Just been reading a thread about "Does Appearance Matter?" and wondered what Gransnetters are wearing in lock-down? (This is meant as a lighthearted thread........hopefully it stays that way!!)

My nightie

Right now I am wearing a silver grey silk/cashmere mix polo neck from M and S, bought 2001 for £15 reduced from £80. Fished out of the old clothes box every winter and not yet got rid of, An old denim skirt from M and S (one of several old ones) and some marine blue opaque tights. All over a thermal vest from M and S which is ever so warm.

It’s the middle of the night and I have insomnia of long standing. I’m wearing white nightie and navy with white polka dots dressing gown. Both M n S. A red fleece throw around my shoulders. Pavers slippers with the backs flattened and worn as mules as the neck of them is tight to take on and off. Last year Xmas gift. Note to self ....never buy slippers for anyone smile

Wow Spangler and Mrs Spangler! You do look smart!

Damn, I changed their to there, in "dine there from far and wide," and it still came up their.

We have some friends who run their own pub, it's actually a country inn that's been there since the 17th century. Covid19 restrictions threatened their livelihood so they came up with the idea of becoming a shop.

To give you a picture their village is one of many in The New Forest, just a couple of hundred dwellings in their hamlet, but so popular are their meals, he's a trained chef, that many from other communities, dine their from far and wide.

Being designated as a shop, and as long as they follow the rules restricted to retail, they are allowed to stay open. We shop there for most of our food produce. They are also allowed to serve meals, but it has to be outside, socially distanced.

Hopefully, next August, we will be attending their wedding, and today when we dined their, in the car park, six feet away from everyone else, we wore the outfits that they want us to wear to their wedding. It was good to be out, even with all the restrictions.

Your lockdown hair looks great, MawB
Do you have any tips?

I had to change my trousers. As I went to fill the watering can, the wind moved it, the jet of water hit the edge and drenched me.

Now wearing navy linen trousers
(Oh, not navy again! I hear you cry)

Oh dear, wetting yourself now Callistemon ?the perils of old age.

Leggings, black tunic, push-up bra and a full face of make up. Have had an online meeting today and had to make myself look human.

Is that like crinkle cut chips ?
