In due course these merino wool beauties arrived from the The Great Canadian Sox Company.
.
They are not only red, which is appreciated, but functional, which is necessary -- for they are of sufficient length. They come up almost to my knees and in so doing cover the cold spots the reside just below the sock top that you see above. Before ordering, I contacted the company to make sure of the length. Not only does the length suit, but they stay up and keep those dratted cold spots covered.
Self diagnosis: the cold patches are a result of spinal deterioration.
I wrapped up in my reddish blanket, just for y'all, but you just can't beat the sock red IMHO.
But I will give it my best shot.
Speaking of naps, I slept for something approximating 8 hours last night. This occurs once or twice a year at most but was well-deserved after several short nights this past week when I awoke at 3:30 after something closer to only 4 hours of fitful, sweaty repose.
You have beautiful legs, haha. My favorite color is yellow. It always cheers me up.
ReplyDeleteThe socks are amazing! And red! Love them!
ReplyDeleteSerious sock envy here.
ReplyDeleteGreat legs!! Great socks too. Glad you had a good night's seep. I have such joy when I lie down in a warm bed and let go of everything of the day. Of course then I wake a few hours later to relieve badder pressure. But that first warm relaxation is something I really look forward to. And now your tootsies will all be warm too
ReplyDeleteGreat socks! (Mine are knee high and striped--my witch socks.
ReplyDeleteQuite the gams! You look comfy in your red socks and blanket. I am fortunate to get mostly 8 hours every night. Depends on how late I read.
ReplyDeleteAnd what ever are you wearing over the socks. Yes, too, that's a really nice quilt you are napping on.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue for the pictures of his cold spots.
Fire engine red socks, sounds perfect! Love the gams and the idea of good sleep. :-)
ReplyDeleteCan you remember when we were kids and slept like a log. Eight hours every night. When did we start waking up?
ReplyDeleteOf course they are warm. They are not only wool, they are the finest wool to be bought. You could buy the same sock in orange or green, just as warm and wouldn't clash with your red blanket.
ReplyDeleteLove the red socks! And the blanket, too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got in some extra hours of sleep. :)
Those socks are brilliant. I'm surprised that Lacey hasn't claimed the blanket or at least shared with you.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember which Pope it was that liked red shoes.
ReplyDeleteInsomnia is a horrid thing, isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous!
It sounds like it's helping.
ReplyDeleteThis post made me laugh. You are certainly red-y for a nap!
