    Sherry, I should think flannelette would be perfect!

    Sarvi, it is just what we in the west have been experiencing! We seem to get it first but by the time it gets east, it’s made world news and you see people looking as they are dying from the heat ( well it isn’t really a laughing matter because they forget to hydrate themselves and end up in emergency departments across the city with severe…[Read more]

    New York winters can get COLD — but homes are often heated pretty warmly to make up for it. Can you ask the host? Flannel(ette) or interlock should work fine.

    Gosh, what a crazy year for weather it’s shaping up to be! Here in LA it’s so dry all the kids are getting nosebleeds, and yet we’re on track to have epic storms. So weird!

    On a non-school-related note, what the heck is up with the heat wave in Sydney! Is that normal for this time of year?

  • Oh no, what a lot of work! It’s tricky sewing at night, isn’t it? Cutting at night is always chancy for me — what looks good together under fluorescents can look a bit funky under daylight.

    Oh dear I am sorry. Another loss. I am sorry.

    And you don’t sound like a total snob. I think we all want better or more for our children. I think that’s part of my issue. I want my daughter (and son) to believe that they can become anything if they have the skill and their genders don’t limit them.

    @cybele727 it is certainly not a decision we made lightly but when you witness a leaving class of just one student at your school you do tend to sit up and think do you want this for your child? Because of the many many issues we have faced at this school, we also had to face the facts that our kids would not have the opprotunities that they could…[Read more]

  • Oh, I wish I’d thought to do that — I just winged it. They’re for free dress day at school so I expect them to come home in tatters.

    Oh I’m so sorry I haven’t read your post above. My hubby has just texted me to say that a neighbouring farmer to us was killed in a head on collision at a town we pass through to go to Perth. I’m a bit teary because it happened the day we went to Perth and just after we passed the town. I am so very sad! Two valued farmers gone in one week! His…[Read more]

    I am sorry for Murray’s loss. And you are embarking on an exciting time. A part of me simply cannot imagine sending a child to boarding school and another part of me is all…sign me up!! 🙂 Depends on how tired I am suppose.

    We are definitely on the front of this issue. This teacher is a 20 year veteran and all we heard was, “Oh you will…[Read more]
