The button flew off my camouflaged shorts as the sun started to head below the rooftops. Cunning military button was hard to find in the grass, but I got it after a few minutes of scouring the lawn, sector by sector.
After a day of problem solving – throwing ideas and fasteners at the Slackyderm – I resolved to refit the button in the quickest way possible. Glue? Screw-gun? Hot glue? Weld it? Solder it? This plastic military technology was foiling the old favourites. Hurray for cable ties. Job done.
