That stitching is lovely Roma, anc it is great to show her how she can have fun with what she wears. And we can too, lol. I am deliberately choosing to wear things that amuse me rather than clothes that I 'should' wear, age appropriate, subdued colours etc - the ones that contribute to our invisibility. And everytime the brights go out I get people talking to me which is such fun and boosts my confidence. So we really are what we wear, for a few hours anyway! And I choose fun...
On a more sombre note, yesterday I had more door knocks and spoke with a couple of neighbours seriously discombobulated by the fire and the death. These events ripple out in a small community, and that's not even taking the first responders, the staff, and the others down the line who have to deal with the aftermath. This man has left such a mess behind him, such big costs, and all so unnecessary, if he had just had a working smoke alarm. I cannot help feeling very cross about the whole business, and that feeling is not helped by my dislike of the man himself and the way he used our welfare system. I will have to give myself a stern talking to...
