    I have to be careful about wandering around the house with not much on these days. OH is up before me on weekdays and on work video calls/meetings :o.

    I just went to get something from the car and there was a vine weevil crossing the road. I made sure it got to the other side o:)
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Bit peeved that a favourite pure cotton M & S fitted sheet has just ripped apart. I don't think it was that old, maybe 5 years? Not sure whether to mend it or not - does anybody still patch sheets these days?

    People buy very expensive gear because they like to say ‘I’ve got considerably more than thou’

    Back in the hippy days I used to do some lovely things with jeans.  Split the flares up from the bottom seams put in a triangle shaped piece, embroidery up the sides. 
    Lovely tat from Carnaby Street.  Still would if I could, never grown up.

    There was a clip on YouTube of a reporter somewhere in the USA doing a piece from home.  She hadn't realised that her male partner was in clear view behind her in the shower.

    Carnaby Street ain't what it used to be. It's got very expensive and touristy 😞

    I’m sure it isn't Jenny,   And I doubt people walk around there with lovely smiley faces anymore, London looks like a miserable place now. 
    Nothing left of the old.
