By the way the hat was not part of the costume. Each couple would have a different colour scheme but always the man's waistcoat would match the ladies skirt and the lady would wear a black waistcoat.
I am really struggling with these and I am afraid that my journalling today comes across a bit angry but it is stirring up things in my past that perhaps I don't want stirred up. I found my teenage years very difficult because I just didn't fit in with my peers (not that we thought of them as peers in those days) and suffered because of it. Rather than rebelling against my parent's generation I rebelled against my own generation.
As I started doing these while still up with my family it felt appropriate to do it as a reading book for Daniel. I have actually made it into a book which I will send up to them. It is not quite in the same format as here but the words are more or less the same. I can be very grumpy first thing in the morning but as I was usually up before they came down stairs by that time I felt fine again I have had to adapt the words to fit what I had already done for the rest of the prompts Again I guessed at what would be put for the prompt for this day
