Wow, this sock project has proven a couple of things to me so far – primarily that there's more of you reading this than I thought there were, and also that the dreaded sock shortage extends to Fair Oceania as
2007-06-13 : Where would we ever be without the internet!?
Oooooh yeah, feast your sensory organs on this little nugget! Ordinarily I wouldn't write a whole blog entry about a random link, however this is too good not to draw to your proper attention. How HAS the world gotten this
2007-06-12 : Socks appeal
I've been wearing red Explorer socks (Holeproof Explorer – the 4WD of socks) since I was about 15. Not 100% sure why, but I suspect it's cos Explorer socks are nice & thick, and they're good for preventing blisters and
2007-06-12 : Weird dreams, and not a piece of cheese in sight.
