^ (Relatively-)New stockings. They're surprisingly comfortable... And people either like them or appear to be confused by them.

In other thoughts, I bought spraypaint today. The guys at the local hardware store were actually helpful. This isn't usual, as most of the time they're too busy pretending you don't exist. Or that they have no idea what you're talking about. Like some kind of unfunny version of Hardware (or unfunnier).

But maybe because it was spraypaint and they were wanting to make sure I wasn't going to go mad and spray the entire town in a variety of colours and wibbly, wobbly lines with a lot of drift and drips. Thank goodness I made a stencil for the spraypainting of the numbers, even though it looks like total pants. Still thinking of finding that skull stencil and spraying that onto the bins. Maybe over the top of the crummy-looking numbers...
