I don’t really enjoy shopping, especially for clothes. You guessed it, today we were shopping for clothes.
We drove in to The Fort on the outskirts of Glasgow. I admit that my trousers and sweatshirts are getting worse for wear. Some have holes in them, but that simply gives them character, I think. Some are stained, but again, that increases their ‘lived in’ appearance, at least in my opinion they do. Alas, not in Scamp’s opinion. I came out of M&S with two new pairs of trousers, one pair will be going back, too big. Then I was enticed into NEXT and managed to please Scamp by finding a short sleeved shirt going for a song, and a blue tie which didn’t match the shirt, but just because I liked it. This shopping thing can be fun.
We had coffee and a cake in Tinderbox which is not a patch on the old Tinderbox that used to be in Buchanan Street in Glasgow. Watery coffee, but the Pastel de nata made up for it. Another book plus an interesting one added to my book list and we headed for home.
Back home I set to and cut out the fabric for a bow tie I’ve been promising to make for over a year now. I bought the fabric in Jersey last September and then got some interfacing in Dunfermline a month or so later. A photo of the composite became PoD. That was lucky, because the rain appeared just as I was starting the construction and looked like it was staying for the rest of he day, so no outside photography today.
We watched the Bake Off and were disappointed that the person who left just seemed to be having a bad day. Felt it was a pity.
Not a lot else to say about today. Scamp is intending to have her nails done tomorrow. I won’t have mine done, I might take my baggy trousers back instead.
