I'm turning in to a real grumpy old woman.
Was not at all happy when a woman at a gig on Friday night picked dog hair off my jumper while in the queue for the loo. Yes it was a bit of a mickey take but I should have been more graceful rather than giving her a mouthful.
And not had an argument with the woman in Lidls that barged past me at the exit and nearly tripped me up.
They were good. The real deal, actually all black rasta doing their own genuine stuff.
Most of the Reggae/ska bands we get here in Cornwall are of the ska/rudeboy/white/skinhead derivative, sometimes with one black person often not. Who do only covers. Even UB40, both ones, Ali's and his brothers one, that we have seen here do mainly covers.
It was great to be able to see this band here.

As this is such a small community this end of Cornwall. So could meet them both again.
So last friday night we went out to see a reggae/rasta band in Falmouth. MACKA B & The Roots RaggaThey were good. The real deal, actually all black rasta doing their own genuine stuff.

They were good.
But I had not gone out except to see close friends since my hand operation nearly 2 months ago and not to see a band. Have put on a few pounds due to inactivity, so could not find anything to wear I felt OK in and did not highlight my big belly. So choose a baggy dark Grey tunic with black leggings and a thin black baggy cardi that covered most.
I do take pride in my appearance when I go out.
I try to make the best of what is now crumbling.
But we all age, or will one day. And it is hard sometimes.
All my clothes were clean. All had been washed, put back in my wardrobe and not worn since. I am aware that many of my clothes have animal hair on them. I have 4 dogs, many cats and ponies that are shedding their coats for the summer right now.
So as well as washing my clothes I also spend time de-furring them, before putting them away..
Most at the gig were younger than us, not all but most.
But that's OK it is often the case now. But does add to my feeling self conscious at times.
But I was OK, until I went to the loo and into the bright lights of the toilet.
The 'ladies' was full of mostly younger women, some very high.
But all OK.
Stood in the line and the younger woman behind me - well not that young maybe 35+ but that is still at least 30 years younger than I!! -
Started to pick at the back of my black cardi??
I turned a bit bemused about what she was doing and asked what was she doing and she said 'picking off the dog hairs'!!
Well maybe she meant well? She did add I love dogs??
But .................. another time I would have laughed, had a bit of banter with her. I think that was what she expected?
But it spoiled my evening. I gave her a mouthful.
Yet I think she probably meant well so I now feel bad I did now.
But why do I have to be so unfortunate to have someone do this to me when I am feeling vulnerable?? I would have preferred it last night if she had ignored how I was dressed and the hair and just got on with her own business. As I was trying to do mine.
I looked at my cardi when in the booth. For me the animal hair was very minimal. I'd missed a few but only a very few!
I'm off to Porthleven Food Festival today.
Have no idea now what to wear?
Maybe I will just go with the flow and wear one of my ponies turnout rugs?
