Went shoe shopping with the wizard today because he's in a mood. Sadly we found the perfect shoes, just not in our size. What a pity. He's alternately bitchy and maudlin about the whole process. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

There is a street, hidden amongst all the traditional modern American ugliness of strip malls and shopping centers in the far northwest part of Austin. It's not very long, but there is a curve of road that is something from somewhere else. A double line of trees marches down the center, and there is grass and still more forest to the sides. The trees, which I think now might be pecan, are blooming in cottony white clouds. On a day like this, it is more beautiful than anything else.

I should like to just stay here.

Oh dear. I went shopping today as well. Fortunately though, I left the silly wizard at home. He tends to force the two of us into buying everything cashmere and/or silk. And, considering our financial situation, that's not so good.

I know just how you feel. Nothing worse than trying to explain to the wizard that I can't afford a silk dressing gown.

But I found the shoes he wanted on Ebay, so we're all much happier. ;)
