Getting knotted

12Aug10

Nine days to go – and today I will buy a tie.

My tie will match the colour of MOB’s dress (I hope). So we will co-ordinate while posing for photgraphs and sitting at the top table.

I haven’t brought MOB’s dress down to London with me, but I did think ahead and have brought a small item which, to my untrained eye, matches the colour of the dress.

All I need to do now is match my colour sample with a tie.

One advantage of working in the City of London is that there are no end of shops full of suits, shirts and ties, so yesterday I scouted around looking for suitable silk candidates.

One disadvantage of working in the City of London is that there are no end of shops full of incredibly expensive suits, shirts and ties, and I am not inclined to spend just under £60 for a tie.

So tomorrow I will cast my net slightly wider and hopefully locate yet more purveyors of silk neckwear of an appropriate shade of colour at reasonable prices.
