Have I mentioned how badly dressed people are in England? I now know where my mistress gets her \u2018dress sense\u2019 from. It seems that here the teenagers are very fashion conscious, then there are some middle aged people trying to look like teenagers (and failing!). After that are a handful of stylish people and an awful lot that miss the mark or, as in my mistress\u2019s case, don\u2019t bother at all. In Belgium, each age seems to have its fashion and all of them involve being more refined than seems the case here. I don\u2019t think it is going to do my mistress good to stay around here too long, she might end up trying the \u2018looking like a teenager\u2019 thing! There are also far fewer underwear shops here, but maybe I am not supposed to notice things like that.<\/p>\n
I am now sporting a very attractive new design to my coat. My right ear has a lovely magnolia trim to it. How was I supposed to know that my mistress had just pained that bit of wall? It will wear off eventually and at least there are no mirrors yet in the new house so I can\u2019t see my self. That may account for the state of my mistress\u2019s hair too, I hope she wouldn\u2019t go out looking like that if she could see what her hair looked like.<\/p>\n
There are not many tress round here either. When I go for a walk in the rain, I get much wetter without trees to provide some shelter, although, it has been getting much worse in Belgium too, with all the leaves falling off the trees. Branches aren\u2019t so effective in providing cover as a canopy of leaves are. Here there aren\u2019t even any bare branches, it\u2019s all a bit sad really.<\/p>\n
