He wears short shorts (and he really shouldn't)


I'm not good in hot weather. I'm not a shorts person. I tend to keep my legs covered up at all times. I might wear then on holiday to go to the pool in, but I would never walk down the street in them. I don't have the legs for it, and neither do about 98% of the rest of male population.

Some people are into their shorts as soon as the sun shows it face at whatever time of year. Perhaps it's those people who wear suits all week can't wait to get into something more casual. But sometimes it's not warm enough for shorts, but the sun's out so better put them on! I find it annoying. Much like I find the t-shirt and woolley hat combo both annoying and bewildering.

Nothing though, is more annoying than those silly three-quarter length trousers. I'm sorry if you own some and I'm offending you, but they make people's legs look really short and stumpy. They're really not a good look. Some fashion kingpins somewhere are giggling behind their fans at how they've managed to pull off this joke on gullible men.

Thing is, I hate sunbathing. I always burn, unless i"m really, really careful. In Thailand about 20 years ago I burnt so badly I blistered all over. It was very nearly a hospital job. I never want to do that again. Consequently, I'm not the most tanned person you'll ever meet. My legs certainly won't be, anyway.


For once, though, it's nice to have the sun out. As long it's not too hot, I can cope. But today I hear that rain is around the corner, and that's much more me.

I'm not a vest person either.
