The Gnome at the Bottom of the Garden

Why is it that various jam companies (predominantly IXL) have stopped putting jam in re-usable glasses instead of screw top jars? My collection of heavy based good sized drinking glasses is dwindling and I would like to top it up, but can I find jam in glasses? No. Why should I pay for perfectly good glasses when they come free with a jar of raspberry jam?

After a delay of 23 years I have finally enrolled at university. It was certainly cheaper back then (uni was considered free back in the good old days). I have enrolled to study teaching externally at Charles Darwin University. When I was accepted to uni 23 years ago, I was doing high school, but this time I have enrolled to do primary teaching, not because it’s easier, but because by the time I finish, my kids will be out of primary school. In a school like ours that is R-12, I thought it was important that I not put myself in a position where I might be their teacher. It’s all a bit daunting, but I think external programs are getting easier with the use of technology.

So if my blogging seems a bit disjointed, it’s probably because I’ve got my head in a book.
