Seemingly trivial things that cheer you up

So you do a bit of bike fettling then think I will just go for a ride to test it. Then you realise you are wearing your Levi’s, Chino’s or your best tweed trousers. So rather than get oil on the trousers of your choice you tuck them in your sock. Or do you have black streaks on the bottom third of your pants.

This issue is solved by shorts, or broats.*

Does tucking my vest into my pants help ward against ticks? Makes going for a pee a bit tricky though.
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

Just needs the knotted hanky to complete the look.

I do actually own a pair of lederhosen, but only for the sake of playing in oompah bands in bierkellers. Once you've borrowed an anonymous pair that was probably last washed sometime in the previous decade (and six sizes too big), there is a certain incentive to buy your own.

Leather boots and socks are the new open toe sandals and socks. A free copy of the Guardian with every purchase 🙂

The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Haha, I just googled Nathan Rao, who is one of the most profligate publishers of their frequent 'snowmageddon' stories in the Express, and he's now the GB News weather correspondent. Not entirely surprised.

Fed up with losing every time you have a go at Stevo so looking for new targets.

I snagged several people this year in the local FB Group when I put a post up yesterday saying "Yay, the evenings have started drawing out!" "No they haven't!" they replied, "The shortest day isn't until 21 December!" Obviously, with my educational hat on, I like people to learn, so I've enlightened them about the earliest sunset and shortest day not lining up. I'm sure they appreciate my efforts.

Well I'm afraid you didn't define "drawing out", or at best you used it misleadingly to refer to one end of a still narrowing range, where conventionally it would refer to the range itself.
Question is, do you know why this happens?

Solar v. clock midday, put at its simplest.
Nights drawing in = earlier sunset trend, nights drawing out = opposite.

Is it 6 months or 12 months since your previous post on the subject?

Think you might have taken that a bit too seriously.

Twelve, I suspect, as people get terribly worked up about the shortest day, in a different way than the summer solstice. I think it's old people being grumpy. Just had a good haul of grumps this year.

Not really, that's just restating the effect.

No I don’t know but then again I’ve never been on Twitter other than when people link a post to something on it.
