Easy for walking around the exhibition all day. And flights of stairs on the London underground, and over the railway line at Olympia station. The Red Jacket The label is Indigo Moon.

The Red Scarf The red scarf is a piece of remnant fabric from Spotlight store in Auckland, North Island, New Zealand. It cost under five pounds. No need to cut or sew the edges. I could wear it staright away. The only problem was that the remnant rolled up and fastened with sticky tape. (In the UK we use the brand name Sellotape.) The sticky tape when removed pulled off a few of the gold foil dots. However, when I wore it, the missing or damaged dots were not noticeable. Note to myself. Never put stick ...

ANGELA  Lansbury earing the colours of the Polish flag, white above red.   In Singapore I wore a red top and white skirt for Singapore's national day. The colours are in the opposite positions to Poland's flag. In Singapore the red, lucky to Chinese cultures, is at the top. The additional moon n is a Muslim symbol because Singapore was oriinally part of Malaya until the two separated into Malaysia and Singapore. In the UK for a speech on Poland I wore a wwhite blouse with a red skirt. No shortage of food in red and white if you ever want a red and white themed meeting. Wines are red and white too. FlAG OF IiNDONESIA The flag of Indonesia is like Singapore's with the red above and the white below.\ Your red and white outfits can be worn for Polish occasionas, Singapore national Day in August, Indonesian occasionas, Christmas, and Valentine's Day.

Harrovians toastmasters club. This year I went to Harrovians. The two leaders of the meeting, husband and wife, were in matching jumpers. I thought that was very effective. I then received a notice from the sister club of which I am also a member. Time for me to get out my Xmas outfit. Years ago I would not have bought a seasonal outfit. I thought it was a waste of money to buy seasonal items which you only wear once to a party. Too twee.  Might offend non-Christian friends. Then, one year I saw one in a sale.  Now, when asked to dress in Xmas theme, I can oblige.  In theory I should keep it in a suitcase up in the attic or an outroom such as a store room, maid's room, scullery/utility room.  The suitcase would be labelled Xmas with a all the decorations.  However, I tend to keep most things out. This works well if you want to find it in a hurry. I did. iwent to my cupborad of thick woolly jumpers and found it immeditely on the top of the pile. Xmas jumper Backg...

The gap is filled by my full length black slip from Marks & Spencer.  The skirt has two large side pockets. The Red Sleeveless Top with Metal Elephant Embellishments I love the elephants.   The Blue Short-Sleeved 'Silk' top  The blue short-sleeved top is from Patra of London, England. I think of it as a silk top. The top is not actually one hundred per cent silk but 55% silk and 45% cotton. I have several of these in assorted colours. They feel soft. I prefer the ones in deeper colours. Adjustable Sandals The red sandals have three adjustable straps. They are Free-Step by Grosby, size 5. Adjustable straps are useful when travelling if you have to remove shoes and replace them at security. On the plane your feet often swell up. In tropical countries, when yo...
