Kali, Vampire, Jeni You are not alone even if it may feell like it at times. There are others who understand if you will just let them in. flowers

Come on in. Room for all.
As they used to say about queen Victoria's bloomers .

Or was it the Salvation Army?

Do they wear bloomers under that uniform Jeni? Now I'll always wonder wink

The nuns who taught me did! Used to see them on the washing line at the convent!

The nuns who taught me (briefly - I wasn't the right material!) used to bathe in a special robe (or so they told us) so that they would not see their bodies and be tempted into worldly thoughts. Heaven forfend!

If they had glimsped their anatomy I guess they would have had a nervous breakdown - just trying to get back on topic!!

My dear BIL chose suicide as the alternative to subjecting his wife and children to watching his gradual descent into vascular dementia. Wrong? Possibly. Brave? Undoubtedly.

My Granny used to wear bloomers. I can never see that particular shade of pink without thinking 'Granny's Knickers Pink' grin

Ceesnan our posts crossed. Your BiL made a brave decision sad

Agreed! Kali so did mine, also corsets with laces of the same colour!

Your BIL was very brave.
