Shop Ahoy

A successful shopping trip.
Four pairs of cropped trousers, which is not excessive as I need back up should I bend over too far and split a pair. Yes, that really does happen. For those of you that have never experienced this, you are obviously under 40. At 40 they wrongly tell you that everything on heads South. It actually goes East and West.
I was out and back home again in just over an hour. I would have stayed longer but those lovely new black wedges I bought which look great, began to gouge out the skin on my feet. I used to gaze in awe as a child at my mum, who would tower above me in her graceful shoes with heels that went up and up forever. I’d ask her how she could walk in them and she’s reply knowingly that “pride would pinch.” I didn’t know what she meant as a child but I do now. She’s just come out hospital with four pins in her toes which the surgeon deliberately broke in an attempt to straighten them and had a bunion the size of La Concha removed. Pride will pinch indeed. Not as much as those pins mum….Bless her cotton socks and hospital bandages.
So don’t go out shopping in high heels. Another word of warning. If you are going out to buy clothes don’t go out in one of those floaty tops with an inbuilt camisole. You will get in a right muddle and then just as you realise you are wearing it back to front, inside out and the floaty arm part is doing its bit flapping without your arm inside, the sales assistant will barge in pulling the curtain open. Apologies if you were in Promod this morning and heard me screaming….
So a good shopping trip. Trousers that all look the same and white t-shirts that are the same. Dorothy Perkins had a buy 3 for 12 euros offer. It didn’t say you couldn’t buy them all in white.
On the way out of La Canada I once again noticed women in green medical tunics. I used to think that there was a medical centre nearby and they were just on an extended coffee break. I now think that perhaps they are there to rescue women stuck in their floaty tops, with their arms pinned down by their camisole straps or to assist stumbling women wearing heels that defy gravity and good sense.
Wonder if they would help me carry my bags…
