I remember a pair of stretch cord leggings that I wore in Greece. They weren't the most flattering garment but they were sooooo comfortable, I wore them until they disintegrated. Here they are, walking up through the fields back to our lodging.
I have night clothes that are comfortable old favourites and I wait until they are full of holes and Neil has to beg me to throw them out and buy new.
I have had a great day today, getting all my admin work done early, seeing Jacob who finished tiling work, in fact the toilet is finished, just a few extra jobs in the bathroom. I will post before and after pictures for your enjoyment in a few days' time. Neil changed some light fittings round for me so I have the bright light where I need it. The house is tidy and Neil is making pizza for dinner (Neil's pizzas are the best in the world, believe me).
We watched a new TV crime drama (Blindspot). Not too sure about it, so I will probably watch the next episode. It is most unusual for us to watch something together, I enjoyed that moment.
Glass of wine, no music - catching up on emails and facebook.
Now to get into my schmatte and dressing gown, ready for bed

Aha !! This is not an obscure term in Hindy's world. Schmattes is what she calls her collection of rags in a bag. They are former ragged garments, now torn into what I would call rags and she calls schmatte. Used for cleaning windows, wiping up spills, polishing, you name it. Milk spills in the kitchen and she will say "get me a schmatte"!. Wonder if it has a German/Polish/Yiddish background (etymology).
ReplyDeleteStill can't believe you had nothing for propinquity...
Yes, from the yiddish shmate meaning 'rag', from the polish szmata. In english since mid 1900s
