Walking round the house wearing newly acquired boot grieves, has announced he's Dr Who, has swept me with an electronic device that buzzes and has declared me mainly human?

For info, we're both 52, somewhat eccentric tbf with a penchant for dressing up, so it's not that big a deviation from the norm but even so...... Grin

We need pictures!

MistressoftheDarkSide · 30/03/2021 16:16

LOL!!! Far too outing Grin I cherish my illusion of anonymity on here Wink

He's wearing what now? Even Google has no idea!

MistressoftheDarkSide · 30/03/2021 16:19

LOL!! May have spelled it wrong - black military style boot covers that cover his new Rocks.

Greaves. Shin armour.

MistressoftheDarkSide · 30/03/2021 16:20

Yep, greaves it should say, greaves. Sorry Grin

Is this what you mean? Greaves?

Confused
MistressoftheDarkSide · 30/03/2021 16:22

Yes that's like it - these are black fabric with brass poppers though.

MistressoftheDarkSide · 30/03/2021 16:22

He's unlikely to break out the re-enactment armour in full because it's heavy and is rusty. I hope.

MarieDelaere · 30/03/2021 16:24

Is he a bit steampunk or more LARP?

My DP is currently wielding a bottle of mould spray. Sensible but not very exciting tbh.

MistressoftheDarkSide · 30/03/2021 16:26

Well, he's had a Steampunk phase, but is more Goth really. He wears a really ancient much repaired top hat and Goggles, but that was from before Steampunk was a thing - apparently it's an homage to Linda Perry.

OP posts:
MistressoftheDarkSide · 30/03/2021 16:28

I'm encouraging him to put new bedding on the bed by way of distraction. I feel a bit mean.

As he brought up Linda Perry when I mentioned Steampunk, we're now being treated to "What's Up".......

I think he sounds fun.

I once had a boyfriend turn up on my doorstep wearing a voicechanging cyberman helmet. He proceeded to serenade me in a cyberman voice from the street.

Backtoreality1 · 30/03/2021 16:33

You sound very much in love.....fabulous :)

MistressoftheDarkSide · 30/03/2021 16:35

@ShinyMe

That's really sweet !

Never a dull moment here - and actually, after he lost his mojo quite badly being furloughed from the job he is devoted too for so long, if it made him happy to pirouette round the kitchen in a tutu, angel wings and a tricorn, I'd be happy too!

PineappleCat · 30/03/2021 16:36

I'd love a DP like that. Enjoy. Let's hope no Daleks pop up Grin

ALargeGlassofMalbecPlease · 30/03/2021 16:36

You sound like fun. Can I come around?? 😂😂

MistressoftheDarkSide · 30/03/2021 16:36

Awww thanks @Backtoreality1 Smile

We're both grinning like loons now, and my DIL who lives with us is both bemused and amused!

OP posts:
MistressoftheDarkSide · 30/03/2021 16:38

@ALargeGlassofMalbecPlease

We would love to entertain you - we used to have big parties at our old rental, and by heavens we miss them!

When all this is over , we fantasise about a gala style event!

Are you Amy Farrah Fowler?

Standrewsschool · 30/03/2021 17:28

Dh didn’t goto university in mid-Wales, did he? Wehad a few that used to love dressing up and parade around the campus.

Standrewsschool · 30/03/2021 17:29

And Cani have an invite to your next party?

iklboo · 30/03/2021 17:31

Ah that's fab OP. Ask him later 'What Judoon?' (How we ask each other what we're doing).

Elieza · 30/03/2021 17:59

Grin Go get your stuff out the back of your wardrobe and get done up too and have a laugh.

God knows we need one after a year of lockdown.

And what’s this about ‘mainly human’ I’d be a bit worried about that lol, what else are you....?? (I know I’ve strayed into a different programme but I have a red dwarf picture of you in my head as part Cat Grin
