Daria

Some years ago my cousin P laughingly advised me that Daria, from the cartoon of the same name, was really me! As I loved the cartoon I didn't think anything of it - in fact I took it as a bit of a compliment cos she is a particularly smart cookie.

I have just watched the opening credits (yes I am still sewing) and I realize that I really am Daria - I laugh at different things in the movies and seem to have a different perspective to all others around me - and don't get me on playing competitive sport (an emphasis on ME being competitive). I even where Blundies if I have to wear a skirt (twice a year max). I love it!!!

I know P's original comment was a passing observation but I have, just at this moment, realized how insightful that somewhat throw-away comment really was.

Love your work P :-)

LHoP rocks when it comes to skirts and boots. the bonnets, corsets, florals, lack of electricity or running water are another matter but skirts and boots - yeah!

Do do remember when Laura Ingles became Laura Ingles Wilder????
