Shopping with MrM

MrM is not into Retail Therapy.

His birthday treat to me was to walk around the shops of Dublin

and attempt to look interested.

He smiled wanly when shown shoes

and agreed in a mystified way that

Thinning Hair Must be Miserable.

I really appreciated this

because he would normally bite off his right arm

rather than waste time looking at clothes.

He was doing it because he wanted me to be happy.

I realised that he was a bit out of his depth

in the Kitchen Department of Brown Thomas

when he said in awed tones

"What IS it?"

(It's an ironing board, MrM)

So we hurried along to a nearby bookshop

for Rest and Recuperation.

And then checked out the opportunities

for buying keyrings with grass in.

MrM was impressed.

When he had recovered from the stresses
of the modern Retail Environment
we went to The Silver Shop in the Powerscourt Centre
to choose my birthday present.

Luckily, I saw what I wanted immediately.

Thank you MrM
