Maybe less boring when they turn to gold. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
(There was a thread about this many years ago but I think it has disappeared. However, round about the same time, there were various SoF emails, letters and reports on the same phenomenon, so maybe not boring at all!)

This is so not boring. Such a problem.
I braid (plait) overhanded because that is the way my fingers do it, but I think it looks so much nicer the other way. I wish I could do it inside-out!

I was at my sister's church a week ago, and an elderly church lady (with whom we are not acquainted) was sitting at the same table as us. She stirred some sugar into our tea, and then took a miniature bottle of whisky from her handbag and poured a slug into her tea!

See, and here I was thinking it was not a cross-pond thing, but a pointer to an even more boring topic—while I may be interested in mycology and other things fungus-related, I think that a discussion of baking pans would cure even my insomnia!
