No Wonder It's Hard To Find Jeans That Are Long Enough

As it turns out I am far taller than I used to be (and when I say that I mean taller than I was when I was 18, not taller than I was when I was a baby). I think that the last time I actually checked how tall I was was in the dwindling days of high school and now, a decade or so later, I find that I am 3cm taller (which I suspect may be due solely to improvements in posture rather than any sort of belated growth). Well, given that I measured myself by putting a packet of blu-tack on my head (to make a straight line to the wall so I could draw a mark on it) and then measuring the distance with a 10cm-long set square (apparently the only measuring device we have) it probably wasn't as accurate as it could have been, but it feels right. By which I mean it feels as though Reto is getting shorter and shorter. Sigh.
