Attempting to shop
I made a new blanket:
In order to counteract such frugal* and sensible tendencies, and on account of a) my horse keeps eating my handbag and b) I racked up three extra days of work over Christmas, I also went shopping, and ended up with one of these:
(in 'slate', which is a sort of purpley grey.)
I also saw a lovely jumper in the window of The White Company, except closer inspection showed it was £120 (it wasn't even made from unicorn hair or anything, just regular wool!), and failed to see anything I liked at all in Hobbs, which is very unusual for me: they usually have lots of things that I like but can see no occasion on which I would wear. I also looked in a few other high-ish (as far as Bluewater goes) clothes shops, and came away generally disheartened: I saw a couple of frocks that I like, but no trouser outfits, which is what I actually want for, eg, the upcoming family trip to Dublin Horse Fair (nominally Mike's birthday bash).
If I'd known that Nitya was going to vanish from the face of the planet, I'd have stocked up on their lovely outfits. (If enough people had stocked up on their lovely outfits, one presumes, there would have been no vanishing going on.) Don't suppose anyone has suggestions for places I might look, do they?
* Ha, ha. That would be three and a half skeins of yarn, at £13 a pop.
