Autumnal chills

[vivdunstan]

It's that time of year when I change from my lighter wraparound robe (worn around my pyjamas) to my thicker long dressing gown. I have also this afternoon ordered me some new pairs of bed socks - machine washable, soft and fluffy, and the right length and size. I'm far too frozen in bed, despite an electric blanket and central heating. My nose is also currently cold which is just too much! To be fair I have a long-standing disease of the blood vessels, though it's usually more affecting the blood vessels in my brain, reducing the blood supply there. But peripheral chills can be a problem.

I don't go for machine washable with bed socks. Mine are pure wool ones I knitted with some gift wool from a friend who likes spinning.

The wool makes them lovely and warm, and because they're wool, they don't get smelly. I let them air on the pillow during the day.

I may have washed them at some point, but if I have, it's so long ago that I don't recall it...

Yup I was tempted with a wool pair, and would have liked them for lots of reasons. But in the end went with the other.
