velcro 13 June 2011
VELCRO – okay, hook and loop haberdashery technology came to us (strictly speaking) in 1958 from the Swiss but was commercialised, etc, later by others. Velcro always reminds me of those wild flower stalks that caught you by their hooked claws as you ran wild through fields and I have no doubt that’s where the inspiration came from…though, having said that, I didn’t check said detail so I am leaving it as a McLynn “No Doubt”…Bit pully, all the same, plants and Velcro…
In other news, Alice and Brenda far prefer when the ‘big’ door is left open for them into the back garden, as opposed to them having to bend (EVER so slightly) to get through their cat flap (a contraption I will never be able to use, but hey ho they seem not to care about sharing there) and so they were delighted to have it open all afternoon as the Hairies and Notquitesohairy went to and fro – equanimity, happiness, harmony…a good Monday, then
