List 1: Things I bought at the flea market today

- A coat. Not quite warm enough for the depths of winter (I have to keep looking for one of those) but excellent, I would say, for the period leading up to it. ie: Now. As soon as I get it some buttons.

- A pink scarf and a red scarf. I had none in my suitcase and the cold today was making this important.

- A white wooly hat, kind've like a bulky, square, beany. See above re. reasons to buy. It looked good when the sweet-talking guy waved a mirror at me for a split second but didn’t look good when I put it on again at home.

- A red wallet. Sold to me by the sweet-talking guy on the basis that it matched my sunglasses.

- A kind've partly floppy partly fitted T-shirt that looks a bit 'fame academy' with what at first looks like the Puma logo on it but then you look closer and it says ‘Punk’. The girl said it was designer clothing she bought in Spain and she went to show me the designer label, only to her surprise she must have removed it.

- A silk and cashmere jumper that feels LOVELY when you put it on.

- My name in metal printing press letters.

- A book called 'Indecision.'

Now you can try guessing which were the silly purchases and which were the sensible ones... It seems hard to manage the sensible without the silly with flea market shopping.

there's a button-only shop, worth a visit even if you don't need buttons. and you do.
