Yeah I live in cold old Germany Where people would seriously riot if there was something like open shops on Sundays… you have to remember that the leading party here are the christian democrats… sigh

I was wondering where you lived Nina, I take Sunday shopping for granted. I can remember when Sunday shopping was first introduced here in New Zealand (sometime in the 90's if I remember right) - some saw it as a sign of the total downfall of society, apparently we were all going to hell in a handbasket! .-= Selina´s last blog ..Today's nail: Color Club Fast Woman =-.

Wow! Am really jealous right now. In Germany (almost) all the shops are closed on Sundays... .-= Nina´s last blog ..Secondary translation: you’re doin’ it wrong! =-.

Oh wow, my dog, a standard schnauzer does this too… the incessant whining. At cornerstores if I ever go in for something, she just goes nuts, yowling and screaming angrily, she makes me look like the worst pet owner in the world. I am so jealous of those calm golden retrievers that sit there happily and smile. On the bright side, I guess no one would kidnap her or I'd notice right away.. and who would want to? But when we go CAMPING? OH, it is awful. In the house, she's fine, but camping means we're Outside, so she assumes we are supposed to be playing all day long. Every time someone goes in to ask for directions, or pay a fee, she whines. If we are cooking food, she whines, or setting up a tent, etc… Until she is tucked in to sleep, she will not cease. She is like a baby that always needs to be bounced on the knee. If you are not somehow petting her, she gets bored and starts up. It's easy to call it seperation anxiety or whatever else, but that doesn't make it any easier to live with, and I doubt it is fixable. Some dogs are just born that way. Sigh… At least she doesn't pee in the house, ouch!

The curls were kind of a disaster – I bought a curling iron, but I think the barrel was too small, so I ended up looking a bit like Orphan Annie! I had to tie it back in the end because … yeah.

Love the thought of you carrying your Rubin clutch around the garden, that will keep me smiling all day! We have a child gate across the bottom of our stairs to stop the dogs going upstairs because if they do manage to get up there they bark at the cats and also eat cat poo out of the kitty litter box. They. Eat. Cat. Poo. .-= Selina´s last blog ..Today's nail and also yesterday's nail =-.

You can borrow him if you like?

As for shoes: less than you would think, probably. I have quite regular clearouts and the ones I don't wear go on eBay or to the charity shop (or get binned if they're too unwearable!).

Closed? No, all of the shops here are open seven days per week, athough some have slightly shorter opening hours on Sundays. Businesses close at the weekend – like banks, building societies etc – but retailers are open. I would imagine it's one of their busiest days, as Saturday and Sunday are when most people are off from work.

Hm one thing I'm wondering about... How can you buy shoes on a Sunday? Aren't all shops closed on Sundays? .-= Nina´s last blog ..Today, I am happy =-.

I hate gardening too – methinks a Rubin would make it much more enjoyable though.

And I'm almost scared to ask – just how many pairs of shoes do you own?
