...loves short'nin', short'nin'
- 2 pairs of trousers
- 2 zip replacements
- 2 dresses, sleeve adjustments
It is lovely to sit in the sun and handstitch garments.
We were also sitting outside on Tuesday to eat our lunch. My neighbour called over the fence "Can I give you those trousers now, Angela?" I took them from her. Then a few minutes later she called back "Do you two want some cake with your lunch?"
Bob says he greatly approves of this arrangement where I do the shortening and he gets to eat cake!
I have completely missed out on The Wiggles but this video was more fun than the original Andrews Sisters clip.
On the subject of children's TV, what's the story in Balamory? My grandson is incredibly excited, as his classmate's Dad works at CBeebies, in MediaCity, Salford. This chap came in to school and now George tells us he knows all the secrets behind the production!
It sounds as though Bob has got life sorted! ; )
ReplyDeleteRetirement suits him!
DeleteYou must have a nicely sheltered corner in your garden; I sat outside with my coffee but I out on a coat! It's a brisk breeze at the moment.
ReplyDeleteYes, beautifully sheltered
DeleteSounds like Bob got the better end of the deal, there! :D I did some clothes alterations, today, myself, Angela, redoing waistbands on a pair of pyjamas for my daughter and a pair of trousers for myself. :)
ReplyDeleteI need to redo a skirt waistband. Sadly letting it out not taking it in!
DeleteYour bit of Norfolk must be degrees warmer than my bit of Suffolk - no sitting out here- the wind is still very chilly.
ReplyDeleteWe are quite sheltered at the back. But it was rather cold last night when we went outside to watch the meteor shower. We saw one stunning streak across the sky, then hurried back inside for hot tea
DeleteOoooh, freshly baked Victoria sponge is a great exchange!!! Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteThat must have been so exciting for him to have heard about!! Kids love association with fame!
Yes they do, don't they? I loved your post about the younger choir girls admiring the former pupil's achievement!
