Do they still do that? Mrs S, and my daughters, always went to their events just for the freebies.

Happy birthday SD, wishing you lots of THs !



A bit down myself here tonight, but it has to be counted as a nice TH that I'm so cosy in bed, with my Argos hospital table for the laptop.

Also going to watch a little snippet of my new most favourite interesting person of the moment, Temple Grandin before sleep. There's plenty bits of her to choose from on youtube and I'm working my way nicely into them, some small bits, some longer bits, some about animals,some about humans, and even the ones that are repetitive always have some little crunchy Q&A unexpected bits. I'm a bit obsessive myself

Do you ever read KenM's comments (not on Boards)? He's outrageously funny, and it's hilarious to see how many people take what he says seriously.

KenM is quality and a true troll. So often nowadays people call "troll" if someone says something they don't agree with. KenM is old school and manages to wind people up without them realising that he's on the wind up. It's really funny to see people get worked up about him on Youtube. One of my favourite quotes from him is on two new planets being discovered and he says "one questions the wisdom of allowing more planets into the fold when our resources are limited enough as it is". It's too funny reading comments on people trying to "educate" him :pac::pac:

I got my new to me car yesterday. There'll be fun trying to figure out all the new fangled yokes on it. Can't wait!

Another day we live to see.

At last getting to work on a weblog,slowly.. VERY slowly.. Happy to have started.

I won three imaginary arguments in my head this morning. I have such a way with imaginary words. The imaginary people didn't know what to say.

Just had a scammer on the phone who wanted "to extend the expiry date" on my Visa card. All he needed were a few numbers which I had great difficulty finding and botched calling out to him several times. I had to 'answer the door' in the middle of it and then I needed the poor man to repeat much of what he had told me, when I came back to him. He seemed confused when I asked why I'd need my Visa extended when I'm only visiting Russia for ten days and my visa covers it fine as it is.
"No, No, No. Your VISA DEBIT CARD!" says he.
'Why? You're just trying to scam people. I'm sure your mother is proud of you" says I.

His reply is not suitable for publication. For some reason he then hung up.

Brightened the morning. And confirmed my opinions on the morals of the Indian subcontinent.

You legend. I love winding those gits up too, but not as brilliantly as this...

I found a 50 euro note of mine I had forgotten about. A matter of hours later it seriously saved my ass. Without recovering it , I was fupped.

Peace between neighbours makes me happy. Has been a hard old time but all sorting now.

Fire burning and reading a book, with thunder and lighting outside. Got all the gardening done in time - again. Timing it nicely these days.

Mrs S just got phone call about recent medical checks and all is holding stable.

She has a long term chronic condition but doesn't complain or let it get the better of her.✨

We had a great laugh in school today. I teach first class. I was trying to teach them about verbs so we could use them to write a recipe. They were struggling with the concept and gave me the following answers: teddy, you and we.

I said to them "can you go outside and teddy? Does that make sense? No." Same with you, "can you go outside and you?" Then without realising what I was about to do I said to them "can you go outside and we???"

Well all hell broke loose. They couldn't stop laughing because I had asked them to go outside and wee. We had a great time laughing at my stupidity!

(TA their parents will be wondering what I teach them in school!!!)

New shiny stuff.

That reminds me of all the times I've asked my (secondary, thankfully) students : "do you have your shít ?".
I'm French, and sometimes I do be getting confused between my long and short vowels
(and I use a lot of worksheets)
I've given up trying to bluff it out, we just laugh it out now, it's just too funny.

Don't worry, my students are not the kind to get shocked by it, they love when a teacher messes up actually and most of them hear a lot worse at home !

Got caught out twice earlier today in a downpour of April Showers on two separate outings. Happy to be home and dry!

Had to write the date an hour ago, for the first time today, and realised it's my mother's birthday and she would have been 100 today. This started a whole raft of memories and chat here about the great character she was. Happy with memories now.

Happy to be indoors and no need to be outdoors in this stormy weather..
Will be happier when the groceries arrive of course..

I moved recently, renting, and the new place has a pretty nice reclining sofa in my room. Last night, watching TV with some tortilla chips, dropped one down the inside of the sofa. Had to get it out, which I did, but also came out with a free €2 coin. It's not much, but it was nice.

Now folk will be delving down the sides of settees! Gold mining!

Happy that the sun is shining and the forecast gives showers only by afternoon - so a trip to the river might be in order.

The evocative aroma of burning turf as it heats the dwelling and the water.. mmmmmm!

A road lined with deep pink cherry blossom trees . Just glorious after a long bare winter

Something like this happened me last week when I was hoovering out my car! Got a new car about 2 months ago and it hadn't been given a proper hoover before I bought it so one of the sunny days last week I went out, hoovered it and found almost €2 in various places

Found a single wild violet yesterday... May there be many more..

The cattle have been released into the fields. All leaping and charging, kicking their hind legs in pure joy. And the calves are adorable. A sure sign the long hard winter is gone.

You were sitting on a goldmine all this time! :pac:








Although, I have to say, finding money like that when you least expect it is a great feeling

We have a half door and I was able to leave it open comfortably for a little hour with the nice ray of sunshine.

The farmer is at slurry now in the field right behind so had to close it, but I've a nice stick of incense burning inside so I don't care

Blissfully warm house from the gifted turf fire and now the roof is ticking as the sun hits it,,, Ah bliss!

A strange car pulled in to the drive this afternoon, as I sat in the garden just beginning the crossword.

"#$@# , who now?"

Turns out it was an old acquaintance we hadn't seen in over twenty years. He was going to meet someone but had an hour to spare. Two hours later he left. A very pleasant catch up and happy to see him looking so well.

Seeing a video of a fan absolutely slay a guitar solo at an Avenged Sevenfold gig made me grin.

Weird night tonight. Had a friend let me in on some really really bad bews, and my mind I spinning ever since.
But while I am devastated by it all, part of me is so so so proud of her for the way she is handling it, and she has plans to do some things in the next while that I can't believe... I'm happy to be counted as a friend by somone as amazing as her...
