Fancy Pants

What a disappointment to find yourself in Marks and Spencer, home of the knicker, and be unable to find a nice set of knickers to cheer yourself up on a grey, January day. There I was, dreaming of something in blue - with little flowers perhaps, or with candy stripes, or even with polka dots if it comes to it, but definitely cotton, definitely 'full' because, let's face it, in these menopausal days you never quite know what might happen next or where or when, but pretty, please, pretty. I mean a girl is still a girl even if she's a middle-aged girl, right?

So instead of 'full', I had to settle for a multipack of high-leg, bikini pants like the ones illustrated here because I really couldn't compromise on the colour.  I am now the proud owner of six brand new, uncomfortable, but stripey purple pairs knickers.I wonder why they talk about a pair of knickers? I never thought about that before. Anyway,  I just thought I'd share this information, in case you thought, after my recent blog posts, that I was beginning to forget all about the menopause or in case, like me, despite the onset of the fifties, you still need a bit of flirty underwear from time to time. And heck ladies, like me, you're worth it.
