Learn Something new Everyday Monday 6th September - Stashbusting September

As you can see from the new sidebar, as well as Learn Something New, I have just decided to join in with Stashbusting September. I'm a tad late, but I've only just learned about it from Clair's blog. So I think that counts as learning something new!
Actually, I've learned quite a lot today - that I can fit far more into a school day than I thought possible.
Also that R really is growing up - he started Cubs today and it only feels like yesterday he was a tiny 6-year old at his first Beaver meeting.
I learned that Ghana used to be called the Gold Coast. 
And I learned that I can make a mean chilli.
