ramtops has reported, we went to Bath by trainbus on Saturday with kalunina, and after a small delay (we were going to drive to the station in the Xantia, but some local scrote had smashed off the driver's side door mirror, so we had to decamp to the Pajero), largely to perpetrate worship at the altars of consumption.
Orvis, in the first instance, asramtops wanted to try on a skirt there. That proved unsatisfactory, as did sundry hats, but I at least found a shirt I liked...
After lunch, we split up as I have this psychic disjunction with the inspection and purchase of shoes (and bags). I needed new cargo trousers anyhow, as some of my older ones are getting ratty even by my fairly flexible standards, oh, and a new wallet as my previous one acquired a degree of pungency after one of the sweet, cute little darlings that allow us to share their house pissed on my trousers by the bed one night last week.
Two pairs of trousers and a wallet later, I spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around with my camera.
We all met up at the station and bussed it back to Temple Meads, exiting as we entered via the catacombs that lurk beneath.
On Sunday, we did it all again! OMGWTFBBQ!!! Except in Broadmead this time.ramtops had clothes to return and exchange; I had another pair of trousers to buy from M&S as Bath didn't have my size (neither, as it turned out, did Broadmead - but they only failed on inside leg, so I could try them on at least, and order the right ones).
That done, I had a nasty accident in Waterstones: I only dropped in to buy the new Alan Bennett book as an early unbirthday present forramtops, but I got mugged by 3for2 and, since it was there, picked up the hardback of autopope's last opus to add to my ever growing to-read heap.
Thence with camera to the Bristol flickralley before meeting up again withramtops and kalunina at the Galleries and home.
Altogether too much Out for one weekend, I think, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Not something to do too often, though.
