Mundane News

Since I retired I don't do smart, other than funerals and weddings, and there's more of the former these days.

Luckily washing my hair takes less time, but cutting the toe-nails is a swine on the back.

As a result of having to be "smart" at work for over 30 years, since retiring I have gone completely the other way!
t-shirts, shorts or in winter tracksuit bottoms, flip flops, sandals and boots for winter. Socks only with the boots. Shave my head because there is hardly any left and use the trim setting to clean up my goatee and take of the guard to clean up the rest! I haven`t used a razor since I retired 6 years ago!
For going out or visits to hospital etc I have some cargo pants with a plain t-shirt. More than smart enough I think. I also have a few fleeces and jumpers, bought for birthday/ Christmas presents and the rest is pretty much all Primark

Had minestrone soup for supper, plus two fried eggs on toast, fried mushrooms (not the punnet that went t*ts up, but some of those big flat cap jobbies), fried tomatoes and sliced avocado, with a dab of sweet chilli sauce on the side.

I'm sure I win the Mundaners' "dressing down" stakes. Am currently wearing a navy blue fleece onesie with monkeys on wearing pink bobble hats, and fluffy pink socks and knackered pink crocs.

New Cat settling in OK, bit of hissing/growling but no 'fur on end' poetry yet.

Not sure if we're fostering or adopting yet, she's Grandaugher No 4's cat but her and her boyfriend have lost their rented house (Landlord is selling up) so they're back with parents and trying to save a deposit to buy somewhere instead of renting. The Cat (Winter) can't stay with them cos of a Dog so how long we've got her for isn't known

You do realize that piccies are mandatory...

I was going to say the same thing about your navy "blue fleece onesie with monkeys on wearing pink bobble hats, and fluffy pink socks and knackered pink crocs"

Surely your imagination can supply a suitable image. I am not getting out my camera and tripod.

Don't mobiles and tablets have cameras built in!

I don't have a tablet, and I'm currently using an original Nokia 3310 as my phone*

* My smartphone is borked, and as I'm currently going nowhere, can't be bothered to replace it right now. Just don't use it enough.

A selfie will do.

An original Nokia 3310 doesn't have a camera

No wonder you get the best yellow sticker offers at your Saturday evening shop!

I wear jeans, fleece and a jacket for that... Onsies no go out of the gate.

Although I *have* seen people shuffling around Tesco in their jimjams...
