I love my Oma! She's my Gran, but because she's German, we call her Oma. But that's beside the point!
when I moved out of my flat, I couldn't fit all my stuff into my room (insert irony here) so I asked if she'd look after some of my stuff for me. She agreed, and much love was felt by me.
Anyway, one of those boxes contained both my scarves. One is ordinary but nice because it keeps me warm, but the other one is truly amazing.
Well, with Britain's recent cold snap, I realized I could really do with, well, either of them, so I asked Oma if she'd look for one of them for me. But she didn't.
She looked for and found both. She packed them into a bag, along with one of my games, a comic book my 'good' tie (I got it free with a shirt, but I've not told her that), and a T-Shirt I forgot I owned. But the point of this entry is...the none ordinary scarf. It's a replica of one of the ones Tom Baker wore during his time as the Doctor!
it's fourteen foot long and is very warm. In other words, it's PERFECT for this weather and, when combined with my military coat (which a nice drunk lady offered to buy off me last night so she could sell it on eBay) and my crutches, makes me look rather...ecclectic! Unfortunately, people who know me expect me to look ecclectic (one of my lecturers at Uni once said "On anyone else, that scarf would look ridiculous, but that I could pull it off) so it's lost a bit of impact, but its still warm and lovely!
Learning from Tom Baker, I mostly store excess length of the scarf in my pocket with my wallet, mobile, iPod and sonic screwdriver. Thank You, Paul Parkes, for buying the scarf for me (i don't have an eBay account, so I bullied him into buying it for me - But I feel I must point out I paid for it)
Live Long and Prosper.
