My Year of the Life of Leisure

I left my job, left my apartment, sold most everything in that apartment and embarked on a year of travelling and leisure. I am working on writing a couple of books. This might be one of them... But then, my chief pursuit is leisure, so who knows exactly what will happen.

Soldes: friend or foe

Soldes, for you non-French speakers, means "sale". Today, the crowds in the shops was heavier and there was a bit more of a battle-like feel amongst the shoppers. I shudder to think what it might be like on the weekend...

Today, the shopping booty was much smaller than yesterday. I did find a lovely ring and semi-matching earrings, which was nice. Though, they were unable to resize the ring to fit my ring finger, so I have to wear it on my middle finger. It's probably one of the larger rings I've ever purchased, so I think wearing it not on my ring finger will work fine for it.

My feet are reminding me that it's not necessarily a good thing to walk around for hours, two days straight, wearing sandals. I think I have a new blister on my left foot. Though, I think the sandals are more comfortable than my waiting-to-be-thrown-away-before-I-leave-London loafers. I bought the loafers in Glasgow, cheap, and they have served their purpose. And it will mean I there will be one less pair of shoes in my backpack, so I will have a little more space.

Now, time to read the Paris Vogue and Elle, and lust over clothing and jewelry that is outside of my current budget.
