In Which Shopping Tolerance Limits Are Tested Again
Went up to not-quite-Manc so I could finally get my clarinet fixed, and after, went to John Lewis, that fun family expedition for all. Was just me, mum, and nan; and it got very a near a point called bra shopping, which is somehow still embarrassing.
Anyway, after n years at the kitchenwear section, I saw the mugs. There was a periodic table mug, omg. Mum's like, "you don't even like chem, you can't want that". Nan's like "ooh, she does get excited about the weirdest things". I think mugs are my new thing; I'm very possessive of my whatisprobsconsiderableacollection, spanning my forever friends mug [a gift from Mag], my Cam mug, my IH mug [there are two, but I'm nice and sharey], my it-highly-resembles-a-lemon mug [recent gift from nan], and now this.
Oh my holy cheese, if I had been sitting on a chair, I would have fallen off. There at the height of my very eyeline was this:
It has pi on it. And it is a men's fragrance. How unfair is that?!?!? I tried it anyway, it's not overtly masculine, but still, I don't know if I can get away with it.
The ensuing disappointment reminded me of the first time I saw this so-near-and-yet-so-far offering:
What are these perfume creators thinking? Where is the target market for males interested in pi yielding objects?! And who in prune cares about the number 212?*
* thinking about it, Ben's birthday is 2nd Dec, but thats not the point!
I consoled myself with the periodic table mug [only £10] and we went home.
