I had to buy a belt this week coz my jeans kept falling down and that’s not a pretty sight. It’s not that I’ve lost so much weight it’s more the stupid design that’s currently fashionable whereby pants hang on the hips not the waist. That’s fine for those with jutting hip bones but I think we have firmly established by now that I’m not in that category. I went to Subi market and plucked a fine black leather specimen of the rack. “Oh, you won’t need one as long as that, dear,” said the stallholder. “Yes, she will,” chirped my spouse. Well they were both wrong. I needed one that was even longer. Groan.
Apart from belt buying, a nice week. Thanks to those of you who sent your best wishes for my 49th birthday. Particular thanks to those who accompanied their greetings with chocolate. I don’t really like that sort of thing, as you know, but out of pure politeness I’ll probably manage to force down a little of the mud truffle or perhaps a Freddo choc frog.
In other news… I won $50 in a supermarket raffle. I promise not to spend it on anything edible. Series 2 of Star Trek Enterprise is out on video this week. I may be tempted.
I saw a whale yesterday. (No, not in the mirror!) it was about 400 yards out to sea on the coast just near the house. We went out for a morning stroll on the seafront and there was a whale, swimming up and down. We thought at first it might have come too close and got stuck but after a while it just gave a flick of its tail and headed off out to sea again. It was quite startling but made me smile for the whole day.
