Here, every day’s a school day. I didn’t know that in France Robin Hood isn’t called “Robin à la Capuche” (literal translation) but rather "Robin des Bois," which literally translates to "Robin of the Woods"

May have arisen from confusion between "Hood" and "Wood" in French (bois)

For a TV show @qi.com in 2025 to be using #inches to measure a wavelength in the millimetre-to-metre range is #QuiteInteresting.

FUN FACT: Since the first UK radio stations began broadcasting in the 1920s, wavelengths have been given in #metres.

Thimble’s Regret

She was the third one to wear me this evening.
None of them sewed, though they all had strong hands.
I miss the jab and the quiet of mending.
Now I bring strangers and coin to their palms.

Like pyrex, this heatproof dish is glass but opaque, sold as "opaline" by JAJ.

Like pyrex, this heatproof dish is glass but opaque, sold as "opaline" by JAJ.

The mark shows it's English glassware made by JAJ, James A. Jobling & Co. Ltd. The fact that it's opaque dates in to the 1960s, which fits with when my mother-in-law would have been setting up her kitchen!

#QuiteInteresting collectors rabbithole taking a look at English #pyrex glassware, inherited from my mother-in-law. It's not a fruit-bowl, but a heat proof serving dish as it fits in a metal frame for a candle.

JAJ existed 1923-1973, with #opaline made in the 1960s.

Ebay? Just £10!
