The middle aged thread

Ha ha, would never had got that

Recently purchased an electric blanket for my bed. Easily the best purchase in years. Jumping (well, gingerly getting in to) in the bed at night now is not like slipping in between two soaking wet sheets as the room is so cold. Recommend.

Joe Strummer said never wear a pair of shoes you can’t run away in, mind you I can’t really run any more not without a warm up and lots of stretching and I usually pull something even then.

I had one at university. (It helped in one flat where the louver window was stuck slightly open and, without the electric blanket, I'd wake up with frost on my duvet some mornings).

I bloody love my electric blanket. My house is a big old Victorian lump with high ceilings and no real insulation, and when I refitted the bedroom I put too small a radiator in, and the bedroom gets bastard cold. So yeah, it’s wonderful.

Mmmm electric blanket......

Thats anti golf club.

I could do with a stiff joint right, now

You could get hypothermia in that time.

Once on I’ll wear onesie day and night until spring / post lockdown which ever comes first.

Also living alone I’ve got into batch cooking, lentil soup eek this out til the weekend, gonna add chopped up fried grisly bacon on Thursday and Friday, what joy.

I’ve also made enquiry for meals on wheels with newham council.

Lidl Thursday

I did some social services locum work in the Rhondda valley and a woman I saw (who had an SAS who dares wins tattoo on her forearm) called the local meals on wheels “muck in a truck”. On another note I’ve just booked in a hearing test for myself @ specsavers.
Another person I assessed once said “I’ve got tittiness”.

Lidl Thursday

Oh you beauty!

@EB that’s the one I got. Amazing.

I have ended up with two mobile phones last year for all sorts of reasons. Perhaps calling one to find the other misplaced in my house was to only reason, as I start to become absent minded.

I ordered a new pair of trousers and decided to get them a size or two bigger in the waist, as I want them baggy and easy, not like I'm going out anywhere is it?

They fit like a glove. Bleuurgh.

What's worse? They are brown corduroys from John Lewis. The only other item in the order was a couple of packs of socks.

What have I become?

(At least the socks weren't all grey)

Your modern middle aged man gets bright colourful socks to hang onto their zany youth.

I am having to have a lay down on the couch after lunch.

Yep. With Crocs.

Are those fleece trousers?

Nope, moleskin. HebTroCo hipster trousers.

A framebuilding jig. Eventually.

Looks more like moleskin to me (no moles were harmed I’m sure)

Bloody big moles if they were.
