Complete pig  and …not nice day…if it could go wrong it has gone wrong.  So no sketching. So this is a golden oldie of a Golden Oldie about what I used to get up to in the olden days.  I did bop in the Cavern to the famous four, I did spit in my mascara ,I did wear mini skirts…wow good times.  Not telling you which of these three was me.

Fab golden oldie Sylvia - those were the days!   Sympathise with your bad day, am having loads too having been diagnosed with Shingles as a result of the Moderna jab (yes really) and Jan has been a fog of chronic pain.  Roll on Feb!

I recon it’s you in the red dress Sylvia. So sorry to hear that you are having a bad time with your heating .  Heather his awful your New Year has been so far, I hope thing settle down soon and you have a better time. Shingles can be so painful , I think unless you have had it you don’t realise.

A great sketch, Sylvia. I used to back comb my hair to oblivion, spit in my mascara, wear the highest heels I could buy, wear short skirts that I’m sure we’re bordering on indecent…..those were the days!

Shingles is utterly horrible - my father had it, my (younger) brother had it, and as I have the rubella virus tucked away in my system (which was presumably awoken by your vaccination Heather) I'm likely to get it too - but so far, I've avoided it.  Virtue's reward, I expect.... Best wishes in getting over it.   Sylvia - I had imagined a Convent School background, a Coming Out Ball (would have a slightly different meaning today), a chaste courtship, and thereafter domestic respectability.   Instead, I discover you were flaunting your suspenders in the Cavern Club, and positively inviting the lewd and the low - which could so easily have led to the censure of all right-thinking people, rendering you a hissing and a by-word and quite possibly a Fallen Woman. The shock is positively painful to one of my exquisite sensibilities.   I hope you overcome whatever your difficulties may be, but can one gently suggest that it's probably God's Punishment?

Great post Sylvia and super sketch, I remember my best friends mum, spitting in her mascara, that thought brought back memories of a time gone by. I wonder are you in the red dress. Heather, hope you feel better very soon.

Great sketch Sylvia!  I bet your skirts were not as short as mine!  I used to wear a tees shirt dress, that was meant to be worn with jeans or a mini skirt, but I didn’t bother.  I did have the over the knee boots though to lessen the visible legs. These days though girls look as though they are knock-kneed and shivering as they wait in queues outside night clubs and cinemas.  I keep meaning to do a sketch of their stance, but it needs to be in either Quintin Blake or Lewis Cooper style.
