    What are you snacking on?

    Wonderful! I suspect that they will make a lovely accompaniment to.my lovely West Indian soup. (Spinach & sweet potato, with peanut butter. I'm eclectic )

    Help with hardwearing trousers please!

    The kilt? Yes. He's currently looking for work in the legal profession though (CILEX huzzah!) and I'm not sure how the hairy knees would work.in court :-)

    Do Men Hate Women's Hats?

    I love my berets -- my everyday hat of choice. Turns out yesterday at school the children had to talk about a thing they found embarrassing.Small Boy said "my mum's green velvet beret, it's WEIRD." And the charlatans agreed with him!

    Do you have a soundtrack ladies?

    Hot Club de France! (and for some weird reason the soundtrack to "Chicago" which I find really bizarrely inspirational.) Is anyone else on Spotify?

    Help with hardwearing trousers please!

    Wonderful, thank you. Actually when you get to.the less fashionable waist sizes, Savvy Row are commensurate with the High Street aren't they? (I don't think £40 for a pair of good trousers is unreasonable at all!)

    Agony column?

    Sooooo.....this is the first time I've "said" this and you ladies a re all being so supportive so here goes. I have lupus and indeed it sucks mighty-wise, and due to the lupus I have rosacea so I've gone from pale impeccable English rose complexion to surface of the moon. And that's rubbish but...

    Help with hardwearing trousers please!

    Your forbearance please, gentlemen (and ladies) as I suspect this has been done to death in the depths of a thread but I couldn't find it. My Hairy Bloke is very hard on his trousers. They go, inevitably, at the knees - tear across rather than wear through. He's not that tall, so finding decent...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    So.....if I were to be a hideous smart-alec, next time someone tells me they're "going Tesco's" (without the preposition, which also irritates, but... ) they're gong to buy tea The supermarket is Tesco, says so on the bags, but the tea is Tesco's, as it belongs to the supermarket.... *evil...

    Sewing failures

    I made the V*A New Look pattern - it was a free download printable pattern from one of their exhibitions and I made it in a lilac gingham. Wore it with petticoats and heel. I looked as if I was wearing fancy dress. I made the pattern again, in a very expensive black wool crepe with a red silk...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I wonder if it's supposed to be short for "Tesco's shop?" They don't say "Waitrose's"... people go to Waitrose.... or Iceland (insert appropriate shop of your choice) it is simply not consistent GAAAH!!!

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I don't drive, though Himself does -our car is sufficient filthy all by itself not to need it - so my main gripe is with much, much sillier things.... random possessives! Tesco, the UK shop, is almost invariable referred to as Tesco's. Tesco's what?!!!

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    I'm back.... the artist formerly known as Kishtu but lost my login... demmit. I love the New Look but it doesn't love me, so I'm slowly readjusting my ambitions to the 40s look instead. Author (17th century historical thrillers - no sales pitches from this quarter!) embroider-er, dressmaker...
