Hot weather, at last...lovely.
Well, not lovely really. Only lovely if you don't have to move from in front of a fan whilst sipping ice water! and certainly not lovely when you are carrying about 10 extra stones on your back and trying to continue to live a 'normal' life!!
I always seem to forget until we have hot weather, just how uncomfortable I find living and working with a bit of heat.
Long gone are the days of my wearing skirts or dresses, as my thighs rub together mercilessly and chaff like nothing on earth...having them crack and bleed was the worst summer I spent!
Wearing tights or 'comfort shorts' doesn't ease the problem either as I seem to get nylon burn instead.
So trousers it is, as of course shorts for me are out of the question, my knees and calf's are so big and pasty that protruding from a pair of shorts they may get mistaken for the worlds largest bratwurst sausages and BBQ'd to feed the 5000!
I have now found that linen trousers keep you pretty cool and Ann Harvey do a few lovely pairs that even fit well ( gasp!) so I can remain covered and cool at the same time...but that's the point really, I don't want to spend the rest of my days covered head to toe, dousing many areas with talc to avoid the rub and not venturing far because of shear heat exhaustion...I want to wear strappy tops and shorts, I want to go swimming and not feel like every one is looking just at me and wondering where they do such big swimming costumes, I want a normal life and a normal summer....so roll on next year and fingers crossed, my first summer as a lighter person!
