With everything else on the list as good as done, started, on hold while I untangled my feet from my camera bag straps for the umpteenth time, it was time to take some action!
Why do modern backpacks have so much spare webbing that flaps around when you are on your bike, catches on your car door, or when you put it on the ground to get something out of it, is designed to flop in the nearest melted ice cream or puddle of indescribable goo? My old favourite day pack, which has accompanied me around the world more than once has at least eleventeen of the rotten things.
I've used a few different methods of constraint over the years with varying degrees of success. Just this morning while assessing the situation, I took off eight bits of velcro, two custom bought clippy things, a zip tie and a piece of rubberweld tape, and for an hour or two I've let the thing go commando! What a mess.
But all is not lost.
In the interests of procrastination I put everything aside for a bit and drew some little slide-on clippy things that will make that problem simply go away.
A few hours later, with dozens of new bits clipped on every backpack and bag in the house, and as usual in complete awe of a technology that is seriously like having a magic wand at our disposal, the cause of much vexation over many years has completely disappeared!

I suppose you're going to be clipping everything into place now, Peter. You're right about the magic wand thing...okay, so you had to draw them, but wow!! Amazing!
