[lace-chat] Re: [lace] November Secret Pal packages
Brenda, the postal problem is more likely for overseas travel. I sent a small package containing a Scottish tartan scarf and pin for my nephew's wedding in Canada and allowed 3 weeks for posting as it rarely takes more than 6 days. Of course it arrived there 3 days after the wedding. Noelene sent me my copy of Tamara's lace book and I received it less than 24 hours later in another city. Great book by the way Tamara, I hate tallies, but it will be good to practice them with the wire lace. Wire tallies I can manage, I can just imagine those snowflakes in silver thread hanging from my Christmas tree.

Helene wrote: It was beautiful, but I can get those metal containers anymore, they're all plastic now, and the inside stays where it is. Maybe I could try icecream cubes? No need for any magic containers, just pick up a chap plastic container that holds two litres from the grocery store, put the mixture in and forget about it. I did put it in my bunny face muffin tins once, that was an interesting challenge getting it out, I think if I put plastic wrap in first then the ice cream I might have more success. It takes more time to get the mixer out and then clean it than it takes to make this lovely rich stuff - yummy. Of course the big decision is always who gets to clean out the bowl, the DH or our enormous always looking for food old english sheepdog.

When my mother made tapioca pudding, we used to tell my sister it was worm egg pudding so she would go away and we could have her share.

Thanks Lousie for quoting the Flanders Field poem, as a Canadian Air Force brat I knew it off by heart at one time, its good to see it in the whole once more.

Re: [lace-chat] Re: International Money Transfer Question
Subject: Re: [lace-chat] Re: International Money Transfer Question Well some of you Canadians, you must have a great bank. I still have my Royal Bank Visa account and transfer monies in Canadian currency from my Australian account. Not only do I get charged here for the transfer, I also get a $10 charge from Royal Bank. Perhaps I will just send them a cheque from my bank account, I could save $40.

Re: [lace] ribbon as gimp
I don't know how often it is done, but I am actually making a 1/4 inch lace insert and putting the ribbon through as I make my 5 metres of torchon. Mostly because I don't think I can face threading thru when I finish.

Re: [lace-chat] opened parcels and mail in general
I too had a parcel sent from Martha Pullen's Sew Beautiful magazine opened with a customs brochure put in to assure me that it was a legal search. The package contained a soft cover book and some ribbon, I wonder just what the customs beagle was smelling that require such inspection.

Re: [lace-chat] The Bill
My elderly in-laws loved the Bill but are also fed up with the overemphasis of sex, etc., in the story lines, they too would love to see more police action that doesn't involve the bedroom.

Re: [lace-chat] Earthquake
I agree with Noelene's son's statement about the round house. It would just about take a nuclear blast to move that wonderful place. Sure do miss popping in for a TP on our way to Canberra.

Re: [lace-chat] Bush's visit
Ah yes, but Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Man, had a nice private chat with Mr. Bush so perhaps it depended somewhat on who (or is that whom) Bush wanted present. I do remember in the early 80's when the Nato leaders came to town all the US secret service agents were lurking everwhere. I don't know if it was done on purpose to embarrass them or was an oversight, but the powers that be neglected to inform the secret service about the noon cannon on Citadel Hill. It was quite a funny sight to see all these men pull out their guns and take a very quick survey of their surrounds when the cannon blasted its daily announcement.. Were you there at the time Margot?

Re: [lace-chat] Re: Wallabies
Well the Wallabies in the forest of France has hit the local news. It was just shown as a highlighted story for tonight's edition. Perhaps they include a few of the now almost extinct species missing from the bush. I wonder if the Australian government would allow them to emigrate back to their homeland.

Re: [lace-chat] east-west
Rose-Marie, could be that being surrounded there is no definitive place to base direction, for instance, if I can see where Keira Mountain is I know which way is west. Where you are every direction has mountains, so there is no starting point. Just my confused in the southern hemisphere two cents worth, however, since there are no pennies here, I suppose that would be my five cents worth.

Re: [lace-chat] Right? Left?
As someone who was convinced by the use of a wooden stick to become righthanded, I still have trouble deciding which hand to use. I wear my watch on my right hand, not the left, mostly write with my right hand, although I can use my left hand. My kindergarten version of revenge on the teachers and my father, who insisted I change hands, was to learn to write upside down and backwards, something I am still quite adept at 45 years on. I have always been a bit accident prone, which studies have shown is attributable to a forced change. It has its advantages tho, as when I injured my right hand I was able to continue on with work, writing, and hobbies with my left, my nephew refers to it as being handbedextrous. Lynn Scott in Wollongong, where I am finally seeing an end to unpacking, where I am discovering the real disadvantage to being creative is all the stuff that has to be moved around and rearranged.

Re: [lace-chat] Broadband
Broadband is available from Telstra. You buy the install it yourself kit from Harvey Norma for $129, and then connect up with Telstra. Depending on the amount of access to your internet you want the prices vary. I believe there is a minimum contract period of 18 months. Hope that helps.
