The brown jumper with the stain has had to be withdrawn from sale, because I have decided it will be perfect for a play I’m in in a couple of weeks. It has flared sleeves à la 70’s, and will do for the geek I am playing – in fact I’ve got 3 roles in this one (I think – still trying to work it out).

I was very grown-up this afternoon, and paid a visit “downstairs” – think damp and musty, with crumbling ceilings and piles of junk and books. I scratched around in the bin bags of clothes down there, and came up with some good stuff – several pairs of jeans in perfect condition,jumpers which just needed a wash and some softener,old brand new shoes and a couple of handbags “somebody will love”.

I managed to get the clothes washed and dried, as it was a beautiful sunny day, so am feeling unnaturally organized – even if it’s only a small start. I did have a look at the books, but decided to abandon that idea, having got stuck at an old casserole recipe book dating from the early 80’s – the start of my previous life, and therefore a tear-jerker.

Enjoy this blog while it lasts, as I am thinking of going private – and to anyone who is thinking of nicking my material – don’t.
