Do you might have “at dwelling” garments and “going out” garments? or is that simply me.
23 years on a smallholding with animals, gardening and wooden fires would not have labored properly for ‘good garments’ and I nonetheless put on outdated stuff at dwelling and do a fast change for going out for procuring and so forth. Going out garments do not get washed each time, in the event that they’ve solely been worn for a few hours – they get hung at one finish of the wardrobe for subsequent time I would like one thing tidy for only a whereas.
Among the older issues I put on at dwelling are from charity outlets, particularly tee-shirts and tunic tops though it will get more durable to seek out issues when the financial state of affairs is tight as folks have a tendency to not purchase so many new issues and subsequently have much less to donate.
I’ve bought a few actually thick excessive neck jumpers/sweaters or no matter they’re referred to as the place you reside however not often put on them now – simply too sizzling. I will not eliminate them as a result of the second I do would be the winter of an enormous freeze.
I purchased a few hoodies a number of years again however they’re cotton/polyester, and fairly skinny and never very heat and I wanted one thing between too heat and never heat sufficient and actually favor cardigans that may be slipped on and off, buttoned up and un buttoned BUT have you learnt how troublesome it’s to seek out one thing heat with buttons. They’re all what are referred to as edge to edge or in the event that they do have buttons they have a V neck, are very quick or an odd old-persons color (beige!)! I ultimately discovered one thing at Cotton Merchants however I am positive I needed to pay further for the buttons!
Coats are one other drawback – too thick for procuring or too skinny for a day trip in winter. I purchased a brand new zip up heat coat with a hood final yr after searching for one thing hotter than a skinny jacket for a number of years and that has been excellent for a lot of issues however nonetheless a bit too sizzling in outlets.
The issue is actually that I do not like looking for garments or spending an excessive amount of cash or travelling miles to seek out one thing.
I ought to actually dwell someplace the place shorts and tee-shirts could be OK all yr spherical.
Again Tomorrow

Heavy rain once more and the flood water on the backside of my street was even worse yesterday than the week earlier than. Most drivers turned spherical and went again, fortunately. No method in or out of the village in a standard automotive once more for the second time in two weeks, one thing I used to be informed had by no means occurred earlier than. I did not exit – glad to be at dwelling protected.
