Wall of Wow

The items I bought while shopping yesterday were a large sheet of insulation and an equally large piece of felt. I have tacked them up on a wall in my sewing room to make a design board, or W.o.W. (Wall of Wow) as we're calling it.

More sewing, and designing, today. Also some time acquainting myself with a metric/imperial conversion table as I've been editing a cookbook my Mum is writing.

I phoned the school receptionist this afternoon, that font of all school-related information, to ask what sort of end-of-year gift I should get for the kids' bus driver (I'm pretty sure she'd like a crate of beer, but thought that might not be deemed appropriate). We settled on a box of chocolates as fitting the bill, then the receptionist deadpanned, 'Or you could give her a jar of Marmite...'

For all America's manifold food crimes, her citizens stand proud in the knowledge that at least they are not responsible for inventing Marmite.
