Tiny mouse hammocks? Priceless. It reminds me of my very lovely, very funny wife who refers to a certain item of lady paraphernalia as “mouse mattresses.”

I'm 5'4 1/2. ( holding on to that 1/2. Calf length works well for me. I am between petite regular and I shopped in the junior department forever! Pants are almost always too long for me and I can't do the heals anymore

Long sun dresses have become my friend in the summer, they are cooler and cover my knee tape 😉

I get you, but I just can't do long - being a short arse perhaps. Knee length or just above, unfortunately x

So true, Fi! I haven’t had leg hair for at least ten years. Or underarm hair. And I’m having to look harder for my eyebrows.

And yay to the anorak as the go-to summer wardrobe!

Exactly! Someone was posting here about coveting bikinis the other day and it just did not compute. Bathing hut level all-in-one and a massive duvet coat like they wore in Ireland on Bad Sisters is more my scene.

Wonderful Fiona! I sat here laughing like a loon! Hubby kept glancing but not a word was spoken. Yes, leg hair - where did it go?? Why didn’t it go sooner? Oh the thoughts of an old lady, but that’s me for the day! xxx

Glad you enjoyed, Lynne, thank you! Honestly I'd love to know where it went. Same place as our oestrogen maybe? x

Leg hair deciding not to bother growing is one of the great unsung wonders of being over 50.
