To Mum's. I wore my blue nylon skirt.
I took the early coach. The coach was full and I took the last available seat: the one that nobody else wanted: the one in the back row facing right down the aisle. Fortunately the journey was a safe one! The coach out of London was, as expected, less crowded.
In the city centre, the first stop was a vintage clothes shop. I arrived at 3:20. Just as well that I went there first. The owner was about to shut up shop for Christmas! She had no skirts of the sort I was after, though. I browsed a part of the city where there are some nice clothes shops... or were. Some remain but some are gone, now.
In WHS I found Talk to the Hand! I took this and a pack of WHS adhesive (white stuff like Blu-tac, which Mum had asked me to buy) to the cash desk in the book department. To pay for the book, I handed over the £10 book token I had intended for S-J. The cashier insisted in giving my change in the form of a WHS gift card. At least I could pay for the tack with the gift card, leaving a relatively trivial £1.02 on that gift card. (How complex!)
