igenlodeI have just spent an hour in *finally* getting round to taking a tuck in the seat of the set of short-sleeved hot-weather pyjamas that ripped up the back this summer -- they are at least twenty years old (in addition to being second-hand when I got them!) and have now become so thin as to be indecent, so I am not sure how long the repair will last. They have only survived this long by virtue of being made of artificial fibre instead of cotton, and by being so lightweight that I only resort to them in a heatwave, but even synthetic will eventually chafe through with friction against the sheets...
Fortunately (being second-hand) they have always been on the large side, so they will probably still fit despite having had an inch-wide slice folded into the back seam. I'm afraid I didn't attempt to try them on to test the matter since I was already wearing far too many clothes and really didn't fancy undressing under the circumstances! So we shan't find out until next summer. I did, however, take the opportunity to likewise put away all the other assorted bits of lightweight clothing that had escaped the Great Changeover -- I always miss out a few things.
(I have just remembered that the reason why the linen jackets had not been put away was that I'd been planning to wash their collars first, but it is too late now...)
And while I was engaged in doing that, virtue was rewarded by my receiving two more hits on "Little Gentlemen" -- doubling the abysmal total on Chapter 2 -- and a subscription, which means that at least someone (and presumably not on Dreamwidth, since chapters always appear here first anyway for proofreading purposes) is interested enough to want to know what happens next :-)
