Red The Colour of shoes, life, joy and the young man on the till

Yesterday's London trip brought forth a pair of flat, red flowered, silky shoes from Jones the Bootmakers. I flipped when I saw them because they are similar in design to my slippers, which although lush were bought in a cut price shop on an industrial estate.
These divine shoes from Jones make me want to skip, float and generally take on an ethereal air. Which I of course did.


Also bought yesterday for a few shillings was a stone/chocolate mock croc glistening handbag, it's puffy and squidgy and has enough room for all my ladies stuff.

Going up the road we found a Y.M.C.A shop. Happy/No Happy.
Prices absolutely ridiculous. I.E. £22:99 for a well used Bally bag. So after reeling from that price tag I wandered around in the vain hope I might find something in the dump bin...
On the top of a pile of chick lit was The Giant Book of Ghost Stories, edited by Richard Dalby, pub 1993.
Ok a bit over priced at £2 but it drew me in with such names as Dickens, Chetwynd-Hayes and M.R. James. I bought it and on the chilly ride home read three stories...A friend forever.

The London Lovelies were ok, they fed me chilli, profiteroles and a Tunnock's Snowball.

Today I wore my 'new' red jacket to go to Sainsbury's and with the stiff red collar pulled up around my silvery hair I looked a little imposing so much so that the lovely man cashier flushed as his hand brushed mine whilst taking my tenner... He did too flush maybe it was my words.. all I said was " Never again shall I wash that hand"

Cooking today:
Pizza, jacket potatoes and a medley of veggies.
For pud sticky caramelly bananas.
