Well, I am now planning a proper project. I have geared down the plans from many yards of fine fabric to something the size of, say, an egg cozy.
At last we got the connector for my glass blow torch so all we need now is the pipe and we’ll be well away. At long last we’ll be making beads wehey!
And talking of pipes, I had a flash of brilliance this week. What I really need to do is to learn the bagpipes. I took a quick look on Ebay (wonderful, where would we be without it…) and they are really not that expensive. I broke the news to Ian last night and then played him a ‘how to learn the bagpipes’ video I found on youtube.com, he went a little pale, but I think that this was due to excitement.
Spanish classes start next week. Apparently they ran them last year which we didn’t know about, but what with everything we had on our plate we probably wouldn’t have been able to go anyway. People from last year are in the advanced class and people starting this year are in the beginner class. There are mostly english, but a brazillian couple are in our class and there is a Romanian lady in the other class whose Spanish sounded perfect to me. Other nationalities – french, Holland and germany.
How exciting!
