i find that from about october to december, i'm in total craft mode. i can churn out the christmas gifts without thought but i rarely keep what i make.
that's going to change. let the personal crafty time begin!
my new tea towelsi hate kids. they are carriers of disease.
i am never more than 3 meters away from someone infected with something; ringworm, lice, chicken pox, cold, flu, throwing up, pink eye...
i have ringworm. again. i get to twice daily, slather jock itch cream on a red ring the size of a 20p on my arm.
it was only a matter of time, there are at least 6 children at any one time in my class who are festered with it and i would guess that only 2/6 are actually being treated properly for it. and of course i get it, i cannot get away from the little buggers. 21 four year olds are constantly around me - under me, beside me, climbing me, clinging to me, dancing near me, walking into me, sitting on me, coughing and/or sneezing in my mouth/face. that last one happens more than you'd think.
i count myself lucky i've never had nits, that would be the worst. but ring worm is a close second in the scale of horrible gross-ness.
i am bout to delve into the launch edition of jamie magazine. i feel a little nervous for him, starting a magazine is a big thing. he's a pretty busy chef....or so the tabloids tell me. but i love him. every recipe i have made has worked beautifully. he fights for food in his country. he kills/grows what he eats or at least knows where it's come from. i shop at sainsbury's because jamie oliver endorses it.
i'm excited.
he takes his own pictures for the magazine and funded the whole thing himelf. it's printed on paper that is from sustainably managed forests.
i'm also thrilled about the great britsh food fight that just started on channel 4.
maybe hugh fearnley-whittingstall will start a magazine as well.
