But yesterday. Around noon I walked into the biggest store of its kind in the Czech Republic. Swarms of guys wearing black t-shirts, beards and sandals were crowded around the displays and I couldn't push by them without running into one or the other multi-pocketed bag. After taking to the less exciting corridors, I dug up a shop assistant reading manuals in a corner and cruelly interupted his reverie on the new Xyi8300 (at least I think that's what it was). Putting his latest dream down, he reluctantly showed me the top two models in my price range.
Ten minutes later, I was on the phone to my business partner. Twenty minutes, and I walked out of the store with a grin even the jaded shop assistant could understand.
And then the fun began.

Fruit dumplings? I want to go to kindergarten camp!!
He is so cute!
Tithadshi!
That means in Hebrew literally "May you be renewed," but it's used whenever anyone purchases a special new item...meaning really..."May you use it with joy and find your life better for it."
Anything that can capture James' eyelashes like that is a very very good purchase. Do people stop you on the street just to touch his hair?
P.S. C is leading a charmed life, sounds like Fairytale Camp.
I might have made a similar purchase recently myself. An upgrade to the old DSLR.
Oh yeah!
Were you in your hiking boots then?
Here via 'Works well'.
Your little boy looks like a Renaissance cherub. What glorious hair and eyelashes.:)
Thanks everybody - something about just turning one brings out the cherub I think. (And also the alternative when his will is not followed!)
"Tithadshi" is a great word. It makes you stop and think doesn't it? And I do hope that I use my camera well. It has already roused me out of bed at an ungodly hour to read about it before I sneak out of the house to try to grab some morning light. It is tempting me on long walks too!
Shoe story - when I bought the camera I was on the way to a meeting, wore fancy shoes minus socks, walked around downtown's cobblestones just a tad too long and got blisters. Despite the blisters I walked home from the city so I could take my first shots. Friday, I wore hiking boots to all my meetings!
You only appear to be telling half the story. Possibly in the best vaudeville tradition: always leave them wanting something more.
Yes, I want a Works Well analysis with full details so I can sigh and pine and itch with envy.
Welcome Home Caroline!
What fun! I'm glad your camper came home happy and you got a new toy:)
