Retail Therapy

Women are supposed to like shopping but not me. However eventually the wardrobe becomes so wanting that I have to make an effort.
There is a fire inspection I need to be here for at our unit between 7am and 8:30 in the  morning so I came down by train and stopped in the city before continuing on to Cammeray.

I didn't get off to a good start when my Opal Card wouldn't scan at Blackheath. Apparently the auto top up had turned off! I didn't have time to log on and fix it before the train arrived but had by Katoomba so I hopped off very quickly, scanned, and back on again. With an hour between trains I didn't want to wait for the next, or cop a big fine for not paying.

Then I found that basic items such as warm singlets and skivvies, which I live in, are no longer to be found in city stores. I did manage, with help from a lovely shop assistant, to purchase a couple of pairs of jeans - my other staple.
When we were in Melbourne recently I felt that there were less people about than in the centre of Sydney. That was confirmed today. 
I was very glad, lugging a backpack with my shopping and winter clothes, which I needed to peel off, to finally arrive at my destination.
Tonight I've managed to order the skivvies and singlets online so the day has ended more successfully.
