The luck of the vague

    Because I have a seemingly ongoing case of PartyPie brain, I forgot to go into work yesterday and pick up a file I need to work on at home. Well. I forgot until we got to Dandenong just on rush hour, and the thought of driving back to Hampton was just too dire. M was my driving companion on our computer excursion yesterday, and he chauffered me into work today, and I gratefully offered to take him to the French bakery in Black Rock and ply him with non-Tooradin coffee and croissants. (In the event, he had a croissant and was so enamoured with my truly sublime escargot, that he got one for himself - a far safer option than trying to snaffle more from me.)

    The reward for my vagueness? A foray into the op-shop near my work. An op-shop that has offered me little of late, athough it does have a lot of stuff for guys who are willing to search with intent (i.e. not many, and definitely not M). However. I walked in, saw the shoe section, and there they were. The t-bar style Doc Martens that I’ve coveted for years, but never had. For FIVE DOLLARS. Thank you. Mine.

    $5 Docs - my op-shop score of the week

    [They’re cherry - this pic was taken with my phone. Apologies for quality etc. etc.]

Fabbo on the Docs! I got my first pair of 10 up cherry docs from an op shop for $15. Your bargain is better!!

RE Vagueness… it gets worse :) Enjoy it while you have the excuse - I still use it!
