…I resolve to visit Portil in the Harvest Court Mall, 218 George St, Dunedin, more often this year…
….because Alastair & Richard from Portil (pictured above) have resolved to visit me more often as well….
…you should visit both shops as often as you can….
…but maybe wait till the xmas credit card bill is sorted!
…this superbly comfortable refugee from the 70s came into my possession via my usual source….
…the Tip Shop…
…$5 of electric blue pleasure that my house mate vetoed on the strength of an over enthusiastic description alone…
…had it in the shop for a week or so…but it takes up too much space…
..I kept tripping over the gorgeous thing …
…and it started to attract a “hairy” element…
…so we set her free… (sniff)…
…I’ll miss you Blue Velour.
(…I believe the French call it “Bleu Velour”…so, pronounced with a kiwi accent, that’s ….”Bler-Ver-Ler”…
…say it three or four times….
….mmm…Bleu Velour).
…all from 1986….
…days of yore, when everyone still had cheque books…
…and I still had a mohawk….(my third, if memory serves me correctly)…
….they are the first three I had published in the Otago University Students Assoc’ news paper, Critic.
…mmmm…cardboardies…now that’s a cereal.
…and all thru the shop…
…not a Too Tone was stirring ….
…not even to blog.
Many happy recoveries from the season. T xx.
….bells.
..use the paternity test, Luke.
..the xmas rush is almost done.
…I miscounted so you get an extra one today…
…no extra charge…
…as promised….
…an extra episode!
The Reality Of It All
…some time ago on Mars…
…more less tomorrow.
…arrrgh!….another busy pre-xmas day…
…having my lunch at 2pm…
…must complain to the manager….
…we’ll speak again soon.
Bored with a record shop.
