For reasons that are not relevant, I have for the last two days, had to drive my wife to work at a local Hospital.
Drop her off, and scoot back eight hours later to take her home.
This morning it was (literally) freezing. I walked the dogs at 0400. I was wearing shorts (I know!) and a Gillet, but I am not stupid. I had also put on my big blue dressing gown to keep out the chill.
To any random passing insomniac, it would have looked like I was walking my dogs in the middle of the night in only my dressing gown.
I thought nothing of it.
Fast forward an hour or so, and I have got the car started and 'de-frosting' on the drive.
My wife comes downstairs, resplendent in her Nurse's uniform.
She stops and looks me up and down, as only a wife can.
"You are not taking me to work dressed like that!"
I 'flash' open the dressing gown, to show her I am actually wearing shorts underneath.
"I don't care. You are not driving me to work in your dressing gown! What if you have an accident? What if my colleagues see you? Go and put a coat on please".
I sulk off like a truculent child to do her bidding - but I am not finished yet.
I notice her woolly hat on the side table. I stick it on my head. It looks ridiculous; but that is the whole point. I take a 'selfie' and send it to her with a comment.
I then stroll nonchalantly into the kitchen, and act as if nothing is wrong.
My wife looks at me and shouts:-
"You are not wearing that!"
"Look at your phone" says I.
She does.
If you thought the weather was frosty this morning, think yourself lucky you were not doing a car-share with me...
