Perfect 10

How refreshing it is to finally accept that you are now a dress size bigger than you were, and to cave in and purchase clothes that don't give you breathing and/or digestive problems.

Last year when I was training, I was somewhat ill and exhausted, and consequently had the figure comparable to the stars of "FunnyBones"... only less healthy-looking. So the suits I was buying were of appropriate scarecrow-esque proportions.

This year, having been sleeping and eating properly, I have noticed a certain constriction around the midriff which meant that putting on a suit for court required quite a bit of mental preparation - similar to ripping off a plaster, only knowing the impending discomfort would last 8 hours.

Anyway, today I have bought new suits, which fit. Yay! I'm broke, so it has damaged my bank balance, but at least when I look in the mirror I see somebody healthy, rather than skeletal... and that is well worth the cost of a suit or two.



NB. If you haven't read this, you were a deprived child. It is classic literature.
