I didn't mention that yesterday , out of curiosity, we entered a shop called Comptoir irlandais (Irish Outlet). At the back, there was a display of alcohol and alcoholic products, imported from Ireland of course. Roger saw bottles of his favorite whiskey, Glenfiddich, and 21-year Glenfiddich at that. Since we were only starting, we decided to wait until we were on the way back. Along the way, we meet another specialty store. We enter, just to check if they have some older bottles (there's a 30-year Glenfiddich), or a better price. The young salesman looks down on us. Glenfiddich? Oh, we don't carry Glenfiddich, it's not good. A classic case of bad salesmanship. Insulting Customers 101.
Meanwhile, in our wanderings, I stumbled upon a display of lingerie, oh gorgeous lingerie. Françoise sees me looking longingly and asks if I want to go into the store. I say no, I bought some before we left, I have to be more reasonable.
On our way back to the car, we buy two bottles of Glenfiddich. It is not exactly cheap, eh. But it's good.
Last night, Francoise, the nasty nasty woman, shows me some lingerie sets she bought from a neighbor. A-ra-do-able. And finally, relatively affordable, given their originality and quality. And this morning, the neighbor comes to visit. And I yielded to temptation, I confess, and bought two sets. Think bra and panties for the price of one Chantelle bra. Not cheap but very nice. Except that it is not made by Chantel but Allande.
No, I won't show those on the blog. Really!!
So much for the budget. We'll eat PB&J sandwiches this summer.
Show? I think you should MODEL them on the blog ;-)
