That’s brilliant @cybele727. Here’s to happier educational experiences for all of us!😀

Well, it was just so nice to sleep in my own bed and have a decent night’s sleep after the past few days of being away.

We had an amazing introduction to life at our new school. The interview was wonderful. The new Principal is a great asset.

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!

It can often get quite hot at this time of year. It’s part way through the end of year 12 exams in Australia. There’s always at least one or more really hot days to go with exams 🙂

After sewing it to the pocket flaps I realise I have one small piece of black bias binding and lots of dark brown! Unpicked the bias binding, returned all the brown to the stash and made new black bias…[Read more]
