Cold wash here too , hang on coat hangers - inside out, dry in the sun.

Doesn't hot water set stains?

We had a full moon last night too. I love following Mrs Moon's route in the sky. I always tell her how lovely she looks. Nice to see her in the mornings too.

Ouch! Poor little mite. I hope all goes well for him.

I kid you not ... my foster parents used to (somehow?) attach a human hair across 2 wardrobe doors and if that hair was gone they would assume that one of us kids had been in their wardrobe.
Their own natural daughter was a real tear-away and used to get up to all sorts of mischief.

Leo's for meddlers, what's that all about?

Here are some unfamiliar names for things we regularly come across: Ullage - the unfilled space in a bottle between the liquid and the lid. Drupelets - the bumps on raspberries. Ferrule - metal band around pencil that holds rubber in place. Caruncle - the triangular pink area at the corner of your e...

No idea but is it something magnified many many times?

I just love the pic, another one saved.

No Marilyn I don't remember that one.
I do remember 'Mr Nobody ' being referred to every now and then.

Your looking well decked out Stanley

I gave my father £100 and said, 'Buy yourself something that will make your life easier '. So he went out and bought a present for my mother '.

And hopefully no phones allowed to be fiddled with, played with, or answered.
Grrr... ☹

Exactly how far away from the bush fire are you two? The reports on Tele are very worrying. Goodness our east coast gets a battering!

The entry of a time machine...

Gosh, I can remember the dolls and clothes and folding those tabs, haha. Our mother seemed to be big on stickers, the kind that back in 'her time' had to be licked like a stamp to make it stick. Many times when she sent me a birthday card she would stick little stickers inside it. (These were modern...

Gosh 17 years, you must be very patient
I'm sure it was worth the wait for you both.

Why did you relocate to the Barlick area Big Kev, what's your story?

Loved the stories, great post. :smile: Also I was surprised to see a married woman on staff, Mrs M Allum. I think there might be a story there saying that she started very close to the time when married women were first allowed to work. And she continued for 34yrs, obviously dedicated, well done Mrs...

The process is a bit like the way a Dry Cleaner cleans bed quilts today. Wool, feather and down etc.

Did the machine make this early type of mattress support. Are they called bed strings, can't remember the correct name.

Does it make mattress springs?

It's interesting and amazing some of the things that happen to people, a bit like some who have woken-up to find that they are speaking a different language.

Gosh, that was quite a read. Thankyou.
