I don't know why but I'm feeling rather happy this week. It can't be the weather because that has been pants, it might be because I did a short shift last week and had more days off as a result or it could be because........I've got a new pair of boots.
They were more than I like to pay but I got them at work so paid the tax-free price which was some consolation, and they will last me for years... won't they??? They bloody better had! I have great trouble finding footwear that's comfortable and my general rule of thumb for buying boots is.. if I can get my bunion afflicted trotters and fat calves in - GET THEM! These are perfect for everyday wearing with skirts and opaque/woolly tights but why-oh-why after thirty minutes, is the bloody gusset halfway down my legs? 'Tis most vexing. I'm not short nor tall and the tights are my size so why does this happen....is it just me or does anyone else have this dilemma?
* I did take a snap of my saggy gusset but out of respect for my readers have refrained from posting it *
Apart from the boots, a couple of other things put a smile on my face at work last week. I saw Bob Geldof stop to read a text, he was singing away to himself. I didn't recognise the tune, it certainly wasn't I Don't Like Mondays. The other nice thing was when I greeted an older gent of sartorial splendour and he doffed his trilby at me. It struck me as a rather old-fashioned but lovely gesture, something not seen often at all nowadays. Would you have been offended by it? Are you annoyed if a man holds a door open for you ? Do you find it sexist or belittling? Personally I think these are examples of courteous behaviour, perhaps staunch feminists would disagree.
It's been a dry, fair day today so I took the opportunity to whizz over my lawn with the Flymo, the garden has taken a battering recently from rainfall of monsoon proportions but there are still a few blooms remaining.
Back to work tomorrow followed by a meal at the curry house to celebrate the fourteenth birthday of my niece. Prawn dhansak... bring it on!
Have a good weekend
