I may rant…
And I fully understand this is normally a blog about sewing so I also may drift off topic a little.
I am not a small man, I stand just under 6’6″ and top out at around 21stn so that’s 315lb or about 125kg so I stand out.
A lot.
So why do I turn invisible the moment I set foot outside my front door? I turn into some kind human magnet, people just walk into me, bump into me or just want to stand in the exact part of the planet I was stood on why? And it always happens that when I’m carrying something heavy or a awkward shape people decide that I am the perfect person to ask directions.
Crying children on the bus, so you get on the bus with a screaming child comfort your child do not just have a conversation on your phone whilst the said sporn of the morningstar makes me want to kill, I very much doubt you are reading this but I do hope you understand why I gave you a mouthful and as for the boyfriend muttering threats under his breath please have the balls to do it to my face.
Drunk obnoxious Liverpool fans on the bus. I timed my journey to work badly yesterday. And left home just as the Arsenal v Liverpool match finished. As I live very close to the arsenal stadium I had to struggle with 1000’s of happy gunners fans. I’m ok with that, so I get to the bus stop to be greeted by 15 – 20 drunk Liverpool fans there looking lost and getting a bit gobby. They get on the bus moaning about everything, I don’t care about bad language I use it every day but try not to in public, this wasn’t top of the scousers list. They just got worse. But from what they were saying all they wanted to do was get to Euston get some beers and go back north. I decided that to butt into their conversion would be rude and therefore couldn’t point out they were on a bus heading to London Bridge not Euston but I did as I got off just so I could see the look of panic on their face.
Was good.
The lack of fabric on free cycle I blame Kirsty Allsopp she has ruined free cycle by making a tv programme featuring it. The amount of fabric free cycle used to offer was astounding but now nothing. So thanks Kirsty.
This is the little madam, and I have to say now she is a great cat she doesn’t have a nasty bone in her body, she is just a sweet animal. But she is a mouse killer, I live in a old victorian house so there are mice and the cat catches them. Her job I suppose but she doesn’t always kill them she lets them go in the house and watches them run and hide in one of the many fabric piles where they die, nothing compares to reaching down expecting to pick up some vintage Paddington fabric and coming away with a very dead slightly chewed mouse.
And speaking of mice I make catnip mice available from my etsy shop and I own a cat so I thought a perfect product tester, I hoovered yesterday and needed to move the cats corner where her toys and the bit of fabric she wanted stay and I counted just how many catnip mice she has. 21 of them.
21! She is a small cat who is adroit at stealing and hiding the things I make she didn’t look guilty just angry at getting busted.
Have a happy easter.
