    yup, or simply a piece of twisted wire, which, OK, you have to replace from time to time. I think you might be able to get those ties from a gardening place.

    I'm sitting in the shade, the sun isn't even really shining but it is so humid, and I am leaking so much that I have decided to go in and sit with a fan about metre from me. We need yet another storm or some rain.
