Miscellaneous

1. I am very proud of British women after reading this exceptionally obnoxious article.
   
   American women have no qualms about telling their friends, in no uncertain terms, when they look like crap, or have put on weight, or are dressed like a bag-lady. They talk of the top aestheticians with a reverence usually reserved for Nobel laureates and trade cosmetic surgeon business cards the way that boys in playgrounds trade football cards. Um, that's supposed to be a good thing?
   
   It comes as no surprise that the author of the article is "a screenwriter (single) who divides his time between London and Los Angeles". Prat. It almost boggles the mind, but the comments are even more sexually and racially offensive than the article itself.
   
   
2. After several minutes of manically refreshing the page I have, for the first time, succeeded in purchasing some Posh Yarn. I got one skein (430 yards) of Lucia sock yarn (70% merino, 30% cashmere) in 'Delight' which is a delicious mix of sage green, denim blue, rose and cream. They update their shop each week at 6pm on a Sunday and are usually sold out completely within less than an hour.




3. The sink unit I wanted for the Old Shed is reduced by £80 so I have bought it. There is also a matching wall cabinet (sadly not on sale).
