Given that this is the first entry, I ought to be writing more but the truth is - I haven't time. I've got errands to run and things to take care of; most urgent among them is the need to purchase buckles for vests, which I am about to do now.
P.S. I've taken up sewing - having bought a machine about a month ago - and I've now made three vests and am working on a fourth but I've run out of buckles for the belts in the back. We'll return to this another time...
