9th August, 2009 - OCD with the Ts

I have completed the third of my 42 Home Improvements. (Regular readers will now by now that I am trying to complete one home improvement for every year of my life).

Tonight I tidied a wardrobe! I appreciate that sometimes this blog gets almost a bit too exciting, and that tonight is one of those nights. But my aim always is to provide you with titillating insights into how much more thrilling my life is than yours. Whilst you were watching River City, I was debating over the correct system for classifying piles of T shirts. As a result, whilst you have spent your evening wondering where Scarlett has got to, I now have a wardrobe that looks a bit like Patrick Bergen has been an uninvited house guest.

For those of you who were wondering about the T shirt classification system, I opted for three piles: one for sportswear; one for casual; and one for classics. I think you will find that it is a simple and effective system, which means no pile is overburdened, and you can easily pick the perfect t shirt to suit your mood.

Of course, there are certain anomalies. For example, does the oxymoronic “long sleeved t shirt” really belong in the T shirt pile at all. Having said that, it is not really a jumper, and it scarcely deserves a pile of its own. Similarly, some classic t shirts have now become sufficiently faded that they are now suitable only for visits to the gym. Are they now to be re-classified to the sports pile? This hardly seems fair to the bespoke Adidas T shirts. It is a bit like a player from Cambuslang United being found in the Man U dressing room.

So, the evening has not been without intellectual challenge.
