    Sock matching.!! The feeling when you make a pair is really quite liberating
    Although I have found the outer limits of a cat's true utility ie not very much really. IMG_20200324_163936.jpg

    My four year old grandson insists on wearing unmatched socks. Buggers up my OCD no end

    So - the big question.

    Would you buy:

    20 pairs of identical socks so it doesn't matter if you lose one - all 40 socks match with each other.

    20 pairs of radically different socks so each sock has a definite and specific mate.

    After a while though, it's what I imagine following Sheffield Wednesday must be like. It starts out full of hope but descends through boredom and banality into bitterness and regret when you are left with an expensive but odd Calvin Klein sock.

    I buy identical socks because as you rightly say, lose one and you can always make up a pair.

    So it's come to this!! Talking about sock matching!!:( Still it is a topic where we can all come together and sort out our differences. A 'heeling' process as long as everyone' toes' the line:D

    Coit!

    No question at all, it has to be the different socks. For reasons I cannot be bothered to type.
