Re: [lace-chat] not your typical Sunday morning!

One of the lead stories on our news this morning was about the increased 
number of crocodiles in northern Australia which has closed many of the 
swimming areas in the area around Darwin.

It is either a major problem in Australia, or we are having a slow news day 
in Canada!

Malvary in Ottawa where we will have another lovely day today, but perhaps 
some clouds later.

[lace-chat] Books on eBay

2005-05-07 Thread Carol Adkinson
Hi All,

A little while back there was a request for the Tiny Zwaal Lint books - there
are now some on eBay, and the numbers are below:

Bobbin Lace Patterns - Foreword by Pamela Nottingham - number 8190321053
This is the one with the blue cover.

New Bobbin Lace Patterns - there are two of these, and the numbers are:
8303862988 and 8304374721.This is the one with the pink cover.

I have them both, so won't be bidding - so whoever does bid, Good Luck!

Carol - in Suffolk UK, where it has been windy and chilly at times, dark skies
with thunder and lightning at times, and sunny intervals at other times!

[lace-chat] not your typical Sunday morning!

2005-05-07 Thread Noelene Lafferty
It must be a slow news day there Malvary - it hasn't reached the
news here in Australia, and it has ALWAYS been dangerous to
swim in the sea or in river/creek water around Darwin.  Suicidal
would be more the word.

Noelene in Cooma, where it is well into Autumn, far from the
tropical climate of Darwin thank goodness.  I lived close to
Darwin once, marvellous experience at the time, but once was
enough!

Dear friends,

As it is a little quiet, I thought you might like to try this for a bit of
fun, it reads long, but does not take long to do.
I don't think we have seen it before, if we have so sorry to repeat.

in Somerset. U.K. where it has been a beautiful sunny day with blue skies,
and lovely heavenly perfumed Viburnum blossoms, azaleas, apple blossom and
cherry blossom, birds with mouths full of worms and insects feeding young
chicks, it is a lovely time of year.

[lace-chat] need a bed cover?

2005-05-07 Thread Alice Howell
An interesting filet lace bed cover is on eBay, if anyone has need of 
one.  It has angels on it.  It's listed as Italian Bed Cover and has no 
bids yet.  Only a day to go.

Alice in Oregon -- lace fan 99.5 percent done.  That last bit is a real pain.

We have been watching the Jamie Oliver TV series on the School dinners, and 
his effort to get decent food into the schools.

Do the kids have to pay for these dinners, and if so, how much?
I have a feeling they are free, but not sure.
It has been a real eye-opener, to see what the kids have been used to.   We 
were appalled at the little girl who had the 3 choc bars and a bag of chips 
for her lunch each day.
And some kids did not know what a sandwich was!

Good luck to Jamie.  He is doing a great job educating folks on what good 
food is.
