Small things noticed

On cold days, most women wear large scarves doubled up around their necks for warmth. Some days, they will wear just the scarves with only a light jacket or sweater. It is surprising how warm one can feel when the neck is all bundled up and cosy (not cozy) – even if one is wearing only a lightweight jacket.

From my childhood in Canada, I always knew that the British call the last letter of the alphabet ZED, while Americans call it ZEE. I have now learned that the letter H – that we call ‘aitch,’ the British call ‘haitch.’ (Please click on the comment below to read what my English friend, Sue, said about this.)
