Sitting in my favourite café, Skaperverket in Tønsberg, having my usual raspberry cheesecake and chili mocca.

It's a very pleasant day, lots of sun, no wind, warm enough to wear a light jacket and not need a jumper under it.

Posted a parcel, got the propane canister refilled, visited three charity shops and didn't buy anything!

In the NMS charity shop I had a brief chat with a woman who had hung her jacket on the end of the rail I was looking at. She asked how long I'd been wearing women's clothes. I think that's the first time I've been asked that by someone in a casual conversation. She didn't express any opinion on the matter, she just seemed genuinely curious. She also pointed out that I had lipstick on my teeth. So embarrassing, I thought I had learnt to be more careful.

Then on the way out I passed one of the old ladies who work the till and she said I looked elegant. She has complimented me before. She has also expressed concern that I was a little underdressed for the weather once in the winter. It was well below freezing and I wasn't wearing a coat but it was less than fifty metres from the shop to my car so I was in no danger.
