On shopping and cats
Jan. 29th, 2007 12:10 pmYesterday, I went shopping and actually enjoyed myself.
According to my past experience, this should surely mean that the world is about to end. Quite soon in fact.
Not once did I experience the urge to mercilessly slaughter those around me. Not once did I develop a headache simply from stepping into a store. Not once did I lapse into speaking in sullen monotone.
It’s all a bit disturbing, really. Mind you, it helped that I was with the Bindi (ye olde sister-in-law) at the time. She’s a fun person to spend time with, even if she does have a tendency to encourage you to buy everything in which you express the slightest interest. But I came out of it with a new bag (which is absolutley perfect! I’d ramble on about it but I’d surely only end up worrying everyone about my obsession with bags...) and a lovely stripy quilt cover set. Not to mention a European pillow which turns out to be very good for sprawling over whilst reading manga.
Of course, Pickle thinks I bought the pillow for her to sleep upon and promptly set about doing so once I’d finished my reading.
And since the good
linnet_101 happened to mention the other day that I haven’t posted any pictures of Pickle lately, this seems the perfect time to do so.
Here she is, modelling her new “bed” whilst my new stripy quilt cover provides a lovely background.
’Tis the last day of my holidays today, too. I’m not sure how they managed to fly by so quickly.
