I have returned to playground duty following a very busy day.... more anon. Now for the Roll call..... @Steph - You forgot one! :evil: @Nelly - Agony Aunt? Nah! Grandad tried that but it didn't last. @Maynard - I think St Patrick banished cockroaches with the snakes from Ireland! It was a long time ago and I can't remember! :lol: @Nancy - Several serious readers do the book reviews already. Anyway it takes me a year to read a chapter, never mind a full book! :sad: @WWW - I think I showed the skiens before - Sari silk thread. @Ramana - Left hands are all right! @Magpie - Move the bin! ;) @Jean - Thanks for the book review. @Baino - It was a tiring day. @Anne Kelly - Welcome to the circus! If you are looking for a Member of Parliament or Military Police, you are in the wrong place. As it happens I do know an Anne Kelly with a daughter called Rebecca and a son called Thomas. @Brighid - A change, they say is as good as a rest. Anyone know who 'They' are? Morning Campers!

She became a nun when she was still 17, which is a lot older than kids who go to the Koran schools. It makes you realize how even intelligent people could give their lives to their version of God. She's a respected scholar on religious issues now so it's interesting to read about her life. No wonder her books have such great depth.

Handy hints...mm! could have done with a warning about that one.... Somewhere we had a whole book about Vinegar. I've just remembered it! Back to thinking about handy hints.... Sherry Vinegar ..I knew Steph had missed something from her list..... I need a hint on how to get rid of or discourage vinegar flies...aka fruit flies or Drosophila spp. I've tried everything I can think of. They are a government sponsored pest. We have to recycle our garden and kitchen waste and the Brown Bins attract them like nobody's business! Then they get indoors..the only on in our house that likes them is the kitten who tries to catch them. Rum…exchange one of them for a right hand!
