What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[Smithy]

The fruits of my loins (ie sprogs) have infected me with the flu or bloody Corona, therefore I have spent the entire day mooching around in pajamas and a dressing gown. I'm hitting the scotch now which should either cure me or kill me.

This then is the inaugural post for VLJ's possible "What dressing gown are you wearing today" thread which obviously would be enormously popular.

Sorry I look a little glum but I feel like 10lbs of shit stuffed into a 5lbs bag. Hopefully the Celtic water will put me on a more even keel in a wee while.

Hang in there Tim !
Better days are just around the corner!

Judging by how the scotch is going down I'd put that at minutes rather than days!

Large aside Tim I'm liking your innovation in jacket posts. It's an original idea with legs (or more accurately, arms) - I must find my smoking jacket ... Best of luck with the bugs and the fire water!

That's very nice Burt. That's a Dubow with a lovely colour and texture indeed

Taken at setting sun . It’s not as orange as it looks in this photo. It’s a great looking Russet

FYI, there will be extra points awarded in the "What dressing gown are you wearing?" thread for smoking jackets (only velvet allowed of course). If you also have a fez you go to the top of the class. Decent booze will also be mandatory.

What smoking jackets, smoking caps, monogrammed slippers are you wearing today? What pipes, Chesterfield sofas, wingback armchairs, fireside rugs are you using today?

The possibilities are endless.

Decent booze? Standards must apply obviously.

But Saints preserve me from autocorrect. I meant to say "Lurgi aside" but clearly this flippin' talking abacus has never heard of a disease I believe was invented by Spike Milligan

What smoking caps... What pipes...

Caps? New one on me. Examples?

I'm not a smoker (tried premium cigars some years ago, but hated how my mouth tasted the next morning), but one memory I have from my (American Irish) grandfather is his smoking a pipe, so I salvaged his pipe stand/humidor and 2 pipes before the daughters could sell them at a garage sale.

Prized possessions my wife only pretends to understand.

You see? I told you chaps that the dressing gown thread would be an enormous success. As you sagely opine the possibilities are endless Steve!

So long as no-one passes the port to starboard or blows their nose on the curtains we should be in for a distinguished ride.

First I’ve heard of them too. I can’t even pull off a crusher let alone that lid.

My hermit like lifestyle seems to be paying off as I have yet to endure the displeasure of Covid. Hope it passes quickly for you.

The problem with my offspring is that because they are at school they bring every condition, malady and disease home with gay abandon.

We've had nits, ring worm, chickenpox, mumps, flu, Corona.

I'm just waiting with baited breath for cholera, typhoid, Ebola, St Vitus Dance and anything else that happens to be floating around there.
