What a relief that it was on your head. I often forget to take a hat, and lose body heat at an alarming rate. Whereas at night an electric blanket does the job quite effectively. But they don't make electric hats, or do they?

My car alarm used to go off in the car park at work quite regularly, we think it was because of the swirling winds in the quadrangle.

I've always liked concert dresses with a Ginger Rogers swirl to them. They do take a lot of fabric yardage, though.

1963, as I recall, being 12 at the time. And as usual, everyone except me in my class had heard of them. Other people always seem to be at the forefront of news...
I didn't even know the Pope was dead until they'd elected his successor.

The only time I saw Crystal Palace play, I couldn't see a damn thing. We were on the terraces (they had them then) and my then other half supported Chelsea, who they were playing. I hadn't even taken the precaution of injecting an orange with vodka to get me through it.

Joni Mitchell's song, "Chelsea Morning," includes a line that refers to a bowl of oranges. It was Hilary Clinton's favorite song as a college student and is why her daughter's name is Chelsea.

If you have trouble finding your car at a shopping mall from time to time, you probably don't need to worry too much; no doubt that happens to everyone. If you have trouble finding your car at a shopping mall from time to time, because you are looking for the pale blue 1957 Chevy which you traded for a 1961 Impala Coupe, when you should be looking for your 2011 Equinox crossover, maybe consider getting a medical checkup.
