Essential Supplies

So, I appear to be going to Bath today. To dinner and then to a hotel room.

Last night's conversation included something like:
"You know Paddington?"
"Yes?"
"And there's a Boots there, yes?"
"Yes..."
"Is there an... exciting... section... in the Boots?"

At which point I tried to think of exactly which row of tissues and throat sweets could be classed as exciting. I clocked it eventually.

"Why, yes. Yes, I think there is."
"I think we need to... uhm..."
"Would you like a present?"
"Maybe."

I'll get her a present all right.
