I've come to the view that if one stops using money as the benchmark of evaluation, there's a massive shift of priorities and a whole lot of things matter a great deal less.

In this case, there will be some family with little kids for whom plates like these make life immensely easier, which will in turn enable them to be kinder to each other. And chances are, in this town, they wouldn't have been able to afford them from new.Buzzfloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907833292561328868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-1136018148709126102021-03-29T12:59:34.052+01:002021-03-29T12:59:34.052+01:00I find it hard to imagine living somewhere that...I find it hard to imagine living somewhere that's never really cold! In terms of clothes storage space, I think about two-thirds of mine is taken up by garments to keep me warm. Obviously they're bulkier than the warm-weather kit, but they also take much longer to dry, especially the natural-fibre garments. This is something of a conundrum for me. In recent times we've been alerted to the ecological scenario of doom generated by synthetic fibres going through the wash. Apparently over time all of us, from fish clear through to humans, will have more and more plastic integrated into our body tissues via the water courses. A depressing thought.<br />So I've made an effort to veer more in the direction of wool to keep me warm, and away from micro-fleece. <br />I wear roll-neck sweaters, and I hand-wash them so they don't shrink and felt. They take *forever* to dry, especially the necks. So I really need two or three — one to wear, one taking forever to dry, and one in the laundry basket waiting for it to stop raining long enough to make it worth doing some washing.<br /><br />I was interested about your mother loving to shop, while you prefer to stick to the familiar things you already have and don't enjoy clothes shopping! <br />Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-56905376791872168962021-03-29T12:22:50.928+01:002021-03-29T12:22:50.928+01:00Absolutely.

I understand what you say and why you say the things you say.<br /><br />My mother loves to buy clothes and doesn't understand I don't like to shop much at all. I stick to cotton skirts that are homemade and cotton t-shirts. I might add a layer if it is cold but our cold isn't cold at all.<br /><br />God bless.Suzannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-40511895363480084432021-03-28T09:50:17.100+01:002021-03-28T09:50:17.100+01:00What a lovely thing to say!
