Maybe he was really fearing a much-worse outcome and was relieved to have done so well? <br /><br />Safe travels to the Helens. <br /><br />Beverly in NJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-11358341439638967122016-08-20T17:18:17.892+01:002016-08-20T17:18:17.892+01:00thanks for the comments - and I know that there...thanks for the comments - and I know that there'll be something for my son - eventually.... it's a pity that teenagers have to make difficult choices at a point in their lives, where they have to find themselves first of all! <br />and thanks for the grammar tip - I find on-hand explanations so much easier to remember than the "dry" stuff they put into grammar books:)<br /><br />about the Uncia - I think I'll better keep at it instead of switching all the time. if I knit a bit every day I can remember the chart symbols; if I interrupt my knitting I find that I have to start looking some of them up again.... the arches are slowly unfolding and I love the looks of it already. I adore the different "fancy" cables Lucy Hague uses - they give me ideas for my own patterns, which started when I knitted her Morvarch shawl... happy knitting!Stefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585678210760195232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-3575995102996477612016-08-20T14:55:54.208+01:002016-08-20T14:55:54.208+01:00Thank you for the grammar lesson.

I looked at some illustrations for the Snark, and the Beaver has a lace-making pillow. Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.com
