New PJs

Being the Aussie bloke that he is, Rog doesn't have much in the way of proper pyjamas. Aside from a pair of blue spotty pjyama pants which he whips out in winter, it's usually just boxers or trackydacks. With his upcoming invalid status, he won't be dressing up. But daggy clothes won't cut it to lift his spirits though. Not only does he want to look his best for his nurses, he also has to be presentable for potential visitors. So it was time for some shopping and who else to the rescue, but the multi-talented Yvette.

My first port of call was my favourite pyjama person Peter Alexander, but unfortunately he didn't have much for guys in his latest catalogue. I surf, looking for sites selling funky boy pjs, but no luck. The only site I come across has blond men who could pass as porn stars modelling slinky satiny tiger striped pyjamas. Er, I don't think so. I sense a definite niche market opportunity here - online store selling normal looking comfy pjs for straight guys. Plan B - good old fashioned shopping at a real shop. An hour before we are due to be at the hospital we duck into a department store and 20 minutes later, come back out with three sets of pyjamas at absolute bargain prices.


Disclaimer: in no way did I influence Rog's shopping decisions (this time). He happily chose these himself. Carson from Queer Eye For The Straight Guy would be extremely proud. For anyone planning to visit, it'll certainly be worth the price of admission to see Rog in his new PJs.
