My DS says I'm old and eccentric

Thermal T shirt, thick jumper, thermal leggings with fleece trousers over them , thick socks. Heating on spasmodically.
This is normal as far as I’m concerned.
When I sit down to watche tv I’ll have a warm blanket over me with a hot water bottle. Bliss!

I think my response to such a son comment would be along the lines of, well you're young and silly.

Eccentric is a massive compliment as far as I'm concerned

oh yes - and accepted with pride and joy.

What has wearing layers got to do with eccenticity?

I'm wearing a short-sleeved cotton t-shirt, a long-sleeved cotton roll neck, a thin acrylic jumper, and a thick Norwegian cardigan. I have two pairs of socks on (one cotton, one vicuña wool) and some ancient elk-leather mocsasinny things.

I also have a blanket around my feet.

Heating's on but I've let the wood-stove burn down.

This is standard wear indoors for me all winter unless I'm busy with something physical.

Whadyamean, it's a lot to wear indoors? 😁

What is wrong in being considered old and eccentric? Our children have been saying we are eccentric for decades.

In fact when DS was 14 he came home from school one day and said to me 'I am so glad I have eccentric parents' and wandered off. It quite took me by surprise, I thought we were fairly run-of-the-mill.

However both children, now AC, seem to think we are eccentric - and consider it a virtue. So I have given up wondering why and just accept it.

AS for age - that is a matter of fact. If you are over 60, you are in the last third of your life so you are old.

So Romola take it as a compliment. If it is any help, I am dressed almost exactly as you are, the stove is lit and take no notice of anything your DS says.

You are wearing quite a lot of clothes for indoors. My husband wears t-shirts in the house. Our heating is on from 8am to 9pm.

I'm wearing a thermal vest, cotton roll-neck and a really thick cardie. also thick socks and tights under a warm skirt. The central heating is on and I'm not cold.

That's a lot of clothing to be wearing indoors - and you have the heating on so I'm not surprised that you're not cold!
