chick<8000clicks>chick: Stitch in Time

… saves nine?

According the The Phrase Finder:

The Anglo Saxon work ethic is being called on here. Many English proverbs encourage immediate effort as superior to putting things off until later; for example, ‘one year’s seeds, seven year’s weeds’, ‘procrastination is the thief of time’ and ‘the early bird catches the worm‘.

A Stitch in Time ...

A Stitch in Time ...

I’m the ticking bomba-relógio on the left while djbeat is displaying her superior mending efforts on the right.

      Best quote I read on a blog the other day, I have it stuck to a post it above my desk: “Begun is half done.
