Sluttishly Snug: Capers with Capes

Half of Sluttery Towers has been brought to its knees by varying forms of flu and colds in the last week. Luckily, we all swallowed enough dangerous levels of Lemsip to make it to the wonderful launch party for the book on Tuesday night, but still. A weekend in bed when you're too sick to properly enjoy it is rubbish indeed.

I spent most of Monday wrapped up in this marvellous thing from Marks and Spencer.

I'm sure all of you will have Strong Opinions on whether this is a wrap, a cape, a shawl or other, but as I initially bought it to wear as part of a bandit costume, and later wore it to the Batman: Arkham City launch, I am ABSOLUTELY convinced it is a cape.

Of course, when I was poorly and needed to feel all snug and warm, I decided it was a shawl. I pinned it with a nice brooch and stayed in bed necking Nurofen that a kind friend brought me from the shops.This multi-tasking magical bit of knitwear costs £19.50, which is frankly a bargain given that depending on your mood you can be Sancho Panza or sneezy panda.
