And my sheets in the 80s were a lot better, thats a fact. They were super comfy and fresh - I smell conspiracy!Miles McClaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335102965842725449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-79158111776603662892009-03-07T11:14:00.000-08:002009-03-07T11:14:00.000-08:00I agree!

I actually had a discussion with someone about this recently and they suggested that the fabric was the same but my skin was just 20 years older and thus more haggard.Kettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555996290361714986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-69880524306983693782009-03-07T00:15:00.000-08:002009-03-07T00:15:00.000-08:00The idea of anyone laying their coat/cape over mud...The idea of anyone laying their coat/cape over muddy ground for someone to walk that extra, what, metre? in a muddy paddock has always worried and confused me. What about the poor coat/cape? Do you throw it out after such a mudding, or spend hours with it in the tub? I think buying milk for someone is perfectly gallant, and decidedly less messy.Kettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555996290361714986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-79176200054046633382009-03-07T00:10:00.000-08:002009-03-07T00:10:00.000-08:00You can get it in Tasmania I would think - we stil...You can get it in Tasmania I would think - we still have pipe shops, and who's buying a pipe?Miles McClaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335102965842725449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-31821023022425026522009-03-06T14:14:00.000-08:002009-03-06T14:14:00.000-08:00God you have so much excitement!
