Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century, general housework in the British home was so labour intensive that it required an army of servants to undertake it. Since then, the ways in which we look after our homes may have changed dramatically but the best and simplest of methods from that time still work for us today.From floor to ceiling, and leaving no awkward corner untouched, here are the tricks and techniques that generations once took for granted, distilled for modern use: how to get rid of water marks or heat rings on polished wood; the antibacterial qualities of simple vinegar; the damp cloth versus the dry duster; and using lemon juice to clear limescale. Combining fascinating 'below-stairs' social history with startling facts and useful tips, Lucy Lethbridge restores fast-disappearing skills to keep at bay dust, rust, mildew, stains and pests. Here, beautifully illustrated and entertainingly presented, are a bygone era's keys to a clean house.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The soldier slang of World War II was as colourful as it was evocative. It could be insulting, pessimistic, witty, and even defeatist. From 'spam bashers' to 'passion wagons' and 'roof pigs' to 'Hell's Ladies,' the World War II fighting man was never short of words to describe the people and events in his life.

This book was released on 2022-12-21 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill Cicansky highlights the trials, tribulations, and tears he faced when he turned his back on Jesus and allowed Satan to take over his life in this autobiography. Although he now lives in the Son-shine of our Lord Jesus Christ, he suffered many dark days, including stints in prison. While he married, he and his wife, Illona, went through thirteen separations and reconciliations. Despite their trials and tribulations, they never stopped loving each other and will soon celebrate sixty years together. They had to learn to be more patient with one another, as the Lord is patient and long-suffering with all of us. They had to learn to be more tender, as He is tender with us. They had to learn to express more love for each other, as He expresses His love to all of us—and so much more. Join the author as he reveals how he survived a life filled with trials, troubles, and tears—and what led him to go back to Jesus, plant roots for three Baptist churches, and become a missionary to the Jewish people.

Book excerpt: Winner of the Gratiean Memorial Prize for the best work in English Literature by a Sri Lankan for 1993 Hilarious, affectionate, candid and moving, this is the story of the Burghers of Sri Lanka... Who are the Burghers? Descended from the Dutch, the Portuguese, the British and other foreigners who arrived in the island-nation of Sri Lanka (and 'mingled' with the local inhabitants), the Burghers often stand out because of their curiously mixed features—grey eyes in an otherwise Dravid face, for instance.... A handsome and guileless people, the Burghers have always lived it up, forever willing to 'put a party'. Carl Muller, a Burgher himself, writes in this quasi-fictional, engaging biography of the lives of his people; they emerge, at the end of his story, as a race of fun-loving, hardy people, much like the jam fruit tree which simply refuses to be contained or destroyed.
