“To get to know a woman
don’t look inside her heart,
just rummage through her handbag
the perfect place to start!
Handbags, whether large or small
tell our secrets, one and all.”
Excerpt from a poem HANDBAGS by Elijah A. Terry
This morning I was preparing my handbag on my way to work, every day I carry a handbag to work, I carry a handbag to go shopping, actually every time I leave the house, I carry my handbag with me. Even when I am going for my early morning squash session, I leave my handbag in the car, in case I need something in it, in the three minutes it takes to drive from my house to the squash court. Normally, I just pick a handbag that suits what I am wearing (to the best of my ability, I am not exactly a fashionista). I then absent-mindedly switch the contents from the handbag I used previously to the one I will be using. I carry roughly the same things every day.
