Today best friend S. had a significant birthday, so we went to the hairdresser together - we share the same hairdresser but it is quite rare for us to go together. When I went to book my next appointment for 6 weeks on, I discovered that that was when I would be away to visit son and daughter in law again, so made appointment for 5 weeks on .
After, we did some shopping. Eat your heart out, Tesco, I was able to get the Noilly Prat from Morrisons that I failed to get in Tesco's last delivery. In fact I bought the whole stock of 5 bottles and a bottle of rather inexpensive Tio Pepe (to make it 6 bottles for the 5% discount - well seen I am a Scot!), then we came home for tea and pressie opening. Many of the presents had a story to go with them as to why - and often when - I had bought them.
It is rare that I go out specially to buy presents, but it is amazing how often I just see something on my way round numerous places that appears to jump up and say "hey I would be perfect for ....) I collect these presents in two places in my flat, a drawer in one of my chests of drawers and on the floor of the wardrobe.
We were very lucky to have a beautiful, warm, sunny day. The sun is still shining. It would be wonderful if we were to get a spell like this to set us up for winter.

I have occasionally followed your example of buying presents as I see them. Then I either forget or lose them...
