Meanwhile I take the bus out along Dhekelia Road to Mario the tailor's with the corduroy bought in London. Mild panic yesterday as I fail to locate the fabric.
Jane: You must have accidentally thrown it out with the rubbish.
Me: Not possible. The package was the size and weight of an old Sunday Times [or New York Times].
Eventually discovered at the bottom of a suitcase previously (and obviously badly) searched. Actually, discovered using time honoured method of searching for something else. So jacket now underway.
