Today I intend to take a bag of clothes to the local charity shop. I've started to be a bit more efficient at culling the lists of things that have been listed online for a long time without being sold.

And I really must do my nails, the Nightshade varnish is all chipped, half of it is missing. I intended to do it yesterday but had to rush out in such a rush that I forgot all about it.

Today's outfit is a little unusual, perhaps you can see why

@22Michelle It's a sort of small blanket or outsized scarf. I've run out of long skirts and I've been intending to try wearing as skirts some of the big scarves that my wife had accumulated. While rummaging after skirts in a box I came across this and tried it. It wraps a bit over one and a half times around me so I rolled the top over and pinned it at one side with a kilt pin. As you can see in the pictures the side that was unpinned started to fall down a little. It's a good job it's s soft woolly blanket material and not a smoother scarf. I redid it when I got home with a kilt pin both sides. I don't know why I didn't try it with kilt pins before, I kept on thinking of complicated schemes with belts and elastic, none of which seemed likely to work without an excess of complication.
