I also kept off bits of paper. It would never cross my mind to use new paper for a shopping list.

Use paper diary. Selecting a new one is a very serious business.

Shake hands on first meeting someone, and our teenagers have been brought up to do this.

Write Christmas and birthday cards with a beautiful Messenger fountain pen and I use violet ink.

If I feel chilly at home I put on thicker socks and a warmer jumper. I don't just reach for the thermostat.

At night, I turn down the bed.

We often still listen to DH's treasured vinyl collection.

On Fridays we have a fish supper with a big pot of tea on the table and a big pile of white bread and butter.

Always wear matching underwear.

I unconsciously expect men to open doors for me and to always go to the bar.
