Apparently, when you get to a certain age, you shouldn't wear denim.
Stuff that, I'm wearing denim till I die. They can bury me in my paint-splattered, holey-kneed gardening jeans. They are, after all, bio-degradable; 23rd century archaeologists will just find the copper studs.
Our Sainsbury's order is due for redelivery today. My wife checked the order last night and added a few things but also noticed that instead of ordering 8 bananas she'd ordered by weight instead. She asked me how heavy bananas are so I weighed the 5 we already have: 600g. She looked a bit sheepish and said 'so 8kgs of bananas is probably too many then?'...
Looks like we dodged a bullet by not receiving that delivery. I bet the person who had to load and then unload 60+ bananas must have wondered where they were being delivered to
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
A cautionary tale about sunbathing in the buff. Many years ago we went on a coach holiday to the South of France and the local beach had a nudist area. One person on the trip finally plucked up the courage to strip off - on the day before they were going home. Although they had been brave enough to strip then spent the entire time face down on their towel. Result? A severely sunburnt backside to contemplate on the 24 hour coach journey home. No it wasn't me.
Did that on a Greek island back in my 20s tho I didn't have to travel home the following day. Never again.
Being non shop-shaped, I make a lot of my clothes, especially dresses, tops, jackets, trousers........ It means I rarely visit clothes shops or know what is fashionable tho I do know what suits my shape. I have noticed loads of dress and top patterns with elaborate sleeves creeping into the pattern catalogues including puff, mutton, bell and it seems the 80s shoulder pad may be making a come back.
I like denim but have to put elastic in the waist of every single pair I buy and won't buy any more until they start doing them with higher waists. Fed up with pulling them up all the time. Might make a denim dress this autumn and I still have an 80s denim jacket I bought in Texas. Can't wear a classic Levi's denim jacket tho. No shape to them.
