An article in the DT this morning suggested that 6 is the ideal number for many things- the writer suggests people for a meal, that’s predictable enough.

Or 6 good friends -?

Or jeans for instance - for me that would be 1x dark denim which fit,1x mid-indigo which fit, ( and the same again which I might get into again one day ) plus 1 pair black and 1 pair white .
Anyway it got me thinking.

The school summer holidays always used to be 6 weeks long.

Boots - looking in the cupboard - 1 x black furry comfy, 1 x brown furry comfy, 1x blue suede also furry and comfy, 1x black smart, 1x brown smart, 1 x long knee length which I never wear because I live in trousers but they are too good to chuck!

Can you think of any more?

I have six pairs of Hotter sandals, several of them are now well worn. I'm not sure how to dispose of them. Do I take them to a charity shop or put them in the bin?

I have had 6 cats in the 21 years that I have lived in this house. Sadly only 2 remain.

Thinking of items which come in sixes. Does anyone else re-arrange the eggs in a six box when they remove one/some so that they form a symetrical pattern. GCs think I am wierd! blush
