A casual search reveals a world of soap making, and for profit too. This bears some looking into. I toyed with making soap from scratch but was a bit afraid of the lye etc. What could be easier than melting a soap base and making fancy shapes. DD and I have been doing it all week but I sense the birth of a new hobby.Basic Method

This is neat. I have come across online food analyzers before, but this one does a little pie chart as well.Santé Nutrition Lookup

Well I left a message on The Loach Forum - Message Index, who knew there was such a thing? I have read a few articles and I suspect Dropsy. Cures vary but euthanasia is mentioned a lot. I don't think I could ever sleep again if I did that and then found a cure. I might attempt to take it to the fish shop tomorrow and let the man have a look at it. Hey ho, all this worry over a fish, but what can you do?

My goodness. I was trying to find out what might be wrong with one of my loaches. It has puffed up, the poor thing. It seems active enough but there must be something wrong with it. I found this site and many like it. Blimey.Loaches ON-LINE

This is handy, a searchable cookbook. A bit old but at least that means it was before the various diet band wagons rolled into town. Farmer, Fannie Merritt. 1918. The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book

Ladybird sent me an anouncment...
Hi Fran
I wonder, If I could announce an Exhibition ?
It's held by the members of the

Fylde Heddles and Treadles, Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers.
Date : 16th and 17th May
Venue: Discovery Centre, Garstang, north of Preston.

Time : 11.00 am - 4.00 pm

Admission Free

Demonstrations Daily

The idea is, to recruit new members, show the public our work and what many could do, if they only realised it.
With Foot and Mouth , we missed all our Shows , where we usualy do some demonstrations, and therefore are getting low on membership, some died, some moved away, and others dropped out because of Ill health .

I recieve a lot of those "make money from home" e-mails. They are mostly different people involved in the same pyramid scam and I probebly get a lot more than I ever actually open. This article Make 80,0000 working from home is funny.

This a serious bit of cross stitching kit, a Lowery workstand. I have heard of these but never seen one. I have two, useless, workstands. They wobble and don't flip properly and just gather dust now.
