I'm not sure I've told you about my good friend at work, Wilf? Well if I haven't, I'm very remiss and do apologise. I first met him whilst working in the now defunct departmental library and we bonded over biscuits and a shared admiration for Harry Beck's innovative tube map. I arranged to meet him for a canteen lunch today and he brought along a new album consisting entirely of photographs of his vintage double decker bus which he houses at the Midlands Motor Museum. Wilf likes nothing more than spending hours on end tinkering with 'Mavis' on his days off, sometimes he jokes 'it's the only time I get to buff off some beautiful bodywork wh an oily rag Margaret!'
I left work at 4pm and decided to replenish my summer wardrobe with some more 'trendy threads'. Isn't it annoying just how long shop assistants spend folding and re-folding clothes? I headed for Covent Garden, as I'd heard that it was very 'hip and happening' there and thought I'd brave the Levi's shop as my hero Gok Wan believes that classic Levi's never date and always look nice. I picked up a size 34/32 and squeezed into the bijou changing 'pod' and conversely extremely embarrassed that I couldn't even do the button up! Oh Margaret, thou est too fat for fashion! Eeek! Headed to good old M&S on Oxford Street after that and found some wonderful capris and a trusty pair of linen mix trousers instead. There's a lot to be said for comfort in this day and age.
