Shopping, Dropping

I love shopping. Years ago I had the good fortune
to be able to write about this esoteric art in one
of our local Dublin newspapers. Ever so often I take
out some of the very yellowed clippings and read them,
just to make myself laugh. The people I met then were
really interesting, practical and able to multi-task.
They may have been running shops, businesses, craft centres,
but they also had lively and varied lives. For a while we
all net-worked and kept the show on the road.

Today's trip to the shops involved choosing a new
lipstick. It's that time of year...
