Alexandra
Inspired by Heidi’s voyage beneath her bed I have ventured into the depths of my handbag. I say handbag. It is more of a bodybag.
The contents were as follows:
Three tea bags
Two sachets of inferior brand instant hot chocolate
One black corset dress, stain to the skirt region
One broken pearl necklace
One pair stripey tights
One copy Swinburne’s poems
One copy Phillip Aries - The Hour of Our Death (very heavy that)
One expired tea light
One pair o’knickers
One phial red glitter
Three lipsticks: bright red, dark red and rank brown with attendant whiff
Two notebooks
One hemmed ‘kerchief
Four black tulips badges
One sachet of barbeque sauce
One tin of safety pins
One small heart shaped cookie cutter
A small toad called Geoffrey whom I saved from certain death at the wheels of a 4x4 and now refuses to leave my bag.
Geoffrey’s boyfriend Malcolm.
Reading:
William Faulkner - The Sound and the Fury
Wilkie Collins – The Moonstone
Watching:
Inspector Morse
While You Were Sleeping
Neighbours
Several Tulips eating goat curry at the amusingly titled Cummin Up restaurant.
Dancing:
to Fat Sam’s Grand Slam. Now that’s a song.
