Ok, so I may not be the most girly of girls to have wandered the Earth - but I would like to think I can be a little bit feminine at times (when not talking football and swigging pints;) )? So why was it that in wearing a dress today everyone I came across felt the need to express surprise at my apparent 'girliness'...'Hello Kary, you look erm, really nice today' Thanks - but why the element of surprise? 'Miss H! You are wearing a dress! It looks nice! You look like a girl' Yes, I am a girl, always have been! I wear skirts almost all the time, surely a dress isn't all that different?

I didn't mind all this as everyone seemed to think a little girliness was just fine...imagine however, non girly me, inexperiened in the art of girly shoes, wandering around a muddy garden in search of frogs with two small people, sinking further into the mud before discovering the decking. Then getting her heel stuck and having to be held up by the two aforementioned small people as she removed her shoe from the wood. The two small people found this highly amusing as Miss H tried to negotiate the wood, the mud and the stinging nettles and there were no frogs there anyway...just a dead looking water snail. Or perhaps a girly land snail who got her heel caught in the water lillies and tumbled in!?

All I needed was a stupid handbag to complete the picture of PGW patheticness
(not sure that is a word but it fits them perfectly)

Being a girl is too much like hardwork for me.
