Everyone, meet Trevor
Dear Trevor,
Welcome to the world wide weird reality of Andrea’s sock dolls! You were created as a project for Loobylu’s A Month of Softies (and encouragement from Kristen). I had no patterns for an elephant, let alone an accessorised elephant, so I had to make one up using my imagination and negligible sewing skills.
You have been made with two different white socks. In fact, your body is made of the same sock that I used in my first attempt (aborted). I’d call you a clone if it wasn’t for the fact that your predecessor looked more like a gigantic butt plug than an elephant. Your coloured feet and eyes are from a scrap piece of sock left over from a previous project.
As I did with Dave not so long ago, I’d like to apologise, young Trev — for attaching your ears in a most lopsided manner and making your trunk look like you’ve had a botched nose job. However, I’ve tacked a stripey scarf round your neck to keep you warm this winter.
Love,
Mum

(some fool had to say it!)
Kris, Trev is sitting next to Dave in our living room. Hehe.
Maria, is that a gauntlet? If I manage to make one, you have to accept it as a gift, no matter how fugly it is.
Sobi, thanks for the link, it’s great stuff.
TuTu, it’s a shame I didn’t see you at the rugby last night!
Sorry I missed you, watched the rugby live at home. Not feeling well (too much Friday night). Next weekend England and Australia. Trying to find a LIVE venue (other than my place - for the smokers!). Will let you know if you like?
YES! The Londoner was quite good, just late. You must do some research on satellite television among the lads in Xiamen.
Done the research. To get all the foreign channels you need to subscribe to the (slightly illegal) thai or phiplipines network which delays the Rugby telecasts (i.e. Londoner). My bldg has the local Star Sports network provided which strangely plays the Rugby live(work that out?) but I get f*ck all else except HBO and CNN.
No other pub broadcasts the local Star Sports network?
Maybe the house, but I don’t drink there, so can’t say.
With Wayne no longer managing The House, I don’t know if they’ll be showing rugby anymore.
I’m sure Paul will sort it out if he knows a bunch of folk want to watch.
Just got an e-mail from Paul, he’s no longer at The House.
I’ll text you the scores!
