I told my sister about it and she loves the idea. She is going to frock up and put on lipstick. I said I wasn’t going to promise to brush my hair but I was into a celebratory baked dinner for one.

Maybe I’ll frock up with google.

Now there’s a great late 60s notion. And I think Mrs V may have a sarong or two. Failing that I could tie-dye a bed sheet.
