Regular readers (I know there aren't that many) will remember my friend who is incapable of dressing appropriately for the weather. This is something I have only found out recently and did wonder whether it was just a blip in an otherwise sensible human being. However today, found him again in suit and shirt, and as you will be aware if you live in London it has rained all day. So he got wet going to work, then again going to a meeting, then again coming back from the meeting and finally on his way home. What is extraordinary was the fact that whilst he sat having a coffee the rain stopped and only started again as he took his last sip. My biggest concern is that this rainbringer is going to Glastonbury - I am encouraging him to take his rainwear in the hope that this will bring out the sun.

On to my day - at lunchtime I thought I would l buy some new clothes, as most of my trousers and skirts now only stay up with the help of a belt. I spent an hour trying on jeans which were too large, too small, and in one instance too short. Why is that shops think if you are a slightly larger lady then you must also be short. So tomorrow I will venture to Oxford Street and see if I have more success there.
