SNUGGLE UP AND FLY RIGHT

I have always had a weakness for the ridiculous and, more seriously, a bit of an online shopping habit, and the two - it has become apparent to me - can be effortlessly combined.  My latest example of this compulsive marriage is evidenced by my most recent and risible acquisition - a Slanket.  Yes, you did read right, and no it isn't as funny as it sounds.  A Slanket, you see, is a blanket with sleeves (what else could it be, now you come to think of it?) and is so obviously the answer for those who plan to spend their winter weekends sofa-bound and cosily cocooned. I, however, have other plans.  In December I am going on a book tour of the States, and have used this as justification for the purchase of a Travel Slanket.  This is a bit shorter than the regular version (which might trail a bit in train corridors or airplane aisles), comes with its own carry-bag and is cheaper.  And I can't really see that anyone other than a rather tall male would require anything bigger to be honest.  I am going to try and stop myself wearing it in the house, as I fear I might never get properly dressed again if I did.
