It was very nice that several of you, my dear friends, commented on how smart I looked wearing my red coat in the previous post.
Well no doubt it looks OK in the photos, from afar, especially as Gail has not yet bothered to work out how to get high definition pictures on the blog... But the truth is, this coat is now over 10 years old, and so worn and frayed that I am almost embarrassed to wear it.

See what I mean? Just imagine if I had bumped into one of the Queen's corgis at Balmoral last weekend....
I have hinted before that I need a new coat. So far to no avail. I fear that Gail thinks it a waste to invest any money in garments for an elderly dog like me.
How mean is that??
