Has anyone actually been in an egg and spoon race? I've only read about them in books.

The problem with getting a bee in your bonnet about a new interest when it's drawing is that you keep drawing until your right hand feels a bit burny without necessarily noticing and you still keep wanting to draw more anyway.

I don't have a readily-accessible pile of stuff to read at the moment, just a list of books to track down. They don't work as a distraction if you have to go looking for them first. I'm trying knitting to give my hand a break from lettering now, which seems silly because it's something else that can make my hand cramp! But it's not quite the same muscles and movements, so maybe it'll work for a while. It did for a couple of hours last night anyway.

Another egg-and-spooner here! Although my primary school took the sensible route and used small potatoes. I can't really remember the spoon size, but it wasn't enormous.

New potatoes will be in season soon and I cannot WAIT. Every time I go to the store and the local potatoes are still big I'm like "AUUUUUUGRRRHHGHGH" and Wax is like "Soon!"

They're so tasty you could use the potatoes as prizes. Although maybe not in primary school since they couldn't cook them themselves.
