Sounds like you are a tad accident prone :)<br /><br />Look on the brightside though, at least the escalator stopped before it ate the skirt completely. All in all a ripped coffee smelling skirt is better than no skirt at all when you have to wait at Paddington for 45 minutes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-34369685968483862802006-11-22T07:20:00.000+00:002006-11-22T07:20:00.000+00:00It was a brilliant day thanks Chris!

Not quite ready to wear purple...Greetings Meredic!<br /><br />Not quite ready to wear purple yet - but I love this sentiment!<br /><br />Sally<br /><br />Warning - When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple<br /><br />By Jenny Joseph<br /><br />When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple<br /><br />with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.<br /><br />And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves<br /><br />and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.<br /><br />I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired<br /><br />and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells<br /><br />and run my stick along the public railings<br /><br />and make up for the sobriety of my youth.<br /><br />I shall go out in my slippers in the rain <br /><br />and pick the flowers in other people's gardens<br /><br />and learn to spit.<br /><br /> <br /><br />You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat<br /><br />and eat three pounds of sausages at a go<br /><br />or only bread and pickles for a week<br /><br />and hoard pens and pencils and beer nuts and things in boxes.<br /><br /> <br /><br />But now we must have clothes that keep us dry<br /><br />and pay our rent and not swear in the street<br /><br />and set a good example for the children.<br /><br />We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.<br /><br />But maybe I ought to practice a little now?<br /><br />So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised<br /><br />When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.sallywriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950005738012348313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-17903850118286798972006-11-21T11:59:00.000+00:002006-11-21T11:59:00.000+00:00I can almost imagine people tutting about how some...I can almost imagine people tutting about how some start to go downhill after a certain age.<br />Quite a nice follow on up to your last post. :)<br />GreetingsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
