A little late with the posting today, last night my youngest had the second night of the Queanbeyan Area Public Schools Performance. It is around 12 schools that perform singing and dancing on stage. It was a great show but 2 nights of getting to bed at 2300 took its toll on Jade and as Poppy came and watched last night both were very tired and cranky this morning. Dad is a meanie as he made the girls go to school where Mum was going to let them have the day off. It is funny in a way as everyone that knows us thinks it is the other way around and that I would be the soft touch 🤭 As I was heading back home after dropping Poppy to school I ducked up Mt Ainslie top the lookout to grab some photos, you can see Memorial Drive that leads to the lake and across to both Old Parliament and Parliament house. As it was a late night I didnt have the opportunity to get my outfit ready the night before, however when you know and understand the basics, it can be easy to grab an outfit. Todays outfit consists of; - Country Road Double Breasted Herringbone 100% Fine Wool Overcoat in Graphite - Brixton Brood Snap cap in Grey - MJ Bale Ashford Suit In Charcoal - OTAA Winthrop’s Gray Weave Lucious Shirt - OTAA Gibraltar Graphite Blue Stripe Tie - OTAA Shining Silver tie clip - OTAA Don Vitone Blue Wool Pocket Square - Monterey Watch Co Black Bead Blracelet - Mitch Dowd DIamond Pattern Socks - Ecco Ecco Vitrus Penny Loafer SOTD - Bond No9 New York Nights WOTD - Tudor Royal 41 Silver Dial

Back in November 😬 @Antonio Centeno sent me a very nice thank you for supporting the group as a premium member. When I received it I was both shocked and perplexed... Shocked at the generous gift, and perplexed with how to best use it. Now to explain: Some of you may know I'm in the middle of a weight loss journey that started at 570 pounds in August 2024. As of today I've lost 217 pounds, with about 93-123 pounds remaining to get to my goal range. I found Antonio's channel when I started shopping for new clothes, trying to figure out who I am stylistically. The gifts, by the way, are a Navy Silk Knit Livingston Tie, Stainless Tie Bar, and Berlin Paisley Pocket Square from The Dark Knot. Needless to say, in this transitional period, suits have not been a part of my current wardrobe, hence the conundrum... I've finally decided what I'm going to do with these gifts, and I hope that I'm doing them justice. When I stabilize in that goal range, I'm going to celebrate by, among other things, getting my first proper suit, in dark grey herringbone, with an equally suitable pair of Chelseas to go with it... @Antonio Centeno , thanks again for the gift. I really appreciate it. I'll be sure to share the milestone with the group when I reach it.

Today I decided to get off my you know what and dress up. I haven't been on it in a while but I'm bouncing back. And every time I dress up, I feel good about myself. And yes you do think differently. You seem to have a better focus of your day. Even where you see yourself future tense... As men it is important we take care of ourselves and maintain our look, style and stature of who we are as men. I recommend for ALL MEN to return back to the days of The Distinguished Gentleman. They days where wisdom, style, elegance and class was the standard of a man. A real Distinguished Gentleman at that.... #TerrificTuesday #RMRS #GentlemanStyle #OutfitOfTheDay

Another day in OKc at the courthouse. This one was a success. The judge awarded my wife the ability to help a struggling family member who is presently at my home getting the necessary medical and psychiatric help needed. My wife has worked nightly for three months for this day. I would like to think the fact that she and I showed up respectfully dressed helped her case a little bit. (After 3 hours of watching one after another case getting postponed for guardianship we were the only successful one all day with this very demanding judge). But I am sure the good work by the attorney and preparation by my former para legal wife had a lot to do with it as well.
