You surprise me.

I had to learn it. All the parts. It was that sort of school.
Frankly whether Will cribbed it all from Holingshead (sp) has had no impact on my life since then.
But I could fill the exam paper with quotes. My English teacher assured us that that's what we needed.
An intervention from the Almighty might have been more use

Likewise.

I've actually played Macbeth, too.

And done a Macbeth-themed decorated pen at the Supreme Show.

I love Shakespeare.

So thankful I love my job.

I tried working. Never really got on with it. But fooled most of the people most of the time.
Eventually they found out and bribed me to leave.
Sadly not every story has such a happy ending

It's been raining all day! The rivers are up . I don't think we have a drought .

Lovely luncheon of pepperoni, cream cheese and the posh vintage cheddar bread that I picked up on YS in the bakery on Sunday, along with a pear, a truly luscious Lane Late orange and two

Supper stuff prepped, wood bins in the house re-filled, some correspondence answered and am now doing some writing.

It is raining here again.

Luncheon was a health hazard soup. Bits and pieces from the fridge had a meeting with Mr Braun and some miso stock. We got a tasty but vague soup.

I work with the elderly it's a privilege. I learn something new daily.

I'll name that song, Johnny Cash, How highs the water?

Just said to swmbo why can't I smell tea cooking she replies I put it in the wrong oven

You related to my uncle Gordon?

As long as none of the ingredients had developed language skills...

Before I go and have my Singapore Pork & Aubergine hot pot for tea there are two facts I have to share.

1 the bar has been open for 46 minutes.
2 I have cycled 9.4 km on errands around the town

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

I've got a bicuspid aortic valve! Never knew that before! It's the first time that anyone doing the echo test has said anything to me. She said that people with that tend to have enlarged aortas which I have . Oh well!

Don’t know offhand about my aorta but my aortic valve is getting furred up and gets monitored every year. I was told nothing to worry about too much yet but it seems to me that it is one of the possibles to get me in the end.

Strange day with bright sunshine and then pouring rain. Windy and I can see white horses in the Sound which will be wind over tide and a bit uncomfortable in a small boat. The fish farmers will have had an exciting run home.
Landfill bin is out in the street for collection tomorrow morning and apart from that I have not been outside all day.
Attended to some family emails, had a snooze and read a bit by a very learned author who I was saddened to note made a small but serious error. He had been in a Free Presbyterian Church service and said he was told hymn books were in the back of the seat in front of him. The FP’s only sing psalms and never hymns so no hymn books.

Do you find it rewarding ?

 

[PeteXXX]

Oh, I had Sealskinz socks on the boat. Tend not to go cycling when it's that wet.

Dexshell for me 👍

@biggs682 it is so rewarding! A retirement complex full of people that have led lives through extraordinary times. Every day is a pleasure. Genuinely it is. My oldest was born when biplanes were state of the art, my youngest a year older than I and many in-between.
