It's Curtains For You

After a hot tea and light supper of sardine toasties Meryl suggested we go out for the evening. I feigned illness. Why? Because she was still sporting a set of Laura Ashley curtains from the 80's, sorry Palazzo Pants. She took my temperature and assured me I was fine. I asked if she would not be a little nippy in such breezy trouserware and suggested she might like to wear a pair of my daughter's velour jogging bottoms. Anything would have been preferable to those pants. She laughed and shook her head. I insisted that she secure her swishy Palazzo Pants with bike clips so as to avert any nasty accidents with lift doors but she refused stating that it would create a harem trouser effect and besides we were only popping over the road for a 'quick one'. She meant a drink. So we set off into the night, her trousers dragging along in the detritus of the pavement. Thank goodness it was dark. The sight of the Mysterious Woman Of Floral Cloth could scare small children and give other woman strange fashion ideas. If she continues to dress like this I could happily say it's curtains for us!
