Title: Trousers on
Post by: Beardy on 28 September, 2023, 08:35:42 am: I’m wearing trousers (well jeans) for the first time this autumn and it’s a bit horrid. It doesn’t help that I had to be a little hasty in order to catch my first train and so warmed up quite a bit.

I really ought to stick to my instincts. Oh, and not decide to suddenly catch the earlier train ‘because I can’.

Post by: Cudzoziemiec on 28 September, 2023, 09:12:37 am: Nah, always catch the earlier train if you can, because the later one might be cancelled or delayed.

As for trousers, I have been wearing them on and off the last few weeks (not jeans, summery trousers that get soaked right through when it rains then dry quickly) but today I'm going to have to trudge around town a bit so I'm in shorts. Several layers on top half though.

Post by: Cudzoziemiec on 28 September, 2023, 09:37:30 am: Also, sandals for riding, cos they fit better and avoid lace entanglement, with socks for ~~warmth~~ Vogue cover appearances, but shoes for footing.

Post by: Mr Larrington on 28 September, 2023, 10:34:39 am: I wore 'em last Friday because æroplane but not since. But I will today, because gig.

Post by: Beardy on 28 September, 2023, 11:12:10 am: That’s the reason I’m wearing mine today. Now waiting airside at stansted for a aeroplane to Newquay. It’s cheaper than using the train, although the buses from Newquay to Helston will extend the journey time to about the same as using the train.

I hate modern airports. You can’t see the planes from inside the terminal. 😡

Currently sitting at the gate at Charles de Gaulle, from where I can see lots of aircraft.

Well yes, once you get to the gate, but how long do you spend at the gate under normal circumstances?

Post by: Cudzoziemiec on 28 September, 2023, 12:34:26 pm: Back home, glad I was in shorts, had to take a layer off the top. Out trudging again shortly, unless I put it off to tomorrow. But for tonight's bsl class I'll probably be in my Swrve 3/4s cos it's predicted to rain.

Post by: Peter on 28 September, 2023, 12:44:53 pm: I think almost everybody ought to consider other people before deciding to wear shorts or 3/4s.

Post by: Peter on 29 September, 2023, 01:40:04 pm: Ah, yes - I'd forgotten about beards! Shorts AND beards. It's all so Rugby Union. Mind you, they tend not to wear sandals. Where do you stand on tattoos?
Title: Re: Trousers on
Post by: Mr Larrington on 29 September, 2023, 02:06:25 pm: Definitely long trousis today because Professor Larrington's gaff is bloody freezing even though it’s nice and sunny outside. Guess who hasn’t brought a jumper? May have to put on my denim jacket, aging rockers for the use of.

Post by: Cudzoziemiec on 29 September, 2023, 02:16:30 pm: If the tattoo is on the rugbist's foot and they're wearing sandals (no socks), then you can stand on it. I believe this is legal and positively encouraged by the rugball footer union.
Title: Re: Trousers on
Post by: T42 on 29 September, 2023, 03:19:26 pm: Shorts & t-shaped shirt today & the next few ditto by the look of it.

Re rugby and tats, you can stand on them anywhere the ref and the beady eyes-in-the-skies can't see. It's all good clean fun, innit?

Well spotted, Cudz. I'd missed that one!

Post by: HTFB on 29 September, 2023, 03:35:11 pm: I've been in shorts all day because I forgot to pack my trousis, and my towel, this morning. I hadn't held back on the ride in, either, and I suspect I'm a bit strong. Fortunately it's dead in here even for a Friday, so everyone can keep a respectful distance. Doubly fortunately it's my last day in the job.

Post by: robgul on 29 September, 2023, 05:20:53 pm: Trousers? - I'm reckoning on another 3 or 4 weeks in shorts (although I will have to don a suit next Weds for a funeral - that said, it's my brother and I'm sure he'd have preferred everyone in shorts!)

Pints then?

Post by: ElyDave on 01 October, 2023, 07:31:52 pm: Not yet, unless I have to go into the office and pretend to be a big boy
Title: Re: Trousers on
Post by: Pickled Onion on 01 October, 2023, 07:51:27 pm: Shorts in the office for the last 18 months. They keep it way too warm in there.

Trousers a few days outside the office last winter when it snowed.

Post by: The Family Cyclist on 01 October, 2023, 08:04:42 pm: Outside of when I need to wear long shorts or trousers as some people call them its shorts from when BST is in effect.

Although actually had to put in longs when camping in August due to biting bugs and at the end of March as was camping, was wet and about 6 or 7 degrees

I've not donned long strides since the beginning of 2020.

Post by: Jurek on 02 October, 2023, 04:19:32 pm: The Aircon is the only way in which we get fresh air into this building. It hasn't worked since last Thursday.
It's like a sauna in here.

Post by: quixoticgeek on 03 October, 2023, 02:57:49 pm: Decided to wear tights under my skirt today cos it was cold and pissing it down this morning.

Now the rain has stopped and I'm too hot.

Post by: Cudzoziemiec on 03 October, 2023, 05:16:25 pm: Went to the vegetablemonger about 8 this a.m. in shorts but three top-half layers. Some people were in shorts and tees, others in winter coats. Temperature according to Met app was about 14. People are various, as is their reading of and reaction to weather. Got a bargain cauliflower which I'm know wondering how best to cook.
Title: Re: Trousers on
Post by: Cudzoziemiec on 10 October, 2023, 11:57:37 am: Shorts on Sunday, quite warm. Shorts most of yesterday. Definitely trousers today.

And I made a cauliflower and chickpea curry, in case you were wondering.
Title: Re: Trousers on
Post by: Mr Larrington on 10 October, 2023, 12:42:46 pm: Popped out to the corner sklep just now. Definitely still shorts & T-shaped shirt weather.

Post by: Regulator on 10 October, 2023, 01:06:06 pm: I only tend to wear long trousers for formal work or council meetings.

Post by: Beardy on 11 October, 2023, 12:07:48 am: I’ve been wearing shorts, sandals and Hawaiian shirt for the past few days, and when I’ve wandered away from the homestead I’ve felt the need to don my Panama hat. It’s well into October ffs, in Britain. It’s supposed to be autumn.
Title: Re: Trousers on
Post by: Cudzoziemiec on 11 October, 2023, 08:44:00 am: It's definitely autumn. Yellow leaves, colourful berries. I ate some sloes (or perhaps they were damsons) from a hedge on Sunday.
