Random Thought for the Day.

I spent the afternoon at my favorite shopping center today and found myself trying on a couple of outfits. What on earth do they do to the lights and mirrors in store changing rooms? I want to know – the image that reflects back in the mirror… Oy! Scary stuff. I’m sure that wasn’t me! Was it?

I’m heading straight back to the writing cave now, but on Friday I’m going to have a special day all about kisses with the odd random prize or two. I hope you have a chance to visit.

I’ve added a couple of articles to my For Readers page including a photo essay for Never Send a Dog to do a Woman’s Job and also an article about the real Ellora’s Cave.

Okay, I fibbed. I’m going to have a cup of tea and a Timtam first and then hit the writing cave. Middlemarch calls…

    I hate trying on clothes in the store. I like to buy the items and then try them on at home. If I don’t like them, then I return them. I love great return policies.

    Good idea, Jane. You don’t get “over-helpful” assistants barging in when you’re at home!

    Have fun in the cave. I’m in there … but I have to ask what is a timtam? :)

    A timtam is a chocolate biscuit. It has two biscuits with a chocolate filling and then the entire biscuit is covered in chocolate. Very yummy, and an Australian invention. Timtam has wonderful ads with lovely eyecandy. The woman in the ad always sends the eyecandy away and keeps the Timtams. I’m not quite sure I agree with her thinking but there you go!

    I never try on items in a dressing room. I don’t like anyone standing outside the room trying to be helpful.
    I love most stores return policies.

    My thinking exactly, Christina. That genie is tall, he’s dark and very cute. Rocks in her head…
