They are very useful when weather is undecided. I can put them off and on and even carry a spare for a different temperature.<br />Re. refugees. It's interesting how people react differently to the terms 'refugees' and 'asylum seekers'. It seems to matter quite a lot what roses are called.Lucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-77258641970062570192015-04-26T07:02:00.028-07:002015-04-26T07:02:00.028-07:00I did my sort out and cleaning last week.

The folks who work there are beginning to recognize me.<br /><br />It's a wonderful feeling to lighten up on my own possessions, while perhaps presenting some other people with some clothes they will enjoy.<br /><br />Of course, our NYC weather keeps zigzagging between warmish and chilly. The down coat was back in action for yesterday's walk across the Park.<br /><br />I seem to remember seeing Mr Rees-Jones on the West End stage a few times, once in a play with Joanna Lumley and another time in a Dario Fo play. All this was long ago.

Either it goes to Goodwill or in the creek. That sounds trashy, I know, but I am trying to fill in the headwater as the creek is getting deeper and larger.

One day something no longer fits; it's into the GoodWill bag and some more of mine to fill it up. Then we must go shopping, because, OMG, those were her favorite turquoise capris. By how often I see them on her, they were/are.

The air quality is better because of it - and if anyone is caught burning things they receive a hefty fine.
