because I've finished doing the alteration on a dress I like.
How's you?

I went to the pub last night.
What have you done to your dress?

I have a very short torso. Fitted dresses sit in the wrong place and don't accommodate my shape, but when you shorten the straps (in this case it was more complicated than straps) everything falls into place.

Nope, I'm not a dab hand, but I'm determined to learn this year.
I can make cushions, curtains and do alterations, but I want to make clothes and make a quilt.

but I do think I'll benefit if I learn to tailor-make.
I have peculiar tastes, and then there's the short torso.

Back when I were a lad, clothes were nearly always 'adjusted' by a well meaning parent, school trousers were always too big so they'd be taken up and taken in, only for you to grow into them and for the changes to be undone.
It's a skill people don't seem to need these days, as a supermarket will kit out a child in a school uniform for about a fiver.

So my Dad was the one who taught me how to sew buttons on and things.

I also drank whisky, that manky stuff with the gold flakes in it, and beer.

I decided to nip the pub to see my friend (who was working), and thought I'd have a pint while I was there. One turned into two, we won a few quid on the itBox, so that went straight into the till as well, and one of the regulars there insisted on buying me a drink because I'd made him laugh until beer came out his nose.
Got home at 1:30, and decided this would be the perfect time to drink the ale I had left, while having a quick play on the web. I got to bed at 3. Ow.

The barmaid and I were discussing preferences on pubic hair (she's an odd girl), and I simply pointed out that when I'm going down on a girl, I'm there to eat, not floss.

Well done.
Wanna play 'name that disaster?'
