Retail therapy

Shopping, shopping and more shopping. Once again I was overwhelmed with urge to buy something, in fact to buy anything, so that's what I did. The ten pairs of glasses I already have just didn't seem enough as I was strangely drawn towards the Alain Mikli shop, once inside I was totally incapable of leaving without buying a new pair of glasses. I have strange attraction to Philippe Starcks design and have picked up one or two things of his along the way. At last I discovered he has designed a pair of glasses I like! Previous designs have never been quite my cup of tea, so with these it just came down to which colour, and sadly, being a 'bloke' I opted for blue, with a little bit if nudging by the sales assistant.

So armed with my new vision I was able to do some more shopping, which consisted of a new pair of shoes (Timberland soft and comfy ones), Marks and Spencers range of not so sexy underwear (functional full support being the aim of these ones) and a big bag of DVD's (for the dull moments in my weekends). I failed to actually buy anything I need, but I did get to feel a warm rosey glow of satisfaction, which I tired to take further in order to cover up the feeling of guilt.

So things are all back to normal and I must get back to focusing on my diet and reducing my 10 gallon beer belly to a 5 gallon one .. and consider if I need a different colour of Starck Eyes, as I was was also lusting over the silver grey ones ..... we'll just have to see
