The weather was dank and dreary with a threat of rain falling when it wasn't just hanging in the air. There's a bag I use on these particular occasions which I really, really dislike, yet it has a purpose.
It's waterproof on the outside with a separate bag inside it. The bag will not be affected by the rain, it won't be damaged, nor would it care if it were.
I was given said bag by my Nanny a few years ago and with most presents, feel obligated to use it. Her suggested use was as a cool bag for frozen food at which I raised an eyebrow. A coolbag it is not.
I think it's absolutely hideous. And yet perfect for risking destruction in adverse weather.
Do you keep hold of something you really dislike for a particular purpose? Or do you just wave goodbye to unwanted gifts?
Take care,
Sophie
