Handbags

I had some spare time on my hands this morning, and as as my lovely husband is off to China for 3 weeks on Monday, I decided to invest my time in preparing a 'handbag attack plan'.


I carefully chose several specimens of gorgeousness off the internet and compiled them in to an easy-to-navigate guide as to what I would like best, then printed it off on an A4 sheet so he can take it with him. It's supposed to be a great place for knock-offs you see and I have high hopes that he may comes back with something scrumptious for me, like a Chloe Betty.


It was when I proudly showed my efforts to my colleague and she looked up at me as if I were insane that I realised not all men would be willing to do that. And I might be the slightest bit obsessed in a not-good way about bags. It's true, I don't need a new one, I have one amazing one that I just take everywhere and several cheap/fun ones for special occasions. The thing is, I don't expect anything but if he gets there and is swamped by cheap gorgeous bags I want him to be prepared! Is that so wrong?


I spent my lunch hour feeling hot as I wore my big coat and it is a very warm sunny day. I got some library books out on China for Nick then went and tried on shoes for a wedding I'm going to oop north in April. I found the perfect pair that would go but as soon as I stood up in them they cut into my big toes like razors. Damn shoes.


We're off on holiday for 2 weeks in April, for one week touring around the UK then the second to spend with our friend Katy in Holland. It will be my fifth visit to Holland, but the first where I will have ventured further afield than the smoking dens of Amsterdam, heh heh. OK I did manage a few Art galleries the first time, and a canal boat cruise, but I'm British and it's an obligation to my Country to go there, get stoned and act like a dribbling moron, isn't it?

And another thing, has anyone heard of a Mexican Hat Spider? In my dream the other night it existed and it was a big fluffy black and white tarantula that looked him a Mexican hat when it curled its legs up underneath it. It was such a detailed dream that I can't believe I made it up entirely!!
