I hate the idea of having to wear a face mask, but I am going to need to catch a bus into town very soon as I think my sister in law is tiring of picking up my presctiption for me once a month.
So - and this is the funny bit - I ordered a couple of colourful face masks off the internet. I thought, if I'm going to look like a complete turnip, I may as well look like a colourful turnip!! I'd seen the website recommended in my Sunday newspaper.
So, they arrived. One pink, one blue and quite pretty material. I tried putting them on - and couldn't for the life of me (and it could come to that!) figure out how the damn things were supposed to go on. I admit I'm not the most practical person on this earth, but I expected two loops to go around two ears - preferably one on either side of the head which is the usual arrangement!
Instead, they have two bigger, elasticated loops which, it would appear (but I'm still not sure!) both go around your whole head, at different levels. I suppose one level could skim the tops of my ears!
Honestly, I'm now studying everyone who comes on the tv wearing a face mask and they ALL have loops over their ears. I can't see any with the 'whole head' set up! I have spent the time trying them on either doubled up with laughter or tutting to myself because they don't half mess up your hair!!!
I'm hoping someone on here might have the code for wearing these things and then I'll feel even more of a turnip!! Otherwise, I'll just fish my old tartan scarf out of the cupboard and wrap that round my head when boarding the bus, at which point the driver will probably think he's being mugged by an ancient *Bay City Roller fan!! Plus, it'll probably be a day when its 90 degrees in the shade and I'll pass out from heat exhaustion!!
Plus, however you wear these face mask thingies, are you supposed to be able to actually breathe in them? They're terribly claustrophobic!
Sorry - had to share....
* I'd like to make it perfectly clear that never, at any time, was I a Bay City Roller fan!!
