Have l Lost The Plot?

There has been a cold wind here lately, so l put on a longish cardigan l have.
I noticed a button was missing at the top and could see where it had been. I found a similar navy button and sewed it on whilst l was still wearing the cardigan and did it up.
This morning, l put the cardigan on and l now have a spare button at the top but no buttonhole!

So where did l go wrong?


Have you ever lost the plot?

It's the solitude and isolation doing it Art.
You'll be better soon.
Oh . . and put your specs on.

Most of my cardigans have not only a spare button at the top, but a spare buttonhole at the bottom... I always thought it a damned useful design feature...

Did you spot that there was a spare button at the bottom of the other side?

Re: Have l Lost The Plot?

Yep. Many times. One memorable one was when I was playing backgammon with a few friends. One of those friends was a large bottle of bourbon. Late in the evening when I was fairly stewed and it was my turn I tried to take a swig out of the dice cup while I threw my dice into my drink and shook it all over everybody. That's the only one I will admit to.

Don't worry about it Artangel, you are not the only one!

These days of self-isolation I realise the plot has been lost when I reckon a button hole is missing and I start asking myself if I know where it is!

Oh Foxy, Why did you go and tell me that? I am the most superstitious person you’ll ever meet and had never heard of that superstition.

Now l’m really worried....
