Day 269



That's it.
It's over.
My honeymoon holiday has come to a close.
In a short while from now, I will be on a plane heading back to England and I've totally lost the plot.

Yesterday, I made the bewildering mistake of confusing an illustrated design of Portugal for a tourist attraction in London. Pretty bad, but the madness gets worse.
Today I'm stood outside a Greek castle wearing a T-shirt proclaiming "Paris". That simply makes no sense at all. Oh and I'm amongst foul-smelling donkeys just to really round off the abnormality. The sun and booze have well and truly taken over and it's unlikely that I will recover. Thank goodness it's the weekend tomorrow.

As I didn't have enough birthday T-shirts to see me through the entire honeymoon break, I had to pack one of the THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge donations I'd been sent to cover me for the final day. I opted for this Jacamo design donated by Sarah, fresh from their Label J range. Its bright orangey-peach coloured fabric and full scale photographic imagery are pretty in-keeping with the other tees worn on the trip, so it seemed adequate to bring it along.
As well as the French capital's title broken across two lines in a serif font, this Jacamo design also features a very grainy photograph of the Eiffel Tower and its surroundings, overlapped by two downward pointing triangles - common geometric design elements seen this season.

So with this being my final honeymoon T-shirt, and my return to dreary England on the horizon, all I have to look forward to now is the sheer bafflement on the faces of everyone in the arrivals lounge as I disembark my plane from Greece, bringing tidings from France.

THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE Project

Hi, I’m Andi Best and I’m a regular guy, rising to an irregular challenge.

People tell me I have a lot of T-shirts. These people are not wrong, it’s true, I do.

But one person went as far as to tell me I have so many T-shirts, I could probably wear a different one every day. This is obviously not true, but it got me thinking - what if I could wear a different T-shirt every day? What if I never wore the same T-shirt twice for an entire year?

Challenge accepted

I have created project THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE which, beginning January 1st 2013, will track my pro gress sourcing and wearing a different T-shirt every day for the next 365 days – and I’m going to need your help to do it…
