Wow, it's still very cold there!!I’m glad to hear you’re looking after yourself as the temperature rises and with your respiratory allergy. Wow, congratulations on your consistency with working out! Stay cool and be well.
We have the opposite climate, -5C/23 F and snow. I wore my heavy winter coat for our afternoon walk today.
We were thinking before that the virus will not hit us that hard because of the hot temperature. But sadly, I suppose the virus is climate neutral.
Aside from possibly high electricity bill (my window type A/C is still not the inverter type), I also don't want to stay in the room all the time as I would feel lazy and just lie down. Not very productive! Plus, I don't want to risk my A/C breaking down on me at this time.
It's funny that a friend of mine who earns really very well (and no financial issues whatsoever) is trying to economize on her A/C usage too because of electricity bill concerns! She says she's also using up a few shirts a day due to the constant need to change from sweating.
Love your Bolide!! Gorgeous!Hi Cookie, thanks for your kind words, Etain is one of my favourite H colours. It goes well with my black, grey, white and navy wardrobe. Thanks for the Camera Case love. It has good capacity and is one of my smaller grey bags. It doesn’t have the continuous chain strap the older versions have which allows you to wear it crossbody. I recall @catsinthebag got her Reissue Camera Case chain modified or extended. I wonder if she wears it more often now?
I admired @papertiger ‘s and @Pessie ’s Bolides for a long time before finding the one for me. I love my Bolide. It is a great day bag that works for my lifestyle and fits what I carry with extra room. It has two handles, a long strap and a zipper. It was in my top 4 most carried bags of 2019. The colour, leather (Clemence with Swift interior), shape/style and capacity work for me. I can wear it with dressy and more casual outfits. The bag style has been around for a long time, the original design in 1923 was the first bag with a zipper. My Bolide is a size 31 and it comes in smaller and larger sizes. I like the under the radar style of the Bolide. The Bolide is one of my favourite bags in my collection. Here’s a little more eye candy.

Thank you cowgirlsboots! I did an earlier series of pics of bag/scarf/pen combos when I was trying to rotate my pens, like the extra pic of my Bolide I included above. When I am appreciating what I already have it makes it hard for any potential new additions, they have to be really special.
In fact it was funny for me because another friend of mine is (funnily) puzzled why I don't use my A/C more. 
In the store, there were clusters of women chatting about nothing. (Maybe men chat in clusters but, it was soccer mom Monday at the grocery store today.) C’mon ladies. Call or Skype your friends - the grocery store is NOT a social gathering place. Further, patrons had no qualms about grabbing around people to get items. Why? Take your time and wait your turn. Sheesh. Do you need your eggs in the next 30 seconds? No. Calm down.
