Oh Boris ...

I have long had a very disturbing thing for Boris Johnson. I rationalise it away by saying that he's a cyclist, so aside from his questionable use of his penis and occasionally nutty policies, he must be a decent chap underneath. [Poll #1480605]

I was raised in Alaska, and in the event that I hadn't outgrown something by the time it had developed rips, it got patched. Though most of my shoes have been the sort that are too cheap to get properly repaired. I have one lovely good sort now, and it's got an elastic strap that needs seen to.

Every now and again I'll settle in front of the computer with a spool of thread and a needle and those things that have developed blown seams. I'm liable to wear clothing into the ground now that I'm an adult and won't get too tall for it in a year. I see no reason to get rid of a perfectly good pair of shorts if it's only got a blown crotch; that's time for the needle. (The habitual wearing of skirts and the not habitual inclination to be ladylike, and the presence of strong winds, results in the habitual wearing of shorts, with their excellent pockets, under my skirts.)

I wear cheap opaque knee-high stockings, and they tend to fail in ways that can't be invisibly darned, so they tend to get binned.

POCKETS! That's a genius plan. And yeah, by the time clothes get their first little rips, they've usually just reached that really comfy stage ...
