School shopping, Holly. Different animal entirely.

Alix doesn’t mind school, school shopping is an entirely different kettle of fish :þ

School shopping is different, but it could get just as boring if mostly clothes are involved.

Alix bored and against. Holly totally for school shopping. Plus rainy day.

Jan, you missed a bet. Alix would probably love to put on a rainjacket and go out barefoot, look for other rainloving creatures, frogs for example, and go puddlejumping.

Alix is okay with school, it’s the thought of giving up summer and running around freely that she doesn’t like.

Holly is in denial, blocking out the word “school”.

I’m not crazy about shopping either- prefer to do it online and make my clothing of silk or cotton, but OK to do with family members.
