As one cannot wear a velour track suit without looking scruffy, even when one’s velour track suit is brand new; and one cannot help but look triple-chinned when one’s Hub takes a standing photo of one whilst sitting, I think one’s caving to your demands for a photo takes one above and beyond the call of blogging duty, hence one’s use of formal language to distance oneself from – or get beyond, if you will – a very unflattering photograph.
Really, dear readers, insisting on photographs to back up photographic prompt posts is beyond the pale. One might even call it madness.

I agree with you. I gave my lovely warm, once worn, wine coloured track suit to my sister. She doesn’t mind looking scruffy……..I do. 😀

Thank you and welcome!
The painting is of my in-laws on their wedding day. My husband commissioned it for their Golden Wedding anniversary. The artist did it from a photograph. We got it back when they died.
It’s by a South African artists; we were living there at the time.

I live as scruffy. Velour track suit would be a dress up day.

I didn’t think it was possible to be scruffier than me. 😀

You don’t look scruffy, there is a notable absence of lint and dog hair. You don’t seem very enthusiastic about the picture taking. Your track suit is the same as mine.:)

I would not have succumbed to people’s requests for a photo, but then I wouldn’t be caught dead in a track suit. It suits Betty White in Hot in Cleveland, but not me ever! But then I live most of my days in house dresses!

Well thanks for nothing! Now I can never wear it again. Or watch Hot in Cleveland.

Do you get Hot in Cleveland in England? It sounds like it. I hope you realize I was doing this totally tongue in cheek (my sense of humor) & I compared to me wearing housedresses every day! I would never take a pic of me in my housedresses. Please tell me I didn’t hurt your feelings? Bad, bad benze!

No, no, I was joking with you! I totally got that you were teasing. Sorry if I worried you. The trouble with t’internet is that nuance is often lost.
HIC is on one of the cable channels. I’ve seen about four episodes so I knew exactly what you were talking about 😀

Glad to hear it on both points! And it’s great to know you have the same type of sense of humor. Maybe we will have to work out a signal (some kind of typed symbol) to signal when we’re teasing?
