Shut Up Baldrick, You'd Laugh at a Shakespeare Comedy.

The colour of these shorts reminds me of when Edmund Blackadder remarked to Percy, "so you think there's a big market for jewellery that looks like snot, then?"

I re-fashioned these from a rather hideous pair of snot-coloured 3/4 pants, into a not-quite so hideous, extremely comfortable pair of shorts.
They look like something my Dad would have worn with knee socks in 1978.

I love the intensely high-waisted look of them.
They look so out of place with all the other gear I'm wearing, yet it all feels so right to me.  
They're a bit crumpled as I'd spent the whole day in them, out and about, but I'm happy with my super-pants.

Things that make you go boi-oi-oi-oi-oi-oing!
I'm in a crafty mood - think I'll make some more headbands this weekend.

My 1970s embroidered bag, Madeira, has forgiven me since being mended after I overloaded her with way too much of my baggage.
Poor delicate darling has moods too you know.

You're thinking "Oh god, can't she keep her pants on for just one day?  Just one!"
Well duh, course not!

I've discovered that swimsuits make the best hot summer day wear and you're ready to get wet should you happen by a sprinkler, town hall fountain, summer downpour, puddles or any body of water.

Plus you can change clothes in a jiffy if you stumble across an exciting op-shop find and absolutely must try it on right there and then.

 I'm sure this fabulous shiny skirt was once part of a stage show.
 My fave oppy, Aid for the Blind, seems to absorb these gems by the truckload.

It's rather on the large side, but I'm happy because it means I'll be sewing.
I'm really in the mood!
