For starters there is carrying a baby while riding side sadle to avoid messing up your sari. You can hold an umberella over the person in front to stop them getting wet, carry one end of a 20 foot metal pole while another motorbike looks after the other end. The list goes on... Of course motorbike gloves are not standard here - you would be lucky if the passenger was wearing a helmet (it is only law for the driver to wear one!?!).<br /><br />Needless to say I am not recomending these activites, just things I have seen while walking through Ooty town.Elizabeth Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-33995949334011989642009-09-26T01:24:12.268+01:002009-09-26T01:24:12.268+01:00I've read a lot about Elizabeth Zimmerman.

Apparently you can also have 'seamster' [m version of seamstress]<br />Does your son embroider? If so he is in good biblical company with Bezalel and Oholiab [God filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as craftsmen, designers, embroiderers and weavers] see exodus 35!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-17665340953963834712009-09-25T19:31:06.801+01:002009-09-25T19:31:06.801+01:00Loved the whole post, but particularly delighted a...Loved the whole post, but particularly delighted at the word 'needlewoman', which I shall remember for future posts.
