I would rather NOT have these curtains at all. In fact for twenty years or so I didn't, but these days it makes sense to have them. In fact I generally prefer no curtains at all.

I admit they add a bit of cosiness in winter though. There is an arctic gale off my big bay window (north facing, huge window and not double glazed. What's double glazing?)

Newt of yesterday is Little Nemo for fast learning under pressure. It sounded impressive even though I understood not a word :) Nice one Leems :)

I had to buy some net curtains recently - I went into a shop which had a section which seemed to sell nothing but net curtains. I explained to the assistant what I was after and I was very sniffily told that most people don't buy net curtains but she may be able to help if I wished to purchase a voile.

I bought a pair of what I considered to be net curtains and went home a happy customer ;-)

I got on at a different door on the train. Thought I'd get tutted at by different people for a change. I got a seat!

Cheers, fleecy! Although it turns out the original distribution list worked if I added myself as the owner. So while it was good to discover this new skill (and it will definitely be useful in the future) I could have saved myself 2 hours of panic ;-)

Looking forward to seeing all your newts today :-)

Not a Newt - but you're getting an update on the VOILES situation whether you like it or not. I cleaned the inside of the bay window this morning, have put the curtains back up... and to be honest it is heaps brighter.

Just wait 'til I do the outsides!

(Am slightly worried the outside sill will give way and I will fall to a hideous death, so I will wait 'til summer and more time and bravery - not that i haven't done it before)

Spending part of my day off watching "Love Actually " for the first time. With all the hype over the reunion for Comic Relief I thought I should catch up on the original :)
