Living close to the sea, I walk on the beach quite a lot and yesterday afternoon I got myself all wrapped up and was just heading out when DH said "what on earth? You're not going out in that weather are you?" "why not?" I asked. I admit it was blowing a gale and lashing down with rain, but as they say there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes, (or something like that anyway).

DH then decided that he would come with me. hmm

He then started to look for his hat and gloves (he's not a hat and gloves kind of man) and when he couldn't find them decided he would manage with a coat with a hood. The wind was wild and DH's hood wouldn't stay up and he spent the entire walk muttering that I was mad for wanting to be out in this and where were his bl**dy hat and gloves anyway.

Walk over. A nice glass of winered wine enjoyed with supper and fast forward to bed time moon. I am pottering around down stairs and I could hear drawers and cupboards opening and shutting upstairs. I creep go upstairs and peep around the door. The bedroom looks like a bomb site with all DH's stuff pulled out and there he is sitting on the edge of the bed wearing nothing but his underpants and a Sheepskin Deputy Dog/Sherlock hat with the flaps down ! grin

I just stood there for what seemed like minutes and then burst out into a fit of the giggles that I couldn't get under control. In fact between you and me, I almost wet myself. blush

DH decided that he might "cash in" on my apparent "joy" and got into bed with the hat on..... How wrong can one man be? wink

This has made me laugh so much & reminds me of the sort of daft silly thing my DH would have donegrin

I have got an image in my head & keep laughing, good job there's only me & the cat in the house

That really made me laugh too.

Just as an aside, how lovely that he wanted to accompany you even though the weather was horrible.

My DF was always a smart dresser. He would say to my DM 'Do I look alright in this?' to which she would reply 'You can wear as top hat a jock strap as far as I am concerned'! They were very happily married even though she was rather dismissive of his question.

My late husband always wanted my advice about shirt/tie/jacket combinations for work and usually wandered along from the bedroom with a smart top half but no trousers and the question was, "What do you think?" Every time I had to send him back to put trousers on before I'd tell him but he absolutely always did it!

Hildagard Tue 14-Feb-17 12:21:49

A midlife old crisis? grin
Glad you got flowers anyway.

gillybob Tue 14-Feb-17 11:32:14

Huge Courgettes, Sausage Making, Deputy Dawg Hat and Valentine flowers all in the space of a week!

gillybob Tue 14-Feb-17 11:29:11

Yup.... the very same one roses shock

He hit 65 at the end of last year and I really don't know what has come over him since.... I even got some Valentine flowers this morning so now I am VERY worried.

rosesarered Tue 14-Feb-17 11:07:55

Not completely sure it was Mr Gillybob....?

rosesarered Tue 14-Feb-17 11:07:15

gillybob would this be the same DH that brought home the courgettes recently?!

Lilyflower Tue 14-Feb-17 11:06:17

Hilarious!

My DH is going on a train driver's course and had to send for the appropriate outfit: bib overalls and a new, clean 'scruffy' jacket. It arrived in the post and he put it on straightaway over his nice, work suit. He was grinning from ear to ear like a seven year old and looked like one too.

What is it with men?

Kim19 Tue 14-Feb-17 11:00:09

Lovely; absolutely lovely. That's me sorted for the rest of the day. Thank you so much for sharing that gillybob. Terrific!

Katek Tue 14-Feb-17 10:22:32

Deputy Dawg springs to mind!

Kitspurr Tue 14-Feb-17 10:18:22

Chuckle!

cornergran Mon 13-Feb-17 21:52:15

grannypiper Mon 13-Feb-17 21:17:05

well that put a smile on our faces grin, maybe you need to get him some gloves on a string to go with his hat

NanKate Mon 13-Feb-17 20:56:22

What a laugh Gillybob and your comment Roses had tears running down my face.

Perhaps you would have preferred a bit of shenanigans with Sherlock Holmes arch enemy Moriarty, Gillybob , he looks a bit of a goer grin

gillybob Mon 13-Feb-17 18:47:49

There is no way he's coming for a walk with me wearing THAT hat . With or without trousers Jalima grin

sue1169 Mon 13-Feb-17 15:24:14

????....

Jalima Mon 13-Feb-17 15:20:27

He's all set for your next walk!
But remind him to put some trousers etc on first grin
