Looks like I've had my orders then.

 

[potsy]

We stopped bothering to put decorations up a few years ago, can't see me ever going back on that.

Still no cards either

On the chefs instructions I bought a humongous cast iron casserole dish yesterday for the chicken on Christmas Day.

Thank goodness he will be lifting it out of the oven once everything is cooked.

It's a bit lighter this morning.

It is also very mild again.

That's what I like about cast iron, it keeps getting lighter.

Egg and beans on your shredded wheat? Always thought there was something not quite right about you.

I should think the egg needs to be runny.

I have just had an email from daughters school. Sometimes I could drop kick her across the room but mostly things like this make me proud.

Dear Parent/Carer

I am pleased to say that your daughter has a flawless record on our behaviour system during this term. Although we expect students to hand work in on time and bring the correct equipment to lessons, we recognise the fact that sometimes this goes without being praised. I am sure you will join me in congratulating Flossie on this achievement.

Kind regards


Mr Teacher
Head of Year 13

She's hacked the school system, sending you that one about herself.

She's hacked the school system, sending you that one about herself.

I am feeling quite loving to her at the moment. We have our Guiding Christingle service this evening. I asked my two Rangers to find something to read, this is what she has found....

When you are a leader's kid, you have a different view
Of all the things you learn, and all the things you do

You need to be an example, of how every Guide should be
And sometimes it gets tough, and I want to just be me

You try out all the crafts, way ahead of time
And if they run out of materials, the unfinished one is mine

Meeting Night is crazy, we get here way ahead
And by the time we get home, the other Guides are in bed

You go to every camp, and on every extra trip
But when it comes to attention, you feel like you get gypped

I learned in Brownies to share, but what they didn't mention
Was when you share your mother, you also share her attention

The other girls get excited, on the night their mothers come
But my mum can't sit beside me, she's got a meeting to run

She has to be everyone's leader, not just mine alone
But she's always here on Monday, who'll do it if she stays home?

I'm glad my mother can make the time, to plan the crafts and learn the songs
And even though it's hard to share her, we still can get along

So thank you Mum for being here, it fills my heart with pride
To see you working every week, even when I'm not by your side

Because of you, we all have a place, to go and have some fun
Our leaders have taught us many things, and I'm glad that you've been one

You won't always be my leader, there'll be others just like you
And when my kid's a Girl Guide, I'll be her leader too.

Have you wiped away the tears?

Have you wiped away the tears?

I know right! She is going to read this tonight in front of a church full of people, I will be in bits!

I had to get to Bath R U H early this morning to have an echo cardiogram. Once that was over my wife and I thought that we would pop into Bath to do some Christmas shopping. Whilst I was sat in a shoe shop waiting for my wife to try on a pair of shoes I glanced down to look at mine. I noticed that there was a slight difference in the shade of brown between them and then I noticed a curious way in which one was made as opposed to the other. Doh!
I was wearing odd shoes, I almost burst out laughing. One shoe was shoe shaped whilst the other was made a bit like a pasty.

Can you rebuild those pieces?

 

[Smithbat]

Only the one night!

For her unit yes, she is not in my other two.

Can you rebuild those pieces?

I will try.....
