I do love cats, they make me sneeze, but still. <br /><br />@Jan<br />Danny definitely, I'm less convinced with my own skills.<br /><br />@Bibi<br />Oh god, that's horrible. Do they keep pigs, or is it a flu strain circulating at large? <br /><br />@Ann<br />I just checked the bagworm-nothing happening yet. The jar is sitting next to the goldfish tank...he's showing a concerning bit of interest in it! I can just imagine the hell a fish goes through knowing there's a worm it can't eat!<br /><br />@Radostin<br />There's so much of that stuff in the shops too-it really makes me wonder what the inside of people's homes look like. Not that I should talk as mine is a cluttered, book-filled mess. <br /><br />@Emily<br />We have a Nationwide Jr.<br />They're named for another participant on a cookery thing I used to read (before comment threads got nasty over stupid things like cooking and we all abandoned it to people who feel they need to prove something)-and he took the name from a 70's news show. <br /><br />I know someone that takes their starter on holiday with them. I've never done that! That's how starter is better than a child-I can't shove Danny in the fridge and go out of town for a week. <br /><br />I should totally name the next one (I'm going to do a rye one) for our State Farm agent-she'd probably be honored. <br /><br />@Beth<br />Your men's departments have good stuff? Our are just threadbare shirts that should have been binned years ago. <br /><br />@Mim<br />Ann has convinced me I need to visit Belgium! Wouldn't mind a trip to the Black Country either, come to think of it. <br /><br />Yeah, the life of a female bagworm is nothing nice.

Aiee. I am but a grasshopper still learning my thrift-fu. On the insecty note, I had never heard of bagworms, but hope if reincarnation is A Thing, I never come back as a female one... the Wikipedia entry on their lifestyle is utterly gruesome.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-12304187625382394002017-08-08T15:22:20.749-07:002017-08-08T15:22:20.749-07:00The skirt is proof that even a garment with faults...The skirt is proof that even a garment with faults (seams? as I recall)can be wearable, Goody. The Paris print with the Audrey Hepburn neckline and hair whispers "Holiday in Rome". All you need is a Vespa...<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder that when hunting and gathering in thrifts, one does well to ignore signage and labels. A friend and I both did well in the Goodwill men's & boys' department yesterday: she found a lovely lady's sweater in cream and white; I, a black cotton Tiki shirt in a lad's "large". * Looking forward to seeing your new "night gown."

The yeast is a living thing, so it may very well deserve the honor of being given its own name, just like any dog or cat. But be warned, if Nationwide starts to beg, roll over, fetch, or come when called, that's a sure sign that your yeast is a little too active. <br /><br />Do the other starters have insurance-themed names too? :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Emily from Etsynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-71784605336561419492017-08-08T13:12:29.902-07:002017-08-08T13:12:29.902-07:00Yum, your bread looks fantastic.

Grammatically it seems to suggest that the "you" in question must simply put up with whatever the declarer chooses to perpetrate every day. <br />I am glad to have inspired you, though I must post the disclaimer that I look nowhere near as glamorous in my summer black! That skirt may not be great quality, but it sure is a great print - and you know garments sometimes get away with that pair of attributes with me, too. Your bakelite ring is a true stunner. xxRadostinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05891397765534930525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-89463534862692320492017-08-08T10:47:55.058-07:002017-08-08T10:47:55.058-07:00I'm with Vix and Jan: that bread looks utterly...I'm with Vix and Jan: that bread looks utterly delicious! I used to wear a lot of black in a previous life, but I tend to steer away from it now, unless it's got a print. I love the jacket, collar and all, and I seriously covet the <br />Bakelite rings and earrings! As I'm always on the lookout for vintage slips, I usually have a look at the nightwear rail and seriously, the things I've seen there. I can't wait to see the 1930s gown. I also hope we'll get to see the new pet! xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-48341068305454309582017-08-08T10:02:54.091-07:002017-08-08T10:02:54.091-07:00I think we need to update our "Get off my Law...I think we need to update our "Get off my Lawn" mantra for the 21st century. How 'bout, "GET OFF MY INTERNETS!" <br />The Millennials might understand that? <br />Bread, glorious gorgeous homemade bread, I don't eat bread but I bet it smells divine. <br />There's that London skyline skirt! I like the jacket with the twee collar, it looks fab 50's. <br />Bagworms, ugh.<br />A neighbor's child was admitted to the hospital with 'pneumonia' 2 days ago. The child died yesterday & the results from autopsy labs just came back positive for a nasty strain of swine flu. ?!?!?<br />Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-40117322338415251742017-08-08T07:04:53.657-07:002017-08-08T07:04:53.657-07:00I'm with Vix, ready to snatch a hunk of that b...I'm with Vix, ready to snatch a hunk of that bread right off the screen!

The nightie rail often yields treasure in British chazzas, anything remotely strange or loud ends up on there, I suppose the old dear that work there can't get their head around anyone leaving the house dressed in something other than beige.<br />Looking fab in black. It can look really good in the Summer. Just not on me, covered in cat hair.<br />How sad that the land's been sold to developers.
