Christmas shopping!


A funeral cancelled my the afternoon's focus group yesterday, so I went into town to have lunch with a friend and spend the afternoon Christmas shopping. Kind of fun! We went to The Blue Heron, a leisurely cafe-boutique housed in an stately 1950s bungalow and pretty much overflowing with pretty things made locally.
I don't know many shop-owners, so I get a small kick out of the fact that I know this one from school. Though I was pretty much constantly intimidated by her in those IB days, since she looked like Claudia Schiffer and was brilliant at everything I was not. I think we all knew someone like that in school! Anyway, it was fun to see this beautiful shop she's made. Also my old classmate N. helps out there when she's not busy partying or dealing her Tanzanites - she's this incredibly vivacious Goan girl and it was fun to see her with her smile just as wide and her nails as long as they were in school.
