Primark provides practical and pretty clothes at appealing prices. This pull on warm winter fleece has a handy kangaroo pocket to keep your hands warm.

Kangaroo Pocket For Warmth
I love the kangaroo pockets. So snug for your hands to hide and keep warm.

Hoods Are Handy

The second great feature is the hood. This garment, a cross between a hoodie and snuggle, is called a snuddie.

Knitted Cuffs Advantages
Knitted cuffs have two main advantages. Firstly, they keep you warm. Secondly, they stop sleeves from dragging in water when you are washing your hands, your clothes, or washing up dishes after meals. They look neat and do not flap about.

Snuddies and Blanket-Like Clothes

The snuddie is unlike earlier versions of hooded blankets. One version had a lining which made it warmer and thicker, maybe more expensive.
Another garment was the Slanket.

The fleece dressing gown worn back to front could leave you with gaps. I hate the way ordinary dressing gowns need to be done up, and come undone which is inelegant and makes you cold in cooler weather.
The Snuddie, horrid word, why not call it something friendly like the Snuggly, or the Cozyfleece? Perhaps because all the best words and variations have already been used. So here is a new one.

Where To Buy Warm One Piece Clothes

You can buy these and similar on February 20th 2026 in all colours from all the big suppliers, amazon, ebay, temu, shein, plus an assortment of others specialising in outdoor and indoor wear for camping, sports and simply sitting at home. 

In February I can see them sold at silly low prices, presumably because most people who want them have already bought them, although the cold weather is continuing in London, the USA, Europe, and predicted to last into March this year. I remember seeing snow outside the hospital window in Mid March in the 1970s when our son was born. Yet when I was in my teens in the 1960s, only a decade earlier, we had a hot March when I sat in the sun in the garden.

So I sit here, dreaming of warmer days, snuggled up in my Snuddie. It is white, like sheepskin. Warm as wool, soft as wool, and deep like sheepskin.

Agreed, it is not fitted and elegant. What matters is that it is soft, comfortable and warm.

Survival Clothes and Kits For Holidays, Home & Away post 510

I read in the news today that the French have issued instructions on preparing a survival kit for householders.  Convenient Carry Bag Your house should have a bag you can carry, or sling in a car. Your handbag or tote bag or holdall should have a few essentials. When hiking I wear clothes with pockets and have a rucksack with have pockets water, food and sting relief, and insect repallent, and maps and phone numbers. I also put the hospital nubers in my phone. Survival Kit Everybody should have a survival kit by their door, as well as a first aid box in the bathroom and a burns kit in the kitchen. Also clothes! Japanese The Japanese are reputed to keep survival kit by the door. Why? In case of earthquakes. Travellers should have a first aid kit. In their suitcase or bag. And in cars. Plus spare clothes. For sitting on wet or dirty ground. Medical Help Many buildings have a defibrilator. Do you have a scarf which would act as an emergency sling? After a car accident, I had broken m...

The Waistcoat With Palm Trees & Parrots From Shein (and straw hat) post 582 from Angela Lansbury

  Angela Lansbury wearing at waistcoat with palm trees.   Photo by Angela Lansbury. The Shein Waistcoat The waistcoat came from St Lukes charity shop. The label is Shein. Made in China. As you might expect  The St Luke's price was £3. I googled waistcoat, Shein, parrot, and the exact sme garment appeared immediately. The Shein model was wearing it over a white crop top with short denim shorts. The price was ten pounds plus three pounds postage. But as a new customer or returning customer (eg after a gap of several weeks not ordering) you might get offered free postage.  I like the fact that the patterns on the right and left mirror each other as if the parrots are about to speak to each other. Useful search words for the same or similar garments would be beach scene, colourful, multicolor, palm trees, sleeveless jacket, tank top, top, Travachic, tropical print, vest, waistcoat.  The Straw Hat  The straw hat was free, a promotional gift.

Stripey Red & White Socks, thigh high, and tights - outfit 679 by Angela Lansbury

Image
  I bought a pair of knee high red and white stripe socks in St Luke's charity shop. At one pound or under, you can't lose much. (Their charity fundraising shops are in NW London in Hatch End, Harrow Weald and elsewhere.) Why did I buy the long socks, in hard to match, garish, childish, stripes - after hesitation and consideration? The Advantages Of Long Socks The  length was attractive, at this time of year. I often need long socks under a midi skirt. For warmth in winter. And not to show bit of bare legs above socks. To co-ordinate colours. Advantages and Disadvantages of Red and White Stripes I like red. It's fun. White can show dirt quickly.  Red and white is a bit restrictive. It will clash with patterns, only go with plain reds and whites. But under a table at dinner or on Zoom nobody else will notice. Nor will I. I will only feel them. If the socks are too tight, you might feel uncomfortable. At night, when you take them off, you might see red indentation lines acr...
