I just don't write enough blog entries, do I? Oh well, stick this in your (non hashish) pipe and smoke it ...
Following redundancy I have been scratching around doing various little jobs and attending a selection of adult education courses. This morning's, run by my local council's recycling service concerned 'Upcycling' one's wardrobe to combat the increase in landfill waste. It was only a fiver, so along I went.
Let me just say that I was totally useless. The other women were nice enough, but the sewing teacher was a bit of a snob to say the least. As well as freelance further education teaching she also knits vegetables for the underprivileged and runs an organic soup kitchen from the back of her VW Camper. I made the schoolgirl error of breaking the sewing machine's needle and her face went very sour. Also, stating that a student's sewing project was 'brave' wasn't really a compliment.
Probably the most amusing part of the course was when somebody's grandmother had apparently made bunting from her deceased husband's varied collection of Y-Fronts. Inspired.
