I got up at 7.30, had a shower, got dressed, and had breakfast. It was a cold morning, so I
put on my overcoat and left home about 8.20. When I got to work I took off my coat and
hung it up behind the door. It was hot in the office, so I took my jacket off as well. During

but it didn’t fit me – it was too small and they didn’t have a bigger size.
