I would like to think that the weather had turned, but you would find that if you work nights, as I have been these last few months, the mornings are as cold as the day is warm. Thanks for reviving the thread.Finally the weather has turned

Back to school for me today, I spent eight hours, bored out of my box, doing what's known as a module. It's a refresher course that covers all the legal driving hours that truck drivers are permitted to do. It also covers all the safety aspects and the most regular infringements like overloading. I had done it before but back in my day there wasn't the distraction of phones, two way radios, satnavs or onboard computer screens.
My shirt and hat came in for some teasing. The late George Melly was a popular jazz singer, broadcaster, raconteur, wit and lover of the fedora.
Hey George, was the not too original remark of one of my classmates. Mind you, he was impressed that I was a fan of George, told him that I took his remark as a compliment. But the shirt kept getting remarks like, dodgy. The pants with turned up cuffs and the two tone shoes came in for some teasing too. Hey-ho, who cares?

When I get the chance, I must show you the lounge pants in a material known as Birds of Paradise that Tina, my wife has made for herself. I'm inspired to wear my own Birds of Paradise.

Great compliment, thank you. The lady goes all coy when I pass on any compliments. About the best response you can get out of her is: "Aw, shucks."

Sticks and Stones are implements of the feeble minded.

Now that is a saying that's worthy of note. I shall commit it to memory and draw upon it whenever some moron thinks that their insulting remark is funny. Only problem is, the feeble minded are usually of an intellect that excludes them from understanding the definition of feeble minded.

Tina has made me just the pair of trousers for an Hawaiian shirt/Fedora hat combo. 1930's Oxfords, bags of room, (in their day they were known as baggies.) Esther is making a straw hat to both wear on a hotter day and to compliment Tina's talent.

Great vintage look. That shirt is a real keeper.

We have friends from London calling today, there's a classic car show in nearby Burley that we are taking them to. Afterwards we shall enjoy Sunday lunch together at a rather good gastropub called The Old Beams. Tina, as always, is still getting ready, leaving me to make sure the MG looks it's best. A recycled photo, but this today's attire for me, how I love this shirt.

The trousers are superb.
Any way she could be persuaded to make a pattern that can be sent snail mail? {wink wink nudge nudge}

Scotty, all you need is Simplicity Retro 8952. Tina made the trousers as per the pattern except the width of the leg. Mine are twenty two inches, the pattern's eighteen.
If it's out of print, check E-Bay.

If you think hats are addicting...Today I made a milestone in my life. I bought my first Hawaiian shirt!
