As someone who puts the knickers and trousers on while sitting down, I kind of feel seen and yet still resent the imputation.

Rest assured that I have not seen you putting on your knickers. There is no intended imputation, just a story about an age-related condition.

A truck loaded with thousands of copies of Roget's Thesaurus crashed yesterday losing its entire load. Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, taken aback, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, mixed up, surprised, awed, dumbfounded, nonplussed, flabbergasted, astounded, amazed, confounded, astonished, overwhelmed, horrified, numbed, speechless, and perplexed.

At least 18 people went up kunanyi/Wellington yesterday, and had to be rescued. And no, that isn't a joke. This is one of the rare occasions where I'm in agreement with the public dogpiling they've received.

I'd have used it as an opportunity to test my winter gear.
Perhaps it wasn't the best time for people to be out and up there but

I'd be up there every day if I lived there or close by.
An opportunity to test out various outfits.
Conditions don't seem to have been that bad really; but I do have some experience in snow and ice and wind combined; and the gear and -20C isn't really all that cold
