"That's what makes us special!"
Life is good...even if it is a bit strange....

It is amazing we are the only species that doesn't know how to feed itself, don't see any wild critters giving themselves heart disease or diabetes. Mind you our domesticated animals don't fare so well - like to share our overconsumption around.
It was only the other day that I was thinking about buying my man a jumper...when I was a youngster, there wasn't this great array of knit wear in the shops, instead there was knitting yarns, needles and patterns, people actually knitted their own garments. I remember that I once knitted myself a dress. Trying to find a knitting pattern book now that has a sensible every day type of sweater in it is impossible.
Thank goodness we are still able to grow most of our own food.
Great comment Kirsty
