I have news. I am the proud winner of the Saline Celtic Festival Limerick Challenge. I have a gift card for Borders, and am ready to run over there and use it. When I find out which limerick won, I'll post it for you.
And I picked up my sewing machine. It's all better. It had lost a screw ( Rick has been telling me I have screw loose), which is now replaced. And it's clean. Watch this space.
