What have you bought lately?

They are indeed 

Two smart phone cases and a pack of soaps.

A5 sketchpad, selection of graphite pencils, pencil sharpener and a rubber.

I couldn't find my old sketchpad, so the drawing I recently did of Heather's Avatar was done on an ordinary sheet of A4 copy paper.

I wasn't really satisfied with that result, so I guess I don't have any excuses now 

As I went to the checkout in the stationery shop to pay for the goods I remembered I needed a rubber.  I scooted back to the artists' supplies section and grabbed one.  The rubber is essential.  I would have been in trouble without that little gem 

I visited London on a school trip back in 1983. Upon returning to the hotel lounge after a trip to Stratford Upon Avon, a group of us started working on our critiques of Julius Caesar, performed by the RSC. A man behind me tapped me on the shoulder and asked if he could use my rubber. I almost decked him, but saw that he was pointing to my pencil. In American English, "rubber" has a very different meaning!

I did not bring my short so I got them before heading to the beach today.

I play the Postcode Lottery, so bought a ticket today.

Wish me luck!

There is a thread here from way back discussing different meanings for words between different countries. It was interesting.

I bought clothes. I do like wearing stylish clothes!

Two lottery tickets.

A sailboat wall hanging for my spare bedroom.

Nothing personal for a while, but I dare say that will change soon 

A lorry load of wood!

I almost bought some leather cleaner, but we couldn't agree on the price.
