Third update: Sunday's shopping and socialising

[ailbhe]

On Sunday morning I went to town with Janice to buy swimming togs. We found one pair of togs in Reading that was a decent shape and a bearable colour. There's something wrong with style in the shops right now.

Then I went to my lesson, and then we went to Darrell and Becky's new house for a barbeque. It's nice and big inside, much bigger than our house, and the garden is lovely. It should take them a good long time to fill all the space with stuff! and even longer to find all the garden ornaments left by the previous owners, tucked away under fronds and so on. The garden is in three sections, so that you can sit in one section and not really see and be seen in the other sections. At the bottom of the garden is the river, which may be swimmable in. And there's a good big sycamore that's perfect for building a tree-house in.

In my experience, there's *always* something wrong with swimwear styles and colors. The hardest thing on earth to find is a simple black tank-style suit without legs cut up to *here* and nasty bra cups attached in such a way that ripping them out would wreck the garment's structural integrity. )-:

Janice got one pretty much like that, ish. It was black with go-faster-stripes. I am sick to the back teeth of black (even though I haven't beena goth chick for years and years) and wanted something else.

But not leopard print.

Or lurid green.

Or tangerine pink.

Or pink gingham, though I must say, I was sorely tempted; any garment that makes me laugh out loud is appealing.

I'm sticking with a bikini I got years ago; blue shorts and an ordinary two-triangles-and-string top. I would prefer a vesty top, though.
