    Yes; and Yes. Though the cynic in me whispers it's so nice that some bugger will only nick it. I've considered very similar leather duffels in the sale at John Lewis for £300. Helly Hanson do one called the Offshore, practical, waterproof, for a mere 120 quid, but being bright red plastic I guess it's the squeezy-plastic-bottle-of-jelly equivalent. Mik, I see Welches come in jam jars so it's off my list

    I found a nice hard cover copy of Julia Child's "Julia's Kitchen Wisdom" 'Essential Techniques and Recipes from a Lifetime of Cooking' at the thrift shop last week. It's a very useful little book.

    My Ukrainian student and I did a review of how to pronounce beer-bear-bare. She was pronouncing "bear" more like "beer". Hilarity ensued.
