Holidays are looming for
Georgina, Joe and me. Means only one
thing for me. Panic! Only ever had to worry abut me before. Buy a few t-shirts, a couple of pairs of
shorts. “Bish! Bash! Bosh! Job done!”
Not now. There is so much to get
organize in such a short space of time.
Just to make it a bit more complicated we are all going to far flung
parts of the world; Georgina is away for a week whilst I’m in Australia and
Joe’s leaves for Malia the day after I return.
The first installment of getting
sorted started last Saturday: clothes
shopping for Joe. Although this is a
rare event it is nonetheless very tortuous.
Lets say Joe has very specific tastes in clothes. On the whole clothes have to be blue, grey or
white; no labels or brands on the clothing; finally the style has to be plain -
nothing that stands out. Having had a
rummage through Joe’s wardrobe it became apparently clear he had very few
summer clothes. If I’m honest he had
been neglected on that front due to the circumstances and he had outgrown much
of his wardrobe.
Now this sounds very simple. However, we live in a world of huge designer
brands that are very stylish and brash. There
was no way I was facing this adventure on my own. Joe’s aunty Karen was summoned to take on the
challenge. She was very patient especially
as almost every suggestion was met with “no”, “too short”, too long”. However, despite my fears my lovely son is
now kitted out for his holidays. House
of Fraser, Top Man and Next were really good.
Below is his kit list for holidays:
4
Pairs of shorts for the night
2
Pairs shorts for the day
2
pairs swim shorts
Flip
flops
Shoes
7 tee
shirts for the night
2 t
shirts for day
7
pairs of boxers
2
beach towels
Paracetamol
Sunglasses
First
aid kit
Sun
cream
Joe has only got to buy some shoes, flip-flops
and sunglasses which will be done over the next few weeks. Good start.
Well done Joe and of course Aunty Karen. Got to say Joe looks cool!
