Oh my goodness this day dream gets better! What will you call your boat? I might call mine Rumplestiltskin or The Groke
i think it'd have to be wabi-sabi because everything i own is and a boat will be no different "Wabi-sabi celebrates elements that are weathered, worn or rusted. Wabi comes from the root "wa" which means harmony, peace, tranquility and balance. Sabi means "the bloom of time.
Nice coat ,It's sort of a cross between Dolly Parton/Joseph and Adam Ant, IF I was a girl , well I might wear it anyway. Darron
@Merlin Cat & @Ermintrude . I hate to be the one to bring you both back down to earth with a bang, but have you stopped to think that you'll both be handling the woolie Y Fronts that@Barry Haynes has worn! Sorry to mention this especially just before bedtime (nightmares an all that) but me and @snotty had a vote on who should mention it and I lost!
hahaha.... i love the concept of embracing the imperfections (I have to! ) I love the japanese art of kintsugi too. i don't have any but love the idea of something becoming more beautiful and valued for being broken
all my things are non gender specific items I'm going to be making hooded and non hooded ponchos too.... just need some woollies! I've so many ideas i want to try and things to make but not the materials... yet
Fortunately as I’m in a harmonious, spiritual mood I shall channel my raggle taggle gipsy-o daydream to overpower the Y fronts nightmare.
we'd be sending them off to a local business to wash (dding to the local economy), then i would have a small sewing room boat towed behind my main living boat where i would happily work with ALL that wool
Right lovely folk, I’m off to bed as Cambridge Folk Festival and Patti Smith beckons tomorrow so I need some kip. I shall drift off with tunes from Oliver and a jaunty whistle soothing me to sleep
oooh @Merlin Cat thank you for delivering the wotsit malarkey! he's v happy especially as he now has a new plumber!
Hurrah! He gave me some postcards too. I said I would give them to you but he said you already had some He’s got a little bambi type van that I look at when I’m driving down that road. Now I actually know the owner!!!
are they the MT postcards? i have them but not the tax disc stuff but he's going to send me one what's a bambi type van?
The more you learn about them.. the stranger northern folk become.. @Ermintrude. @Merlin Cat Woolly coats .... in the hottest year since @Poptop2 was a lad
