I have a big black tote-bag I got from attending the Golancz festival in London a few years back and it is a TARDIS that never fails to fit whatever I try to jam in it. Right now, and typically, it has in it:
small, grey, crook-handled umbrella
brown leather wallet
set of keys
prescription sunglasses in case
mini battery operated hand/desk fan (always seems to amaze people)
high capacity 2.4 amp USB charger
two bottles of hand sanitizer (made by company my dad works for)
Pockets:
Right front: Keys
Left front: USB sticks & plectrums
Left rear: card holder - debit card, library card, ID card, travelcard, business cards, work locker keycard
Right rear: iPhone
wallet
face mask
train pass
work pass
inhaler
hand sanitiser
portable phone charger
plug adapter thing for phone charger
packet of tissues
moisturiser
umbrella
notebook
3 x tote bags (one gay star news with a big picture of a unicorn on it that i got from walking in the pride parade two or three years ago, one from glastonbury 2014, one with a picture of a diana camera on it)
baby’s bib with pictures of lions and giraffes and elephants and crocodiles on
pair of baby’s socks
remember going to a christening once and had a satchel with me and one of my mates laughing like why have you got a bag with you, what have you got in there? and just being like how do you manage without a bag, where do you keep all your stuff? men are so basic, thinking all they need is there wallet and keys. get a grip
neither of these things have been used for like a year and a half but they live in my bag. what am i supposed to do, find them somewhere else to live?
i forgot that i chucked these in my bag the other day. i guess i could have brought them upstairs to put in the wash but i’ve actually just chucked them back in my bag. wonder when i’ll find them again
