Sweaty Betty

Why is it that when I go into shops in town in my lunch hour I always seem to break out into a hot sweat?

I guess its cos I'm wearing my big red coat and they overheat the shops. I was trying tops on in Dotty P's and I had a minging sweaty back. I felt obliged to buy the top I sweated up... I also got my Dad'd girlfriend her christmas present in there. We have such opposite taste I hope she likes it. She wears a lot of gold jewellery and likes diamante, preferably the two mixed together. She buys a lot of jewellery on QVC... you get the picture.

I couldn't bring myself to buy anything too hideous and ended up with a nice pair of earrings and necklace that ARE gold but a dull gold, not too shiny shiny, and they have little discs of shell in them. They're quite funky. I wonder if she will ever wear them. She will probably try to polish them up or something.

Town was completely overrun with Ladies' College schoolgirls with their skirts hiked up and hair hanging loose. Hmmph. When I was there they were so strict about hem lines and your hair had to be up. Kids these days have it so easy! A lot of them looked really slutty actually. They must have really loosened up at that school.

My wife also often comments about the Ladies College girls outfits, also being an ex-student. I guess that the standards have slipped a bit...
