I do not like going out.

I have been to one formal occasion in the past three years – to be awarded a medal at Government House.

I ordered a suit to be tailored. It was fitted and adjusted three times. It was NEVER right but in the end I ran out of time for try-ons and had to take the garments.

The suit cost A$590. Then there were accessories.

On the night:

The coat was too big.

The pants were too loose and the belt was faulty. My pants kept threatening to fall to my ankles and I had to keep hitching them up.

The shirt was way too big and its sleeves far too long.

I felt like a dork and the next day, gave the suit and shirt to the Red Cross.

Now I hate going out at night and with very few exceptions, stay home.
