Specifically, the pleasure derived from a new, unanticipated handbag, which took the form of a belated birthday present from a friend.
The picture betrays its monstrous capacity. Today, in addition to my own essential items, I managed to transport a pack of nappies, a hardback copy of ‘War and peace’, an industrial-sized jar of lime curd and a small child in its voluminous pockets.
Marvellous. Just plain marvellous.
(Thanks, C!)

Comment by spindleshanks January 9, 2006 @ 10:29 pmWar and Peace. Get you!
Comment by Wyndham January 9, 2006 @ 10:37 pmok, so i might have been fibbing about war and peace
it’s called artistic licence
i was merely trying to give y’all a sense of the voluminosity of my handbag
but i wasn’t kidding about the lime curd and small child
Comment by Urban Chick January 9, 2006 @ 11:07 pmVoluminosity! Get you!
Comment by Wyndham January 9, 2006 @ 11:13 pmOh my – just THINK of the possibilities for what could be carried ’round. Fantastic.
Comment by Whinger January 9, 2006 @ 11:20 pmI’ve heard the new translation is a Must Read, even if you’ve already read it before.
Nice bag, BTW!
Comment by Justine January 9, 2006 @ 11:48 pmmmmmmm lime curd. Get you! 🙂
Comment by Jane January 10, 2006 @ 12:46 amThe pack of nappies is what really impressed me.
Comment by mig bardsley January 10, 2006 @ 2:49 amThat would be what Ruth calls a ‘mummy bag’ perhaps?
so which one of the chicklets got left behind? You couldn’t leave out War and Peace, or maybe the curd thing, and take them both in the bag?
Comment by Kyahgirl January 10, 2006 @ 3:32 amOoh – capacious. And pretty. Gurgle.
Comment by Liz January 10, 2006 @ 10:59 amThat is a VERY sexy bag indeed. But, er, why the lime curd…?
Comment by Hannah January 10, 2006 @ 11:46 amAll the best handbags should have tardis/Mary Poppins-like qualities.
I would use that one for my hand luggage.
Comment by Kellycat January 10, 2006 @ 2:13 pmVery nice bag. I couldn’t carry it, though: sounds too heavy. I’m a weakling. 😦

Couldn’t agree more. And a mighty fine handbag it is too; UC: I salute you.
Always a big fan of the capacious bag myself, which come to think of it might be why my back hurts.
Comment by Pashmina January 10, 2006 @ 5:14 pmGreat Bag!
Comment by Annieytown January 10, 2006 @ 10:14 pmMy handbags look like small pieces of luggage. They weigh a good 10-15 pounds and hard to close.
They have been weighed at WW.
cute! What’s lime curd? And what do you do with it? Inquiring minds … xoxo
Comment by mireille January 11, 2006 @ 1:48 amM, lime curd is the same as lemon curd, only made with limes. It’s like a thick custard. It’s made with lemon/lime juice, zest, egg, butter and sugar. It’s used as a filling for lemon tarts and, as SG says, it’s also lovely on bread. I make a mean lemon curd. Pity you live so far away. I can send you the recipe, if you like. 🙂
Comment by Bela January 12, 2006 @ 5:33 amMmm, on holiday we got some passionfruit curd, which is very nice eaten straight from a spoon. However, sadly I haven’t a lovely big bag to transport it in.
Very lovely bag.
