13th February. Berlin Departement Store.

"Stay close with me you look like a homeless person." advises Isabelle as we drift amongst aisles of parfumerie and cosmetics under the suspicious eye of a security guard.

Isabelle was appalled to find that my clothing for this trip consisted only of what I was standing up in.

Apparently a lack of colour coordination is indicative of a limited vocabulary when it comes to the language of clothes typical of the average down and out.

I am suitably impressed! And here's me thinking that I travelled light, never taking more than a carrier bag full.

Yes, apparently there IS a distinction between items of clothing which have come off the catwalk, and items upon which one's cats have walked. Go figure.

(I am guessing you were at KaDeWe?)

Oh yes...the famed KaDeWe

I think we managed to avoid that though.
