shopkeepers rejoice, the shopaholic is on the move!.......

tonight i went to one of my favourite shops in b'lore, its like a little treasure trove of things and as soon as i enter the door i go into a trance of trying to buy as much as i possibly can! when i went tonight i hadnt been for a while, the woman looked up from her little stool and just beamed at me, her eyes glistened with rupee signs! she knows a mug when she sees one! she started to chat to me and said that she'd been thinking of me recently wondering where i was cos i was one of her best customers! hmm! thats right compliment me and ill spend more, im a shopkeepers dream! when im browsing the little shop every step i take leads me to something that i never knew i needed, but if i left without it i would miss it! After only about 30-45min there i left with a newspaper carrier bag filled with overpriced stuff that will fall apart within about 2 days! chuh!

Phew!
You made that lucky girl's year (not day / week / month)! Poor she, just might close the shop when you are back to UK in August.

Hope you bought at least something that you would be able to take back with you that is if it doesn't fall apart! ;-)

A cool idea... take a picture with her in her shop and even if nothing survived till then, you can always carry that picture as a memorial of all this shopping! Hehe!! :-D

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we&#

Ladies what #ldnlunch

After a few deep breaths I plucked up the courage to walk into the Jetlag bar in Fitzrovia & meet some fellow blogging lovelies. I'd first heard about Ldnlunch On Eloise's blog . I'd always wanted to go to a blogger meet so I put my name down straight away. I was a bit nervous when I realised there were about 40 other girls going who's blogs were mainly about fashion, whereas mine is just random ramblings from inside my brain box but decided I'd still go seeing as I had nothing to lose! I arrived expecting to be early but there were already lots of people sitting down for drinks & food so I grabbed a drink & perched on a pooffe. I just ordered a bowl of chips (how adventurous!) but I did pick off the plates around me (yoink! Thanks Lois! ). There were mixed responses to the rather tentacle-y calamari (I have some hilarious snaps of Jazzy eating the tentacles but I'm here to make friends not enemies so those will be shared between the 2 of us &am

Londoners pt1

Image
For Chrimbo Adam gave me a book called "Londoners. The days & nights of London now - as told by those who love it, hate it, live it, left it & long for it" by Craig Taylor. After reading the introduction & before reading any more I decided I'd think about what London & being a Londoner means to me. Even though I picked out bullet points I still got a bit carried away so I'll spread it over a few posts so here goes part 1, I'll start with the one thing that I think of straight away when someone says London to me: ~ the tube is a huge part of London life. It's about sitting on a train for an hour & not knowing what any one's face looks like only their shoes, panic attacks when the train gets stuck in a tunnel without explanation, keeping left, standing on the right spot on a platform so you'll be in front of the doors when they open & also so when you get off you'll be at the exit to the station - even if that exit says no ent
