Legwarmers.

I wonder how practical legwarmers (see trend) are. I had a pair of blue knitted legwarmers when I was 7 and did gymnastics, I did not understand them. But they might be useful. To wear, for example, under a dress while you go to work, but then you can pull them off when you get to work and it's heated. Interesting.

Old photos.

I like seeing photos of familiar places a long time ago. It's mind-blowing to contrast the change. I found this page today, all nicely labelled of the time and place. The George St post office building surrounded by scaffolding. St Andrews Cathedral surrounded by nothing. And Pitt St looking like Morpeth. And you can hover over pictures and see the now and then changes.
