Hippy Chick
Oh, Richard, you really shouldn't. No, I mean it, you really shouldn't.

If you've been paying attention, you might remember that I posted some birthday presents to Stense on Saturday.

Well, Stense was so excited by my enormous packet that she simply couldn't contain herself any longer: she started opening her presents early! Not all of them, you understand; just three.

And what did she find when she tore open her second present? Something that can only be described as a Hippy Chick Kit. (It's an extremely tired private joke, don't ask.)

Stense was so delighted with her present that she texted me a photograph of herself wearing her new hippy garb.

I've decided to buy her a nurse's uniform for Christmas. (Hey, it's worth a shot!)

Note to Stense: Now I know I might have sort of implied that there was no way on Earth that the above photo would end up being published on Gruts, but I might have sort of totally lied too. I have my public to think about. Learn to live with it, and mellow out, dude!

Oh, and Happy Birthday, by the way! You don't half scrub up well for an old girl.
