Gidday Cathy and all, <<"I remember her spitting the dummy about her HC!" >> <<Can someone translate the phrase "spitting the dummyy">>
"Lost their temper badly" would probably cover it. Very common Aussie phrase, also referred to as "cracked the s**ts" or "throw a wobbly" as well as a couple of other very derogatory/politically incorrect versions. HC is Highly Commended - which equates to 5th place in Calisthenic competitions (after 1, 2, 3 and HM or Honourable Mention) - not sure what it equates to in lace judging. And as it is definitely OT any further discussion should probably move to Chat.........but to give this a bit of lace content I shall tell you that I am now about one third through Miss Channer's Mat, and aiming to get it done by Christmas. The raised tallies are just horrendous and I wish I had left them out - soooooooo hard to work in small space with so many bobbins that you have to work over the top of. Driving me to drink (if I wasn't already there!). Congratulations Liz on your win - I remember you talking about trying to fool Helen, when I was in Melb in May. Your lace is exquisite all the time so I am sure you deserved to win.
