    It's good to wear trousers

    I've just spent three days in overalls, painting my house.

    Today, the first stage was completed, when I cleaned up and got back into the kilt it felt soooooo good.
    How I missed the freedom of the kilt even in that time.

    Trousers make one appreciate being kilted....just now and then. :smile:

    I get that same feeling every time I get home from work.
    Not only is the kilt physically more comfortable, but wearing it is a sign that I'm not dealing with work at the moment, and that's relaxing mentally.
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.

    Damn it, Graham! You nearly gave me a heartattack again with your thread title!

    After a nasty cut in the palm of my right hand end of November (comes from assembling a knife without thinking!) I spent a week in hospital wearing sweatpants because I could put them on with one hand - terrible, I tell you.

    On the other hand I was glad to have worn sarong when I cut myself, I bled profusely!

    Ackwell, the title was designed to shock

    Herminator, I hope your hand heals quickly, sorry to hear of the accident.

    Well, IŽm back in the office, no nursing work at the moment! It means that I will get ahead with this part of my work without having to help in the wards! And I was at home for all of december and just started to work yesterday. The children and wife were delighted to have me for themselves for so long, but all the same I would not recommend it!

    Luckily no tendons were cut so I will regain full use of my hand with time!

    Good news about the tendons, but a week in the hospital! Goodness!

    Hope you have a speedy recovery.

    I might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy.
