Coffee with Suze
On my way to meet Suze for our regular catch up/gossip, I couldn’t help myself and decided to take a small detour into the local arcade, near our favourite coffee house. Although I love spending (Mike can vouch for that) I’m a pretty flustered shopper at the best of times, particularly when trying to find something to fit properly- trousers and jackets are the worst.
People assume that just because you are tall things hang better but I wish I could fit into the “standard” sized things on the high street, it would be so much easier! I have a love/hate relationship with shopping. When I’m in the mood I love just perusing the racks, brushing aside unwanted sale items and pondering the possibility of stumbling across a shiny treasure. Although other times I just want to collapse at the mere thought of a brutally attacked sale rail.
After trawling the shops with no luck in a world of 32” legs and lacy leggings, I had almost given up until I came across my treasure- A gorgeous, sixties, navy blue, suede handbag with a huge silver clasp from a small stall at the local vintage fair. I love it and it’s virtually never been used, although it does smell a tad musty inside! Realising the time (Time flies when your shopping- doesn’t it?) I headed to Gianni’s to meet Suze only 40 min’s late but I figured when she saw my swish new bag she’d understand.
Two Caramel Frappacino’s later and a few minutes of scowling by Suze she decided she didn’t want to be left out and wanted something new too, she hasn’t bought anything new since having the twins. I didn’t think I could take another moment of shopping, good job I wore flats today- Oh well, here we go again!
