CycleChat Investigates - Bed time attire

Dressing gown? Do people really have dressing gowns.

I thought it was only pretentious hotels that threatened to charge you if they thought you'd taken it home by mistake

Yes, I have a dressing gown (actually several, of differing weights to wear at different times of the year). I wear it when I get up in the morning for breakfast, then I get dressed after breakfast.

I also wear it after I have a bath in the evening until I go to bed.

Sounds like Oscar Wilde territory.
Breakfasting in a dressing gown?
Bathing in the evening?

What an inclusive community we are.

Well you have to wear something while your man serves you breakfast, or draws you a bath.

Wheres Oscar Wild fit in? Most days I don't get dressed till after breakfast, if I'm not going anywhere I might not get dressed till dinner time or later, and in the evening I'll change into my dressing gown about an hour before I go to bed.

It's not unheated of for me to turn over in the night nad find a labrador head on my pillow staring back at me (not a mafia style dismembered head, this one still has the rest of Bruce attached.)

If I dare move Madam Lexi, she bites my nose...

No you have dinner in the evening.

No you have dinner in the evening.

Night is supper, early evening is tea time, dinner time is middle of the day, breakfast is morning unless its late morning, then its brunch.

Once a year then?

No wonder the country is in such a mess.

I fink that varies rather depending on what part of the Kingdom you were brought up in (unless you is aristocracy)

For me, middle of the day meal has always been lunch, Dinner is the main evening meal, supper is a late evening snack.

Tea has always been a drink rather than a meal. Though I do understand "afternoon tea" as a snack, it isn't something I have ever really partaken of, given we tend to have dinner quite early (generally between 5 and 6pm)

Always been breakfast, lunch and supper here chez Casa Reynard. And tea is of the afternoon variety in order to fill that gap in between lunch and supper.

Otherwise, it's always been śniadanie, drugie śniadanie. obiad, podwieczorek and kolacja...

Dinner in the evening for us is something we have on holiday, otherwise its tea.

Yes I have 4, a long fleece one for winter, a shorty one, a cotton one for trips away and one in my hospital grab bag which also contains pjs, shorty pjs and a nightshirt the latter if you have a leg injury.
