Holiday is pretty much distant memory now. Work phone is ringing all the time-so escaped to gym to have some time to myself and do some "damage limitation". Took really good book to read while on cross trainer - love to read, so workout almost enjoyable.
Changed into industrial strength, gravity resistant, workout under garments- Bra is guaranteed to force 10 on Richter scale. Donned leggings, shorts,t.shirt etc. Placed pretty, lacy little bra into gym bag. Dumped clothes, keys etc on top and left bag in locker room.
Workout completed. Descended into stygian darkness of car park, got keys and handbag out of gym bag and headed to shops for ingredients. Eyes not adjusted to gloom so didn't notice that lacy bra had attached itself to hand bag zip.
Proceeded to saunter round shops trailing incriminatingly sexy undergarment off back of hand bag. Was paying for kaffir lime leaves before I noticed!. Had to stuff bra into smallish hand bag. Sooo embarrassed. Like walking through crowded restaurant with dress tucked into knickers. Gaaagh! Cannot tell my family as am already figure of fun.
Oh - Kaffir Lime leaf was part of excellent fragrant chicken curry. Froze the rest of the leaves along with surplus lemongrass stalks- both freeze well. Recipe is for Taste magazine, and is delish. But will not be able to make again once frozen kaffir lime leaves run out as cannot show my face in shops again - will have to move!

ReplyDeleteThis is so funny it made me cry. I can just imagine myself doing something like this. I suggest you find a new lime leaf supplier.

ReplyDeleteOh dear!! Sounds like a "wish the ground would open up and swallow me" moment!
ReplyDeleteSo funny. I walked around with a tampon (unused) once sticking out of my back jeans pocket. Noice ay!!!
ReplyDeleteVery funny!!! Thanks for the laugh. A number of years ago when I was in my early 20s I went bra shopping. The lovely helpful old (as in almost 70!!) assistant came to check on me. As she left the changing room she got the strap of my bra caught under her high heel. She didn't notice and I was in the changing room half naked so just watched in horror as she walked around the shop with my very tatty old bra dragging on the floor behind her!
ReplyDeleteI can completely understand your embarassment. Certainly makes for great story telling times!!!
