In an age when the wearing of pyjamas in supermarkets and when taking children to school (when schools were open) has had to be banned, let's hear it for proper clothes.
Hurray for chiffon and tweed and wool. For shoes in bright colours:
For shiny buckles and contrasting buttons, for zips and epaulets and gathers and pleats.
More than that, let's hear it for caring enough about others (and oneself) to make a just bit of an effort before setting forth.
A big chunk of respect to everyone for waking up and seizing the moment. For making the most of the free stuff. For smelling the coffee.
For making the world no worse a place.
Hurray!
Thing Not To Be Today: a slob. This word came into English in the 1800s from the Irish slab, which means mud.
