Saturday shopping

On Saturday we finally saw some relief in the warm weather. Clouds and quite humid, but no sunshine that burns everything to crisp. And like so many others I then decided to go shopping.

For along time I’ve been thinking about buying a Filofax. I’m still one of those people who keep a paper calendar along with the one in Outlook, but that one is only so the rest of the company can see if I’m in a meeting or not. I knew that I wanted a red (of course) Filofax, and going in and out of at least five different shops I finally found The One. A
cherry red pocket sized one in Italian leather. Just perfect and so very much me. The Filofax being real leather made it of course a bit expensive, but with my birthday coming up (tomorrow) I quickly decided that this was a present to myself. I’m so good at coming up with excuses why I should buy things…

On my way home I passed shoe shop with a big sale going on. An opportunity no one can miss... And surprise, surprise, or maybe not, I ended buying a new pair of slip on deck shoes. I can’t live with out my deck shoes during the summer. Not that I sail that much any longer, but just because they are the most comfortable shoes to be found. Especially when they are real worn in and fit your foot like a glove. My old ones are more or less starting to fall a part after five or maybe six years, so I really needed new ones. Another great excuse…
