# 23 – Wear a mask for the whole day

I did consider cheating and doing this on Halloween, when I could have blended in with more of the public, but I thought better of it. The mask was a simple purple eye mask (I think based on a bat – but at £1 I didn’t care too much!). I put it on as soon as I woke up, perhaps a mistake as taking a shower in a mask is not advisable! My day was quite chilled but you really have no peripheral vision in masks so I cannot lie, at times I ‘wore’ it on my forehead. My trip to the local Co-Op was interesting. As with the Santa hat experience people were terribly polite, just the odd second glance. The mask overly matched my coat and it did appear as though I was trying to dress like some sort of superhero, perhaps a little embarrassing considering my age and the fact that I’m 9 months pregnant! However, after leaving the Co-op, we had to return to hand in a wallet we found in the car-park – heroic?!?
