What a lovely picture on your Avatar, Florence. I love dogs, so please tell me all about them.
I bet your cold where you are, arn't you.
It was only late in life that my parents had luxery toilet roll. No wonder they both suffered from piles. LOLOL

Take Care

I can smell Izal just thinking about it. You were posh to have that. I remember when I started teaching umpteen years ago we used Izal as tracing paper.

What a wonderful board this is! From snow to Izal in one page.

Annie

The Izal was terrible - it was slippery ========== yuck

Annie G, LOLOL "That's The Way To Do It". Boom, boom.

I'm off now to have an e mail conversation with a librarian in Toronto. Someone has uncovered some scandal for me from 1921. Funny the things you do to avoid ironing.

Annie

Good Luck Annie G. Hope it is juicy enough for you, and worth giving the ironing a miss. LOLOL

Julia, unfortunately my avatar of those 3 lovely little dogs are not actually mine. i have to say i borrowed that picture from somewhere on the net when my daughter was doing a project on dogs. they looked so cute, just couldnt resist! so sorry no info to give i'm afraid.
yes its baltic up here and our friend the wind is back after a fews days grace.when its calm ,you do sort of miss it but then again the drone drives you mad,like a hoover then wont switch off!
no snow yet but today the sky looked full of it so i think by wed it may come this way.

wish there were more of us up this way so we could have a meet!

Afternoon Eldrick,
