Friday Fooling Around. . .

Just another boring day here at Totleigh-in-the-Wold. The dynamic duo at rest. Relatively speaking.

The Young Master suggested that we fool around with the camera this afternoon to fill a few idle moments. Here are the results.

By the way, we have, apparently, been driving The Grand Duchess crazy during the last several days with our madcap approach to life in the time of Corona. Since yesterday afternoon, Young Paul and I have been under strict instructions NOT to be funny. You can probably guess how that has turned out.

A blue blazer scolding of The Young Master, who puts on his best dyin' winnard (short for The Winchat Bird. A phrase used daily by my maternal grandmother who was of Cornish stock).

Please don't cane me Sir! I was led astray!

The real star of the show by himself here. The photos above of the poor, sad boy and the mean father were his idea. Between the two of us, we drive The Grand Duchess crazy with our rather warped senses of humor.

The Problem of "Business Casual" Attire. . .

This is how it's done. Business Casual the RIGHT way, ladies and gentlemen. Even during the summer months. A photograph (taken by Studio B Portraits ) which appeared in 425 Business Magazine in May 2017. T his post on the problem of business casual dress began as a quick postscript to a previous blog entry last week but quickly grew and grew as additional thoughts occurred, were developed in more detail, and revisions made.

"If you see something you want. . ."

The above photograph has been "borrowed" from the J. Press website. "I f you see something you want," advised my late mother, "buy it. It won't be there when you go back later." A favorite (and wise) adage hers that I still follow whenever possible. So when this item appeared on clearance at J. Press, I mulled it over for a couple of days, and then clicked the requisite boxes to make the online purchase. Should be here within the week. Once upon a time, I had a similar jacket by Corbin that I foolishly purged before we left Central Illinois ('Illi-noir' anyone?) for Michigan almost 10 years ago. Not sure what I was thinking at the time since I did like the item and wore it routinely. This one will be a bit nicer and help me make sartorial amends. At least to myself. -- Heinz-Ulrich
