My quest to find “something nice”

Posted on May 16, 2012May 17, 2012 By admin

When I travel for work, sans Katy, I always try and bring her something nice back. The conversation I had by text with her today went something like this:

Katy: Got me anything nice?

Me: Does a kilo of iberico ham count?

Katy: Nope

Me: ok, I’ll keep an eye out, but the only thing I’m seeing so far is shoe shops and fashion for stick insects :(

— later —

Me: Hahaa! Success. Not only have I found somethink I think you’ll like, according to the female contingent here I have done very well. They seem rather surprised!

— EDIT —

I’m back home, and she’s seen it (and loved it), so I can say that I bought her a designer hand bag from Desigual:
