My tape measure.

 

This is not my real tape measure - mine has a yellow plastic casing and says 'PlaceMakers' (written as one word) on one side. 

It also says, "Know how. Can do. 8m POWER TAPE."

I've had it for quite a long time. I've measured many things with it. My tape measure is totally metric - there are no inches or feet. Its label also tells us that it has a 25mm blade. The blade is actually a reinforced bit at the end that you can use to hang over things. It also has a clip so that you can hang it on your belt.

I thought Peter would enjoy this post. Really, it's up there with his coffee machine post. Okay, I must give it to him, he did add a bit of drama with The Old Girl liking a newer machine. Unfortunately, Shelley has no interest in tape measures. If I'd wanted to add drama, I would have had to lie to you. 

I could have written something like, "Shelley bought a new tape measure the other day and uses it all the time. She says that I should replace mine. I asked her if she replaces her old friends. She said that I was a silly old man."

If you enjoyed this post, please leave a comment.

Ciao tutti.

Watch the grammar Rob. ("Can you tape measure tell me?") In the post I say that my tape measure is only in metric, but I can tell you that a metre is about 3 feet.

Would someone with club feet be half a foot?

Go for a walk in the yard.

Oh mammy.

Actually, the line went, "I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles."

Mammy was very popular.

Then you're going to Hell. Lazy bastard!

No, my gout is under control.

Yes but how's your chacun?

A bit worn.
