Ode to my purse
Aline writes: OK, this isn't actually an ode, but I just have to rave (in the sense of to speak or write with wild enthusiasm) about my purse.
As some of you know, when I bought this last year, I was attracted by its cheerful color and pleasing shape. What I didn't know was just how practical it would be here in England. It has one of the best inventions of the modern purse, a cell phone pocket. But it can also hold 2 pairs of glasses, wallet, brush, odds and ends, iPod and headphones, London map book, and an umbrella.
And I can even add a bottle of water (strongly recommended on hot days in case you get trapped on the Underground. Seriously. Last week people got stuck on a train for 2 hours and the temperature in the car got up to 115 degrees - they broke the windows to escape! But I digress...
Some of you doubters out there may believe that I couldn't possible close it. But here is the proof.
Finally, it is the perfect pillow in the park or on the beach (here at Brighton):
I feel sorry for all those men who don't or won't use this most wonderful invention.
Bill adds: Hey, I would. Well, if it came in black. And had a padded adjustable shoulder strap. And a utility loop for a canteen and a compass. Now that would be manly.
