the below picture is just pure greatness.

I'm relaxed about it, too... Have two or three pairs of otc socks, but rarely wear them. Couldn't touch sock suspenders, but I know them from old movies.

Actually those are over the calf socks, but they migrated anyway. Cheapies from Lands End, serves me right.

But you're right, I don't really care. I would care if I called socks "hose," though. A wrinkled sock is pretty humdrum, but wrinkled hose sounds like a big problem. "The firemen couldn't save my house because the hose was wrinkled."

^ Yes - they look too pervy by half sock suspenders, it's over the calf to avoid wrinkles for me.

Not as pervy though, as those things that clip to your shirt bottom, travel down each trouser leg, and then clip to your sock tops. That's just wrong - imagine getting lucky whilst wearing those - you wouldn't see her for dust.

Today I'm wearing:

Old dressing gown
Two day's stubble
knackered old t-shirt
pyjama bottoms
vic
duvet

Whiskey is helping.

Who me? It wasn't me! It was due to all the people nice enough to let me post their pictures on my Blog. Trust me there are a lot of people that have been doing it better than me, and for a hell of a lot longer! Thanks for the kind words though.

Beautiful tie if you don't mind me saying Patrick?

Proper Yankee style mate! I don't know why, but I sense a station wagon parked nearby.

Station wagon, yes, but it's a Subaru and has almost attained the peculiar status of "Fish Car" (see Robert Traver's "Trout Madness"). Unhappily, a true Fish Car does not double as the Everything Else Car. I have an old truck that could be the Fish Car but it's out of circulation for the winter.

Small boy, no, but there are a fair number of Buddhists around. They are quiet, not nosy, always in season and easy to clean.

^I live in the self-consciously rustic  NW Corner of Connecticut, which is fairly wild but suffers from proximity to New York City.

I also have a cabin in NY's Catskill Mountains, about 75 miles west, which is far wilder but suffers from proximity to New York City. The advantages of the Catskill town are a) better trout fishing and b) fewer art galleries. The disadvantages are: a) women with more children than teeth, and b) a general economic malaise that began in the 1840s and has steadily disimproved ever since.

The photos are from the latter. I was over retrieving tweeds and flannels from storage, and clearing some brush and crap.
