God Mammon and jeans are an unlikely Saturday morning troika, I had better explain.
The headline in the paper I was flicking through said ‘Church preaches against pay excess’. Intrigued I read on. The church in question, the Church of England, is going to vote against extravagant bonuses for executives, according to the article the Church Commissioners have a £5.3 billion portfolio, so their wish ‘that people should be paid what they are worth’ may well come to pass . While I was reading this the radio was burbling away in the background and the talk was about the London flat sold for a record £135 million. Now apparently that’s just for a shell so the owner is planning on spending a further £60 million on the interior. And oh yes, the jeans, well part of today was set aside for a mission to find a Summer pair.
I have shopped around for the right pair of jeans for a while without success. Today I decided to drive to the Kildare Outlet Village and I am glad I did as I found the perfect pair. Now my only worry is did I get the right size. I sometimes get the size that fits in the shop only to discover that a week later the jeans are too loose, today I opted for a pair I had to squeeze into. Here’s hoping they stretch to perfection.
Bye for now.
