meetin' someone for lunch today
today, as it's still surprisingly warm & nice here i'm in the summer mood, perhaps for the last time this year.. so it goes:
a white w/ navy/rfed/pale yellow plaid check madras-esque 3bd (gant) / slightly bootcut sand cords (no name off high street) / red socks (falke) / burgundy weejuns / matching (ish) belt / same jacket + shades as yesterday. not really autumn season stuff but felt like this today so what the heck. and the weathewr is b----y warm & nice. now back to work from lunch w/ mrs, then a glass of rather nice chianti + a few cups o' not that nice finnish coffee with mates, couldn't care less about work just now!
Grazie mille, Jesmond!
Alex, Dean Belcher did an excellent job with the pics, indeed.
Re: Playboys, the day the pic was taken (last February) I was wearing almond-toe laceups, today it's a pair of choco brown Clark's Desert Mali, closest thing to Playboys I could get:-)
Heikki, I'm having a glass of Chianti too, cheers!:-)

When did the ol' Candy stripe change its name to the University stripe? 90s sometime?
