It's overcast today, and there's no sign of the temperature rising anytime soon. My dad made off with a pair of wool socks from me since he doesn't have any decent winter garments, other than his tweed jacket. He has no parka, no thermals – nothing at all. This is a common occurrence here, with people getting caught off guard. To my surprise, my wool socks stretched enough to fit his feet. I just hope he doesn't get any funny ideas about borrowing my coats, after all, twill doesn’t stretch at all.
