igenlodeThis is the first morning for several days that there hasn't been ice on the inside of my bedroom windows... although I'm still having to mop up the condensation before it pools on the windowsill. (I keep an old sock on the radiator for the purpose.)
There was a nasty ripping noise from inside the sleeve of my favourite jacket as I pulled it on this morning. Closer inspection revealed that not only had the lining just torn through, but it was heavily worn in a number of other places as well. I spent half an hour painstakingly sewing up the long rip I'd just inflicted, plus the place where the seam of the lining had gone, but there are an awful lot of others just waiting to tear.
Moral: even velvet jackets don't last for ever (the collar is starting to look a bit greasy, as well -- despite constant care to keep it outside my shirt collar).
Am wearing the other jacket, as it was a bit cold to sit around in shirt-sleeves while doing emergency repairs.
Did another good whack at the typing up of Sonnie Hale notes last night, having now nearly completed one entire notebook (out of thirteen!) Thanks to my bulk purchase I am of course still about five bars of soap in debt, as it were; but I'm used to functioning on guilt, anyhow. (I really feel quite lost on the rare occasions when I cast around and discover that there actually isn't anything that I ought to be doing in preference to my current activity!)
