» Turning into your parents
It's worse than I thought
Today I went into town to do some shopping, so I put a couple of reusable bags and my shopping list in my handbag and off I went.
It took me longer than it sometimes does because it's a bit rainy today and the wet weather makes my arthritis worse.
It seems that, at the age of 26, I have in fact skipped turning into my parents and turned straight into my grandmother.

Parents with pushchairs
who think they own the pavement/supermarket aisle/any other public walkway. I've just taken a lovely stroll in the sunshine down the high street to the postbox, only to be shoved into the road by THREE women insisting on walking side by side with their pushchairs. These were well-to-do ladies in their late twenties/early thirties, too, not some teenage chav-scum mums who you'd almost expect this behavior from. Bah!

Velvet
I have a huge phobia of velvet. I hate the stuff - it feels like it's alive and crawling beneath my skin. Even thinking about it makes me want to ball my fists up to hide my fingertips away from the possibility of velvet, which makes typing this quite difficult. I used to work in the wardrobe department for a big opera company, who do a fair amount of shows with period costumes - this often means velvet dresses, coats and the like. This caused some moments of extreme discomfort, especially the time I was dressing eight women, all of whom had a long velvet evening gown that needed fastening up the back.
It does, however, cause no end of fun for my friends. They delight in seeing me squirm and recoil in horror as they stroke velvet in front of me. Or in one case, chase me around the building wearing a velvet dress, making me look like I'm trying to escape from a swarm of killer bees.
