White

This is what our back garden looks like today.
This is a rare sight for us, because the region where I live doesn't usually have this much snow. We get rain.
I had to go out this morning to run some errands and I found it really uncomfortable wearing my contact lenses. I have astigmatism. This combined with the heater on all day makes for really dry eyes. As I mentioned in my previous post: I really don't like snow!
The weather service broadcast more snow for tomorrow, which will turn into rain later this week. That's fine by me!

Summertime - T-shirt time

The other day I was looking round our gaggle of shops in search of a plain, white T-shirt.
When I was still a city girl I'd rush down to the nearest 'Theory' boutique in my lunch-break an grab one for 80 $.
These days I'm a bit more frugal when it comes to spending money - especially when it's only a white T-shirt. But would you believe? A plain, white T-shirt is about as difficult to find around here as a dropped contact lens on a carpet. I thought I'd found one in the local fashion store, but when I turned it over it had big, black, flock-printed angel wings on its back! Another one had 'DOWN & OUT' in fat capitals splashed across the front! Ridiculous.
So, after another fifteen minutes of half-heartedly flicking through the clothes, I did what any sensible girl living in the country would do. I bought one off the internet.

So, how about you? What's your favourite mode of shopping? Local or internet?
