(Sadly), Spoons are good junction of value and quality.

Have removed "sadly" because the company has a choice to be what it is. I have a choice to decide where I spend my money.

PDR colleague didn't engage and they'd insisted on this morning.

They owe me £1.50 in parking fees

how did you manage that,we were not allowed to argue,1963-66.Our sports teachers were bullies and physcos.People still talk about them.

I used to write my own sick notes to get out of PE as I hated things like football and all the bullying that went along with PE class.

Dear Sir, Tyred will be unable to take part in football today due to <pass medical dictionary and insert suitable imaginary illness>.

Thank you,

Mammy Tyred.

I'm surprised I'm still alive considering how many illnesses I had as teenager

That's my working week finished ☺️☺️

But rugby was another matter altogether. A lethal second row.

Rugby is tribal warfare with a ball. Being the smallest I was supposed to be the delightfully named "hooker". I very quickly realised that this was a silly idea and I couldn't catch the ball even if I wanted to, and there would have to be changes if I wanted any shins by the time I was 16.

Then they announced that anyone stupid enough to forget their studded shoes wouldn't be allowed in the scrum.

Problem solved.

I will be going to get the first part of my dental insert treatment done at 2pm

No local dentist does this so have had to travel to Sligo. I came early to fit in a bit of a coastal hike while I am here

When I was driving here earlier, I was thinking on the time I was cycle touring around Strandhill and the old woman I met at the sea front in the Toyota Starlet who was sitting with her budgies which she brought to the sea front every morning to sit them on the sea wall for a while as apparently they liked it. I was wondering was she still alive.

I haven't seen her but I see a Toyota Yaris parked at the seafront with a birdcage sitting on the passenger seat so I assume she is still with us but has updated her Toyota for a younger model

I like that: they can't argue without admitting they have no idea what it means.

By the way, in one of the great ironies of life, the local primary school had a brilliant Art/sports teacher who made creative sports times which the kids loved. Now Younger Son wants to be a sports teacher at secondary school level.

Winter heating money arrived into my account this morning

 

[mybike]

I literally just never showed up for sports lessons. Loved other subjects though.

You seriously cannot do that at a boarding school. It's like you learn to like to eat everything, 'cos there is no alternative.

Likewise, not possible.

Pretty difficult to do when you live there anyway.
