Ok, I have a gripe. Why is More 4 showing Muppet Christmas carol on December 2'nd? It is far too early.. Didn't get the chance to watch it, hope it is on again closer to the day

Well, the sewing took a bit longer than expected, so no building site today. We've done plenty.

We made when we came up a few minutes ago, and while NT took some photos of our work, I downed mine in moments! Having a second one now...

We made a load of umbrella shopping bags and also prototyped our latest umbrella bag design for Waste Not, Want It using a large sports umbrella.

Folded:

Unfolded and measuring 18" x 24":

Stuffed with, errr, stuff:

The only new bits are the two eyelets and the cord.

A big well done to NT for working it all out, and putting up with me when I got frustrated with my inability to sew a straight line. I blame the black thread on black cloth, and my 43 year old eyes....

I love the sunburst effect of the alternate colour panels. I've got a few more of that type to play with at home. BTW, don't buy Dunlop golf umbrellas, they seem to fall apart very easily!

 

[Arch]

Or if you do buy one, and it falls apart, send me the cloth!

Oh, are you meant to be able to do that?

Have you followed the link on that video to "cute things exploding"? It adds an extra layer of the surreal.

We're watching Witness on good old VHS tape tonight.

I really fancy doing a barn raising one day, just for that community spirit.

Two job applications filled out and emailed off. Nothing else of interest out there.

Today I am pondering digital music.

As well as several hundred books, I seem to have about one hundred CDs. That is a lot , until I remembered that CDs became popular in circa late 20th Century. Therefore I have bought, on average about three, possibly four CDs each year over the past um...err... twenty five years. So, is it really worth me fiddling and twiddling about with downloadable music. I often listen to music while I am relaxing on the sofa in the lounge*, or while doing the ironing, or sewing. Using a puter at those times is not wholy convenient. I also have to take into account my inability to download a book onto a Kindle reader thingummy.

* I still have the "music centre" aka turntable, radio, double cassette player, and cd player combined in one machine that I purchased in 1986.

Does anyone have any helpful thoughts on this conunundrumum?
