I came into some money today so I went shopping (clothes/shoes/accessories type shopping). After about ten minutes I realised my heart wasn't in it, tried for another ten and then gave up. Once I went to the bookshop though, I perked right up. And in the kitchen section in Rackhams. I have noticed this as a bit of a trend in me lately. I don't get too excited about having loads of new nice clothes any more. Kitchenware on the other hand, somebody stop me.... I am having wonderful dreams about the day I can buy a Jamie pan set, a set of global knives and my own Gaggia coffee machine... when I can afford to buy fresh food for every meal and I'm not subjected to the constraints of the weekly shop to try to please everyone. As for the bookshop. My favourite floor is the third because it has travel and cookbooks. Annoyingly it also has childrens, but we can't have everything can we. I also like the ground floor because I like fiction too. I have bought lots from the 'cult' section (because I like to look cool when reading on the train). Today I bought The Hairy Bikers cookbook (the second one) - I love them, they are great. I was convinced to get it when they made moules frites in Bruges last week. I am going to go to Bruges on the channel tunnel soon. I have wanted to go for ages and now I've been properly convinced by the seafood, the beer, the chocolate, the buildings, the waterways. Not sure why I haven't been yet, to be honest. So I will do that in June sometime. Maybe in May if I can get the money together.

Back to where I started anyway, I am quite glad that I am not as bad with shopping as I used to be. Maybe I was just having an off day but I don't think so, I haven't been 'on it' for some time. Maybe I am - dare I say it - growing up? No, that can't be it.
