[lace-chat] Tea/coffee/hot choc preferences
I drink a lot of decaf instant sweet black coffee, more because I'm too lazy (or too busy) to brew tea, and I limited myself to one caf loaded coffee a day because more than one and I can't sleep. But I love hot chocolate, and my favourite here in Cooma is a Mocha - a hot chocolate with a shot of espresso. Needs no extra sweetening for my sweet tooth, and gives me a lift. And made to perfection in one particular coffee shop here in a large heatproof glass mug with a metal handle. (You've got to try this shop next visit, Jenny R) I don't like tea in a mug - tastes wrong. I prefer fine bone china for my tea, and often go to a friend's house and ask for tea (when offered) as she makes it from rain water collected from their shed roof. (In a country area, our rainwater is nice and chemical pollution free - I can't collect it, because our roof is made of copper - if anyone finds this strange, have a look a pictures of my home on my website below). It tastes entirely different to tap water.

[lace-chat] Gossamer threads/evolution
Joy writes Which is why some kangaroos have faces like deer, leave deer turds on walkways, and jump out in front of cars just like deer. Don't taste much like venison, though, and I haven't heard of them invading suburban gardens to eat the tomato plants. In drought times, in country areas like ours, kangaroos will invade gardens and eat EVERYTHING (including roses, let alone tomato plants). But no, they don't taste like venison. Kangaroo meat is very, very lean, no fat at all, and not much taste to talk of. Of course, there is always kangaroo tail soup - a bit like stone soup, it's all the other things you add that gives it any real flavour. I have tasted venison (in New Zealand). I wasn't over impressed. And they also minced it and served it in patties like hamburgers - my son called them Bambi Burgers and put everyone off them.

[lace-chat] Bedfordshire lace
Jean in Poole wrote Although how making leaves can be considered quick, I don't know - I find them very difficult and slow. The teachers could all be wrong of course. The proof in the pudding could be that the El Cheapo bobbin lace that comes from China is usually a type of Bedfordshire, so they must find it quick and easy.

On my recent trip to Fiji I got some more Indian recipes from Roshlyn - the wife of my friend Pravin, with whom I stay over there. Here they are for your enjoyment, David in Ballarat Ah, the Indian spice aromas of the Fiji markets. I lived in Lautoka once, David, and got to enjoy the locally available ingredients. Did you ever get to eat pulisami, made with taro leaves, real coconut cream fresh out of the coconut with a trace of chili, rolled into parcels and baked? I have had a Fijian friend (actually from Rotuma) stop with us recently, and he brought me a big stack of rotis made with Indian flour and almost dripping with unsalted butter, made by his sister now living in Sydney.

Jean, if you can get through the Da Vinci Code (I found I had to read it right through, to my annoyance, because it was so poorly written and a load of rubbish), then please give the Harry Potter books a go.

But Da Vinci Code I found I had to finish, then I immediately gave to my daughter in law (who has exactly the same ready attitude and tastes as I do) with the instructions for her to read it and give it away, that I did NOT want it back!

[lace-chat] lace and music
Moving this from Lace to Chat, as it could get to be a very chatty type of thread! Once a Beach Boys fan, always a Beach Boys fan. Their music never ages. I feel sorry for today's teens and their deadly boring music. But making lace?I too prefer the classics as I lace, and again, the steady rhythm, but my favourite is Mozart. My all time favourite is a double CD of the soundtrack from an Australian half hour documentary series called A River Somewhere, where a couple of men go fishing (mostly casting/ fly fishing) in streams and rivers all over Australia. The music is mostly guitar, a bit of harmonica, and is perfect background music for both lacing and for driving.

Liz writes We have 2 ladies honourd here in Oz, with the Oz version - The Order of Australia. Rosemary Shepherd, and Norah Benopath(?) The lady's name is Norma Benporath, an expert in tatting. She was one of the most prolific designers of tatting ever, and her stuff continued to be published during WWII for the morale of the women at home - a special paper allocation was made during wartime so her leaflet style book could be printed. The hard cover book Every Woman's Complete Guide to Tatting Illustrated was published after the war, in the early 1950's.

