@dieworkwear A colleague just gifted me two bolts of proper old-school cashmere - one grey, one camel - totalling around 3m of each. I'm making a gilet for the colleague, but what else should I make with this precious fabric?

have never seen a piece of clothing advertised on Instagram that wasn't atrocious. stretchy spandex suits, t-shirts you can wear for 3 yrs without washing, business casual chinos made from multipolytheorthane fabric that's WINDPROOF, FIREPROOF, AND BOMBPROOF [explosion sound]

Twitter's targeted ads are hilariously missing the point. Case in point - this ad pops up in the middle of a thread from @dieworkwear 🤣

@GardeningExpres the order I placed in mid-April STILL hasn't arrived. I've tried to contact you via other methods but no joy. Assuming the plant is dead now, @evri_parcel tracking shows it's apparently still sat in their depot...

@Tesco trying to get hold of your River Way Andover store pharmacy - I had a prescription sent there a week ago and despite going in to check, and leaving my name and number, they haven't found the prescription that was sent to them, or contacted me.
I'm without essential meds!!

@BorisJohnson @kemibadenoch @trussliz @DisRightsUK @DisabilityNow @AoDisability #discrimination #employmentlaw It is wholly unconscionable that our elected leaders are being publicly discriminated against. Equalities legislation must apply to those at the forefront of democracy,

So now I'm told I can't take part virtually in the emergency debate on Monday about virtual access to Parliament. I'm being disenfranchised from my right to debate my own disenfranchisement! Utter madness.

@HHFTnhs I see some trusts have asked local sewists for help such as making scrub sets and scrub caps etc. Is this something HHFT wants/needs? Please point me to information if it is.

@StarbucksUK I was in the Barton Stacey services yesterday, topped up my card (card had a bit on it already but not enough) and went to pay - a portion of the bill was paid (more than the amount that was on the card pre-topup) and the account balance was 0. 1/2
