Restored headphones

There are somethings you buy, use, and bin as they've become too worn or damaged to be of use and there others where they can be given a new lease of life.

Take my BayerDynamic DT770Pro headphones bought in 2020 at the peak of the Covid era, not cheap but very high quality headphones designed for monitoring in a variety of differing impedances that while still working well, the padded head rest had started to get a bit frayed with bits breaking off.

Fortunately not only are replacements available but it has a bend over with press stubbs fit so you literally unclip and remove taking care to keep the cable tidy and fit over and seal the new one with the stubbs.

They heaphones now look as good as new.

Attitudes to appearences

The week it must be said hasn't got off to a great start with severe cramp in my leg so I'm limping around, unable to get in the bath, getting a few things done that normally I wouldn't.

Our childhood attitudes to things like school uniform do vary, many of us can recall peers that never seemed to get the full hang of it, always at least one item short or not wearing it tidily and others who seemed happy in it even if it wasn't seen to be cool to really like wearing it.

Some schools just have a dress code - if it's on it then where it comes from isn't an issue - where others had formal uniform with ties that had to got from certain specific companies and vendors.

I wouldn't of had to be told off for not liking my uniform - frankly that lads would do fine for me at the time - but tended to moan because one school I went to actually didn't being run by "progressive" types which made no sense as I felt embarrassed when on school trips where other boys looked much smarter than we did!

Perhaps its hardly surprising that as a legal adult I always pay attention to how I look at important events and situations?

Party time return

Catch up will be achieved sooner ot later after the weekends activities but one thing remains as I type this late Tuesday, which is I and my muse remain very much as one from how I used to wait by the family car to today how I am when people kindly offer me lifts.

Lifts come into play with the Halloween Party where we had a treasure hunt, a quiz and people had halloween connected outfits on and some fireworks.

One is about to take off!

That's more what this whole thing is really more about, the magic of the parties we loved as kids being returned as eternal boys with all that wonder and spontinuity rather than owt else whatever some elsewhere might think.

I'm still him.
