Almost Housebound

Managed a short trip out of the house to the Lye Torng where I enjoyed some more venison with a glass of wine, after which a friend turned up there to join me in a drink. We had a long discussion about clothes: she seems to buy very expensive make-up, jewellery, shoes, and bags but has taken to going to very cheap shops for tops and trousers. She acquired some great bargains today, including a very chic little mariniere top in navy and white with fine stripes and a tiny red line along the neckline and bottom, a gorgeous navy georgette blouse with tiny stripes and a very chic little white cotton blouse. All very well cut and well made. She was looking very smart in a black mohair beret, with a black short dress and leggings and long black boots, with a red cashmere scarf at the neck. Very French. Somehow. Some people seem to be naturally good at shopping.

Dorothy's mobile has been pinched. Dorothy will be incommunicado until Monday when a new phone arrives. Apparently the theft was a professional job in a pub. Julian and Dorothy may possibly come over tomorrow to drink some wine and eat some jamon etc, so I had better stock up with some bits and pieces tomorrow morning. I have to attend a pensioners party in the afternoon, but shall not stay long.
