(What I’m doing up at that ungawdly hour of the day is well beyond me – my system simply started waking me up then and going back to sleep seems to be a waste of time so I just roll with whatever the auld bod is delivering)
It’s dark.
In the good old days, underwear manufacturers for men would put a label on the inside at the back. In the dark, you can slide your hands around the waistband, identify the label and get things in order. Getting t
