I still have my best black work coat and a black skirt suit (wouldn’t feel comfortable going to a funeral in trousers) and dress.

I have two black coats - neither of which fit - must, must lose some weight

I have a black coat too, Maw. It is probably hopelessly out of date now. What I don't have since I lost weight is a pair of good black trousers.

Sadly, I will need them both next week.

Black dress and black jacket I bought specifically for a funeral which was traditional. I can wear them separately but haven't yet

Do you have one?
I have various “subdued” wool coats but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that I need a black one.

Sadly too many elderly or not so elderly relatives and friends have died, there are too many funerals and being conservative most of those I have attended have been predominantly “black”.
