In touch with my feminine side

Cancer Research UK's t-shirt is pink and purple, so I got some strange looks from Her Ladyship when I went out today to buy matching running shorts. She was on the phone (as you are in SD) but was gesturing animatedly. Pointing at the shorts and then at herself. Shaking her head. Pointing at me and then towards the gents's section. The more I ignored her, the more animated she got. Until eventually she told her friend "I got to go, Tomas is about to but a pair of women's shorts". When I explained that they have very few (as in none) pink shorts for gents she just looked at me and said oh. I hope Birmingham is ready for me, for I am ready for Bitmingham!

Ah, so you ARE getting colour co-ordinated as well. I recall your not being too keen on the idea fairly recently when I discussed matching shoes to pants and tee shirts. Glad you succumbed in the end.

Tee hee

Yeh Tomas well done you. I have a relation battling cancer at this time and I only wear pink tops & carpri with pink stripes for the gym etc. You could add pink sweat bands to your outfit ;) Good luck for Birmingham they will love you because its in a good cause. :)
