Bought a pair of slippers early on in lockdown last spring. A serious pair, from M&S, to replace my worn out polar bears, in anticipation of the weeks of homebound life ahead. Sadly, but inevitably, they themselves wore out recently. To my dismay, the exact same ones weren’t available, but a very close equivalent in grey/yellow (instead of blue/ orange) was.
Didn’t want to take any risks on availability on such an essential item, and the thought of shipping around for something when I already know exactly what I want was not appealing. So I bought two pairs.
Stockpiling slippers. Feels good. In more ways than one.
