Finally losing the thread ......

Today I spent some time trying to thread my trusty needle

and all to no avail.  I bit the tip of the thread a couple of times

to try and facilitate easy threading.  In a desperate bid to

get stitching I even trimmed the thread in case it was a bit

frayed and that this was the problem but all to no avail.

It was a bit dumpsey outside so I put on a light

and the pin dropped (to use a stitching metaphor)  .......

..... I had the bloody thing upside down and was trying to

thread the point!

Should have gone to SpecSavers.
