Blown away!

[Lesley-cd]

I've just had a rather 'invigorating' experience! I had just bought a new pair of boots and was keen to take them out for a walk. Normally I plan my walks quite carefully but this time I threw caution to the wind (literally as it turned out!). I quickly got made up and dressed and headed out. It was about 10.30 and dark, not raining but quite windy. I didn't realise how windy until I had walked for about 15 minutes with the wind at my back and I decided to turn and walk back. Suddenly I had the full force of the wind in my face. I had to quickly make a grab for the hair which threatened to take off on its own but then the coat I was wearing which is quite long but only buttons to the waist started blowing about like Batman's cape! I was wearing a short skirt and stockings and everything was exposed to the elements ( I could see this being a fantasy on another occasion but I was fighting for survival here!!). So with one hand anchoring my hair and the other trying to preserve my dignity I staggered for home still trying to maintain a feminine gait. Fortunately no one passed too close but I must have been a sight! I made it home totally dishevelled but was able to laugh once I was inside and safe from the elements.
Anyway, the bottom line is that now, before I go out, along with all the other checks, I'll be sure to consult the weather forecast!

Anyone else got a 'weather' tale?!

perhaps, a head scarf would have helped.


Glad to hair you made it home safely

Lesley,

So how did the boots do? I'll bet your feet were the least of your concern!

Colleen,

The boots were fantastic - though I didn't get a chance to appreciate them! Believe it or not, it's the first pair of boots I've ever had and though they have a fairly high heel (4") I found them much easier to walk in than my other heels - just as well or I may never have made it back to the house! :whew!:

Hehehe

The first time I ever went 'out' dressed, was a few years ago with a TV I knew at the time. I think the place was called the Golden Lion in the West Midlands somewhere ( ?? anyone ?). It was the middle of winter with a wind blowing in via Siberia. Perhaps a PVC mini and stockings were not the *ideal* choices. Tucking?? Pah! who needs it ? I had a good time though :-) and on the way back to the car I didn't feel the cold at all...
