At least half a dozen times in the last week, I've heard "going Christmas jumper shopping" mentioned as an essential pre-Christmas task, when one buys "this year's Christmas jumper." Is this a thing now? Have I entirely failed to notice, let alone engage in, something that everyone else has been doing for years, or is it new? No-one talking about it implies that it's new.
In other clothes-related news, the skirt I'm wearing today seemed like a very good idea when I saw it half price in M&S a few weeks ago. Today I am regretting that choice. Between work and the cemetery there's a strip of gravel scattered with stumpy dead thistly plants. At least, it was half an hour ago. Now I suspect it's a strip of gravel scattered with nothing at all. I have individually - and painfully - prized off at least 957 very prickly bits of shrivelled leaf and twig, and I'm still wearing half a forest - a vengeful one that stabs my shins when I walk.
