sock pairing

 the cold leg phenomenon in the early morning, it is happening almost every day. About one hour after getting up the legs start to go cold, starting at the ankles and working on up towards the knees. Really silly. Perhaps exercise in the morning will help.

later on get the big odd socks container and start to sort through them. There are tiny socks that were the son's when he was small. There are ones with holes in them which land in a heap. Nobody really repairs socks any more. They will end up in the municipal container for old clothes where they will be passed on to a recycler who will shred them and sell the fibre to somebody who can use it. To make other things, like paper, for exampele.

sort the socks that are left, find containers of other single socks, sniffle at the all for some are unwashed and that is an easy way to tell.

In the end there are  some clean paired socks, a stack of holy socks and all the socks that failed the snuffle test in pairs in the box for the washing machine. The whole procedure took hours. Rest back on the bed and listen to the wife and the son argue about the best method of tidying up computers.

That is not an argument worth getting involved in.

In the evening, go for a walk that should have been taken in the morning.
