    The sleep must have been needed.  Not so much the cat blanket though :D

    Sorry to hear about your friend. I would wear at least some black unless they specifically ask you not to. At my friend’s funeral last year we were asked to wear red as it was her favourite colour.

    Have you got some black trousers you could wear? With a nice top. If you want a dress particularly could you try Vinted or eBay?

    I dont own anything black or even dark grey apart from one jacket.
    I am worried too late for Vinted or ebay.
