen at all. I was extremely disappointed to have to leave it for another day. But I learned a valuable lesson and I'll be there next time at 7am with a flask of tea and a good book. I'll keep you posted!
