Christmas tamales tonight. Last of 'em. BBQ'q pork. Just in time to plan for the next batch.
Good morning, house of cute avies.
I think it was Lao Tsu who said, 'The honest trader needs no scales.' But yes, I remember, back in the days before SA went metric, that a yard could be measured by stretching the fabric from the nose to the end of the fingertips, more or less.
Yesterday, I found exactly what I was looking for. I'm planning to give my guestroom a much-needed makeover but I can't find duvet-covers with anything vaguely approaching either the color or style that I want. So, I've decided to make quilts - using the American log cabin design in shades of blue. If you know the log cabin design, you know you need to have half of your fabric strips in dark shades and half in light and you need at least 12 different types of design. I've been looking for small florals in cotton (or cotton poplin) and I found 6 yesterday - 3 in dark shades and 3 in light. I'm halfway there!! Just can't wait to get started on this project.
PS. When is the U.S. going to go metric, like the rest of us? It's so much easier.

Strangely enough, we are officially on the metric system, but it's never been completely implemented. Some things are in metric (2 liter Coke bottles, for example; all liquor and wine bottles).
Every time the push is made to completely change over some special interest(s) will whine and complain and it will be pushed further back.
Morning, f&fers.
Gail, I can't even handle the numbers I've got. Don't go adding any more!
It's less. Much less.
I guess nobody really likes change. It boggles the mind a little when CNN's weather people go centigrade for the rest of the world and then back to Fahrenheit for the U.S. I keep having to remember that 85 for someplace like New York is not centigrade! Yikes! They'd be cooked to a turn!
Back in the 1980s there was a big push to change over. Speedometers were required to have both Imperial and metric. Speed limit signs was in both. Bottle sizes switched over. TV stations would give the weather in both. Etc. The idea was to get people used to the change over. It looked like the change would be complete in ten years or so, but . . .
The construction industry and a few other businesses really hate the idea of change.

I'm beginning to think I spoil my cat. She is currently enjoying premium albacore tuna in the utility room.
What next, sparkling water in her water bowl?

It would be amazingly difficult to retrofit all the tools and measuring devices to metric. Please, no.

Spoiling cats is something everyone should do more of.

My cat thinks I'm a big meany because I don't feed her EVERY time I go to the kitchen.
And I sometimes roll around when she's sleeping on top of me, which annoys her somewhat.
