Hmmm... maybe Neil wasn't quite as wrong as I wilfully denied he was...

This post would make much more sense with pictures, but bear with me since I can't upload any at present (STILL).

Last weekend we went to Leicester. Neil's eye was caught by a very fetching blue jacket with a thin white stripe.

He deliberately raised the point before purchase to check it DID NOT resemble too closely anything worn by David Tennant. He did this. In itself that question was telling: that he felt it needed to be asked (regular viewers will know this is NOT the first time that dangers of wardrobe resemblance have been raised...)

"No, no, no" I said, "you're fine. Trust me. If I thought it was... well, it would me who would look weird, not you. It suits you. It's a lovely jacket." (It is; and has drawn approving comments from his work place).

Cue today where I am taking a breather from working on other things to scurry a little on the Behind the Sofa blog (see below). Now it may just be the colourisation on my blog dimming the beloved brown suit, but it suddenly strikes me that Neil's new jacket is frighteningly close to the Doctor's current striped jacket.

Bollocks.

It seems that I have absorbed a love of this fashion so deeply I can't even tell when I am in danger of dressing my partner like David Tennant.

Does he wear Jarvis-style glasses? If he does, you may be in trouble. But as long as he doesn't don the whole suit, start running around and licking things, you should be fine. Hee.

I'm still tapping! I can't stop bloody tapping!

(I updated, also. Twice.)

(I have got to stop self-plugging.)

Funny you should say about the glasses... he bought new ones recently and though they aren't a million miles away from the rectangular-jarvis-esque DT specs, I DID stop him buying ones that were pretty identical.

If he starts doing the licky thing though...

gulp!

It's like leaving a door open to being teased from here to eternity.

Of course, being the perverse person I am, you will note I actually opened the door myself...

But you're right; it doesn't hurt to model my partner on lovely Mr Tennant...
