My school sports uniform went through a few changes while I was there. The oldest uniform was a dress with pleated skirt in a tiny houndstooth blue and white check. The four large pleats (two front, two back) had inserts of red fabric. The next one, which I owned, had a tunic top and pleated skirt in the same blue and white houdstooth check. The skirt, also pleated as the former one piece dress had been, also had red fabric inserts, and the same red fabric trimmed the bottom edge of the tunic top in a 3” wide band. Then they introduced a truly hideous uniform, which I am so glad I didn’t have. It was a tunic top and shorts. The shorts, which were a darkish teal colour, were like a cross between bloomers and shorts in that they kind of fluffed out and then were gathered into a cuff band at the bottom of the leg. The tunic top was fire engine red, with a 3”-4” diagonal band across the chest going from the left hip up to the right shoulder iirc. The band was turquiose coloured, and there was a row of yellow rick rack on either side of it. No idea how anyone could think that was in any way attractive.

Google frequently sends videos or collages. A recent one included my late dog Fred. My husband was eating ice cream and told him to stay. It was a running joke between them. DH would say, “ I see you.” and Fred would duck back.benind something. I was upstairs when I heard this interaction and snapped this photo. And, yes Fred did get some ice cream. Still makes me laugh.