[lace-chat] Eden retreat - trip home
Got to share this with everyone. Spent a marvellous time on the far south coast of NSW this weekend at a lace retreat. It happens the weekend after Mothers Day each year, and has been a regular event for many years. Lacemakers from all over NSW and Victoria attend. We met up with Pene Piip's mother Marion from Narooma for the weekend, shared our motel rooms with her. About to drive home, she said she had been told of a Bead Gallery near Pambula, and as she had the instructions to get there, we could follow. We'd just see if it was open Sunday afternoons. About half a K down a dirt track off the main highway, we found this shed like place called Bead Gallery and Angel Junk. There was a car there, but no-one in sight. We walked in, to be confronted with a wall of packets of beads, bowls of them, workshop table full of them, and lots of other Angel junk - angels, figurines, hard to describe. Just lots of stuff. We browsed for about 10 minutes before someone came. She said she had been recovering from a market she had done that morning. Her name is Spider (true, it's on her card!) which was funny enough. She talks to angels, she says - like, watch out if you ask St Michael for something, you're likely to get it but you have to clean up the mess aftwards! We all bought beads, and when we'd finished, she disappeared and came back with a gift each which just suited us - she seemed to be able to sum us up so well - mine was an enamelled jointed Chinese fish. On the way out, there was a chair beside the door with two old dolls in a very bad state - soot stained clothes, singed hair, very sad. Apparently, someone close to her had had their house burned down (could have been her daughter, didn't quite get all the conversation, I was putting stuff in the car) but these dolls had been rescued and were sitting in the chair Until God sends someone to fix them. These were her actual words, I heard them clearly. This brought me to an abrupt halt. My friend Marion is a porcelain doll expert, a kind and generous person, and very much into her church in Narooma. Needless to say Marion took the two porcelain dolls, another smaller doll and the poor sooty teddy bear. We cradled them like children to her car, and made them all comfortable in a special box. Spider was so very happy, but not surprised at all, as if she knew quite well that Marion had been sent to take care of them!. Quite an ending to our weekend!

[lace-chat] Credit cards and banks
The exchanges on this topic have been interesting, comparing the different systems in other countries. One thing not mentioned is the existence of internet banks, like INGdirect, who will hold your money for you at the equivalent of or a bit more than fixed deposit rates, but you can transfer in to and out from your own bank account, all with no charges at all. At the moment, here in Australia I get 5.40% per annum, calculated and credit to my account monthly. In the USA I think it is 2.80%, better than the 0.5% Tamara gets. They have no credit cards, no cheque books, no direct debit, etc. You just link it with your own bank account. All usual disclaimers, etc., I'm just a happy customer who likes getting a little bit of interest on my paltry few dollers. My son just signed up so that he can use it as a regular savings account, having a fixed sum transferred in every payday.

[lace-chat] TV soapies
I got cured of TV soapies (which The Bill became - the original series were really good) many years ago, (like over 30!) when I used to watch Days of Our Lives. My husband was working on a civil engineering project, and I made friends with a group of Yugoslavian wives who spoke little English. They would often invite me to their places and DOOL would be on the TV, and they would ask me to explain the plot to them. We would always end up laughing until we ached at the absurdities of it and after that, I could never watch any soapie without getting the giggles. Same with on the street type interviews - I've got the original video of Creature Comforts, the claymation people who made Chicken Run and the Wallace and Grommit series, and whenever I see someone being interviewed with a mike stuck in front of them, I get the giggles. (And I knew my friend had selected a better second husband, her first was a disaster, when we watched the Wallace and Grommit tapes before the shows had been on TV, and he rolled around laughing at them). BTW, we no more think England resembles The Bill than I hope those in the UK think life in Australia resembles the Oz soapies we seem to export to you in large quantities).

*Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're The statue. * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. * Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker. * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague. * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. * Never buy a car you can't push. * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on. * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late. * The second mouse gets the cheese. * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live. * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person. * Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once. * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box. * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
