I know that feeling - trying to look elegant while looking down a list of chores.

(Except she achieves it!)

But have you got the head gear!

Haven't got any of the gear. Maybe that's what's wrong!

I've got a wooly hat I knitted twenty years ago and I sometimes wear that in the house when it gets very cold. Do you think that's a start?

What a lovely dress she has Lucy, but not very practical. What can I say, I slop around in jeans and slippers, though I put a warm coat on to go for my short walk a few minutes ago.
