Watty's Awakening

Slinky

Thanks ladies I spent the night with my legs wrapped in clingfilm - there's a first. Still red patches this morning, but the Chub shorts came in handy as I wore them under a pair of trousers for my volunteering job (in a cafe so have to wear trousers for H&S) and the lack of seams on the inner thigh was a big help. I'm much better tonight, think I got away with it.

Ladies who have the Chubs, do you wear knickers under them? I did but wasn't sure……..

I'm currently often wearing slazenger 'jammers' which are below mid thigh length mens swimming trunks. They are swim suit material so are lovely and stretchy, thighs swish over each other rather than stick hotly, clothes swish over them too without leaving things all rucked up. I wear them under my several long wafty summer tops so it doesn't look like I'm nekkid under a very short dress inappropriate for my shape and age 😆 I wear pants under them as I'm treating them like shorts. In fact I was in a sports shop today and got another pair plus a speed@ pair as they have been very successful. Being swimming garments they are quick drying too. Best of all they are on sale so I got them for £7 each I think

Dunno why they think women all want bikini bottoms that are cut up to the armpit or things they call shorts but the legs are about half an inch if that.

County Show yesterday, fantastic day out. The life membership purchased a few years ago means it is "free" as that cost written off years ago. I really wanted to take WattyDog and the members parking is just a short doddle from the members pavilion which has a lovely grassy area with tables and sun umbrellas so we got there early had a short walk and bagged a table for the day. WattyDog surprised me by walking a lot further than he usually does as he got bored just sitting by main arena so he went for a walk with each of us in turn to see vintage tractors (VNM) and the gypsy cob class (me). A lovely day out was had.

What made me smile was that he clearly got a "sniff" of the aqua dog pool which in previous years he has loved and tried to head off towards it. He might walk badly but he isn't going to be put off trying to persuade me he should go to his favourite attraction

WattyDog needs a book to himself - illustrated, of course.

The show sounds lovely - I have been reading too many pony stories and want to know if you came home with a gypsy cob (walking behind a vintage tractor, of coure).

I have such fond memories of 'A pony in the luggage'. Two children visit their aunt in Scandiwegia and win a small pony in a raffle. They manage to get it in their cabin trunk and back by train.…

Back when I was a child, WH Smith's used to run a Win a Pony competition each year. You entered by filling out a form and attaching any receipt from them and posting it off. After the closing date, on my walk home from school I used to imagine finding an envelope telling me I'd won. Weeks would go by and nothing ever arrived until gradually I had to accept that this was not going to be my year. There must be a whole generation around my age who were disappointed each year by Smiths. You couldn't run that sort of competition now, I'm sure.

This would have been the only way my parents would have let me have a pony.

Slinky Id love to think there wouldn't have been an envelope, just a chap on your drive holding a pony and he'd check his clipboard pushing his newspaper boys flat cap back, 'are you Slinky? Here you go. Enjoy' and hand over the reins and go off whistling to catch a train back to Smiths Head Office where the pony had been for the last couple of weeks tethered to the Competitions Desk. In fact maybe they used the pony to pick out the receipt from the big barrel of entries? 🐎 🐴 🎠 🏇
