Is that Celsius?
Ain’t I in Southern California, and am I not surprised that it’s so hot, since we usually experience june gloom?
Isn’t it supposed to be over 110°F in San Fernando Valley today? Are you to blame for this heat? Can we pay you to stay away?
You were saying?
San Fernando Valley over 110°F? Don’t we expect this? Yes? Long Beach supposed to be 102°F? Crazy?
Isn’t it already 90 this morning in the foothills east of San Diego? And on its way to 105? And as always when it gets hot, isn’t there a moderately worrisome fire in Potrero, about 12 miles east of here? Didn’t we smell the smoke off and on all night?
Wasn’t I just about to ask if people that live in SoCal like it like this?
Isn’t it…toasty here in Ontario?
But isn’t it a dry heat?
How many of you have wanted to smack a Californian when we say, “At least it’s a dry heat” when it’s over 105°F?
Isn’t it still nicer than Charleston was this morning, though?
But aren’t I looking forward to getting back to the PNW?
Dry heat? Haven’t I noticed an increase in the humidity over the years, despite the drought(s)? Wasn’t it drier back in the 70s and 80s?
Why do I still have so many sewing patterns, when I really don’t feel like making my own clothing anymore?
Why don’t I have that many grown up sewing patterns when I’m finally feeling confident enough to sew for grown up office going people?
Ha! Why did I buy these non-office-appropriate patterns, since I am neither a goth, nor a young girly type?
Perhaps I couldn’t resist the 99-cent pattern sale?
Oh, do you have 99-cent pattern sales?
Won’t I also end up with nice but unpractical patterns if I would run into such a thing?
Is the dress on the right (2757) maybe not good to alter a bit, at some lining (also sleeves…) and make-able into a very nice ‘daily’ dress?
Can you resist nice (like good fine corduroy, linen, woolen) fabrics when cheap, even when you do not need it at that moment?
Didn’t I used to buy whatever fabric caught my fancy (which explains why I have so much STUFF in my stash), but haven’t I cut back on unnecessary purchases since I went back to school and had to tighten my purse strings?
Why am I still laughing out loud?
Are you sure it would work without the black parasol?
Because it’s hilarious? Like what the hell was I thinking?
Oh yes, won’t you forget at first the black parasol?
Isn’t ignoring the fabric and other stuff, sometimes also the people inside, the first thing you need to do when choosing a pattern?
Sometimes?
When I am an old woman I shall wear black
With a lace hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and lace gloves
And black sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my parasol along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people’s cemeteries
And learn to spit.
