By the time one has googled around for a while it is easy to get confused. I'll make a note now of the page and the books.<br />Anne Elliot was 'electrified' by something Mrs Musgrove said - that has immediately send me on a hunt to discover the first use of this word; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymology_of_electricity - as early as 1600. It derives from the Latin for amber. Well I never.

I enjoyed Kate Atkinson's Case Histories, and also her newer stand-alone books, especially Life After Life and Behind the Scenes at the Museum. I had been to the museum in York, so it seemed more real.

They'll dye it if it's not in stock I think. You might also take a look on Ravelry and see if anyone has the color you want for sale.<br /><br />Your cruise sounds wonderful and it seems to have had a very positive effect on your attitudes! I think having a plan like this is very cheering. Yes, for sure you can do this!kayThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16814148805700778532noreply@blogger.com
