Thursday.

Just wanting to add my expression of understanding and support to you Grace. It's a sad fact of life that, as we ourselves grow older, we will inevitably lose dear friends and family. Four in one year must be hard to deal with though. Take time and be kind to yourself. Grief takes many forms and shouldn't be hurried.

A busy week here with hardly time to breathe. Spent yesterday with a friend who was looking for a wedding outfit. She doesn't drive and is on a very limited budget. It was a thankless task. We came home exhausted and disappointed. Seems that anybody who is no longer a teen aged "stick insect", is entitled to want anything fashionable or vaguely attractive to wear.. On a brighter note. I stumbled on the secret of looking slimmer ....try on clothes a size larger than you think you are ! Sad but true.

We are enjoying a week of warm sunshine. We are bracing ourselves for the warm North West winds, which usually plague us in November. They blow the garden around and dry the grass out . October gardens are the best this part of the world. Green and fresh and full of colour.

Off out again this morning...

Marion.

Why don't you get your friend to check out different web sites? If she somewhat knows her size she can buy anything on the web.
I know it's best to try things on, but sometimes what you are looking for just isn't in the local stores.
Try Talbot's or Macy's or whatever store, and there should be some good pictures to look at.

Thanks Sara, nice idea but there aren't a lot of options on the web for NZers.. My friend has decided to rehash a past wedding outfit...add a bit here, take off a bit there...you know the sort of thing ! I guess we've all done it at times !
