I popped along to La Boqueria this morning to get my pick of the market's unrivalled wild mushroom selection. I thought I might get some duck eggs, too.

I'm back several hours later with three dressy tops and a tartan scarf for my upcoming business trip to Edinburgh, make-up and a secondhand books haul of Maria McCann's As Meat Loves Salt, War and Peace and The Catalans by Patrick O'Brian. Thriftiness: I need to learn it. *Snuggles materialism*

Thriftiness?

What's that? I don't know that I've ever heard that word. LOL

I know what you mean. I leave the house for three things and come back loaded down with bags like its Christmastime. I'm with you on snuggling materalism.

Actually, I do my best to be thrifty without being stingy the majority of the time so when I do have those moments, I feel little guilt about them. At least you'll get great use out of all your purchases.

I hope you enjoy Edinburgh. I'll wave as you shoot up England on the train!

By the way, I am just in receipt of 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman. Reviews praise it as the best thing he's written. I'll read it over half-term holiday. Have you heard of it?

I hope you like the McCann book. It's one of the better books I've read this year.
