Duvet days
I did it. I bought myself a new duvet! I'd got a Christmas bonus and told myself I was allowed to spend it all on a new duvet - after all I'd be using it eight hours a day for years to come. And it's beautiful. Finest Siberian goose feather and down - reduced in the Debenhams sales from £100 to £50! (I didn't even know it was possible to pay £100 for a single duvet.) I've never had feather before and the first night the duvet felt really thin and I was cold - and disappointed. But after a few nights, as air got into the feathers, it fluffed up and now it's so soft and warm, it's bliss. The soft crackle of feathers as I roll over, and the way it folds around me so crisply makes me feel like I'm wrapped up in one of Vivienne Westwood's gigantic crumpled silk taffeta ballgowns...
