Remember, remember the 5th of November, why was that again?
oh yeah some guy called Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the houses of parliament, we learnt about it in History in school, but i could not tell you, when it happened, not with out googles help anyway.
Why do they teach us things we are not going to really need to know, to go out there and lead interesting fulfilled lives, why didnt they teach us life skills in school, instead of dates of wars and dates of men trying to blow up a building in London.
I am sat here, wondering about the day, and life and everything, i realise that 2010 is possibly the quickest year i have ever lived through, you know some years in my past seemed to go on for ever, but this year i have barely blinked and the closing is on the horizon.
I sit here drinking a crushed pear cider, its so light its almost not there, lots going on in my head, i have a little headache, i have smoked to much tonight, I am happy though, and looking forward to Billy getting back home.
I have not been reading nearly as much, when i get into bed and open the book, my eyes suddenly dont want to work, i go with it, but realise that sometimes i want to read and will do earnestly, like when your on holiday, read read read read, but at the moment the consensus is that one is not in the mood to read at the moment.
I have though taken up sewing class, and also started to gather information for my application of a visa to allow me to have the right to stay.
A friend has given me a sewing machine to lend, which the teacher says we may bring to class if we want to.
I have found a pattern in an op shop of a 50's style dress, that is just perfect, after going shopping for some fabrics, i am ready to get started.
We have so far learnt how to read the pattern envelope, as when you first see one, its all very confusing, when you do not know what you are looking for, or at, so this was explained, and also about measurements, and how you measure the bust waist and hips, and the bust measurement is determined by measuring the fullest part of the bust, across just above the nipples say (depending on how droppy ure boobs are!)
the back tape measure needs to be sitting across your back, roughly where your bra strap should go ( a good fitting bra), anyway then, your waist is measured by the smallest part of you, and then usually 22 inches down is where u measure for your hips, which is basically the widest part of your arse! and there you have it, i learned a little!
