The outpourings of a deranged mind

Bedsheets

I have white, Egyptian cotton bed sheets from John Lewis. They’re quite a high thread count, very nice and fairly expensive. I’m fastidious about keeping them clean and paranoid about getting stains on them. I also (probably thanks to many years in sunny climes) have quite a few moles. When those buggers get caught on something they don’t half bleed so it was with a real sense of joy that I discovered one on my back had started bleeding and that my bed sheets were now covered in blood. There is nothing fun about standing in the bathroom, well past your bed time, bowl full of cold water (so as not to set the blood) scrubbing the sheets with a bar of plain soap in order to get the stain out. Thankfully I think I managed to get it all out. From now on I think I might start sleeping in a t-shirt.

    No? You’re forbidding me from sleeping in a t-shirt?

    I am aware that you know I know you know how I feel about the idea :D But it’s cold (although less so now the heating is on) and I only have a 4.5 tog duvet.

    Since I know you know what I think of the idea and you admit you know I’m not repeating the whole discussion for the blog readership. What I will say is - get a winter duvet :p (and a chest from Ikea to keep your duvet collection in).

    Yeah, yeah, one thing at a time - still drooling over swords :D

    How does Egyptian cotton bedsheets make you old, or is this something you only appreciate when you get to a certain age? :D
