So it was rather comical when Christer went to the dentist, when he had first moved here, and the hygienist asks him if his wife is a shopper. Ha ha. And if Christer ever became concerned about what might happen when wife arrives in shoppers paradise, I think that concern did not last very long. In fact, since moving here, I have realized that I have become quite averse to shopping.
But sometimes I need new piece of clothing or shoes. Things become worn out or are made of bad quality and do not last as long as I wish they would.
For example, the last time that I bought a pair of winter boots, was when I was living in Sweden. These boots were quite expensive, but I have now had them for nine years. And I love them. They are as comfortable as socks on my feet. However, I have had them mended a couple of times and I fear that they won't last forever. Therefore, I have decided that I need a back-up plan. That is easier said than done though; buying a new pair of boots when I already have the perfect ones.
But last week, when I was out with my daughter, I just stumbled upon a pair of boots that I liked. At least as a back-up plan. And even if shopping is not my cup of tea, guess what? They were only $25.
