Hannah's daily gubbins

Ladies and Gentlemen of the internet, enjoy my blog. If I could offer you only one tip for future happiness, dailygubbins would be it. The long-term benefits of reading my blog have been proved by doctors (ie, me), whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will commence this advice now...

Marshmallow girl

Question: If I get one of these jackets for my forthcoming holiday, will I look ridiculous? Due to the fact that we are trekking and camping at altitudes of 5000m, it's apparently going to be a bit nippy and so down jackets are de rigeur. But all the ones I can find look like puffa jackets and so I am worried in case it makes me look like a fat chav. Although this is a proper North Face one, not some cheap rip-off from down the market. Opinions please!

Had a fairly mundane week all in all, made slightly more interesting yesterday when at work we did our regular "hanging out with celebrities" thing when one of Razorlight turned up to share our morning coffee break. For those not in the know, the drummer's dad is one of the other GPs I work with so we do get them popping in from time to time which is usually good fun. Although I was severely chastised later on that day when I mentioned it to a mate who is a big fan of theirs, for not asking if he could sort him out with some backstage passes for Glastonbury. Darling, one does not do that sort of thing! Obviously if I thought there was any chance of that, I'd have been well in there already myself, so please everyone don't bother asking as the answer is no!

My poor car is still in the garage being mended, in fact I haven't heard anything about how long it's going to be. Still got the hire one though but am having to try very hard not to park it under the trees in the staff car park, as I'll be totally embarrassed if I have to give it back covered in bird shit. Talking of cars, there is a new Skoda Fabia that I simply MUST have. Go here and click on the "baking of" documentary, then on "view TV ad". A car (almost like mine) made entirely of cake! I love cake! And so I love my Skoda even more now. I really should get out more, shouldn't I? So it's off to London tomorrow for the weekend before I lose it completely.

Answer: Most Down Jackets, are the puffa type, but if you're going to be at altitude it dowsn't matter what you look like, as long as you are warm and snuggly. I also worry about wearing my Tog24 jacket as I suspect I might just look a little too much like the Michelin Man, but I'm warm & the chavs in their rip off copies are probably freezing their t**ts off, so I don't really care.

In short, go Ahead, get your North Face! Have you tried Gun Wharf Quays for a coat?
