Honey and leather.

[jacktellslies]

While travelling, I developed a taste for having certain important things on my person at all times. So I carry a large military backpack, one with lots of pockets. I require that I have access to a water bottle, a bottle for tea, a complete set of utensils, good painkillers, a book for reading, a book for writing, a suitable pen, condoms, an umbrella, my antique sunglasses, at least one but preferably three hats, a handkerchief, a menstrual cup, and Icelandic, British, and American coins. For some reason the euro is absent. One can often also find an extra book, some found metal, gloves and scarves and things, some fruit, and the day's groceries.

The honey that I brought home from work would seem to have leaked in my bag. As a result, I learned that I've also been carrying an impressive volume of vegetable detritus, mostly flaked garlic and red onion peel. This is not at all surprising.

Most of the honey pooled on one of the rabbit fur-lined red leather gloves I obtained in Venice. This is annoying, as the gloves are among the most valuable things in the bag. I shan't be disappointed, however, as this is quite possibly the sexiest problem I've ever had.
