Håndtaske

The first thing I did today was repair the handbag I bought years ago in Covent Garden. I always take that bag with me when I go on short trips because it folds up small enough to fit in my handluggage when I'm not allowed to bring both a handbag and carry-on luggage on a flight, yet is big enough to hold all I need during the day. Last Tuesday I left for a 3-day trip to Copenhagen to visit my friend Marlene who moved back there after having lived in London for a number of years.

Unfortunately Marlene had to work during the day, but another friend of ours, Vanessa, was also visiting, so the two of us wandered around town to do some sightseeing and try all the wonderful food and drink Denmark has to offer. I even managed to squeeze in a visit to a little fabric shop we happened upon, and was very surprised to see that the fabrics they sold came mainly from Liberty's (most of which is not my style), and even though the Udsalg was on (50% off almost everything), I came out empty-handed.

During the 3 days I managed to completely wreck the zip of my little bag, and because I couldn't find a new bag I liked, I decided I'd have to repair the old one. Yeah, right. I almost had to take the whole bag apart before I could put the new zip in, and am not happy with the result, but it will have to do, I guess. Due to that project not going too well, I decided to leave my sewing machine alone for the rest of the day, and finish my book instead.
