that's wicked weird

Doesn't make sense to me but I've been told off for using that.

Just got stung for lunch. Daughter finished lectures and arrived at my building needing feeding. Also looks like I'll need to drive her into Uni next week for the train strike - I usually cycle !

I spose there are many advantages and disadvantages to her being at the same University. She is not far from home, but not yet independent, to name a few.
 
Cool, blustery and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard. No sign yet of the forecast showers.

Slept reasonably well, and have spent the morning chopping tomatoes and apples for another batch of chutney. I had a load of half ripe tomatoes that had been pecked. They wouldn't keep, and it's a shame to throw over a kilo of tomatoes away, so seems like the ideal way to try out a WI recipe for a green tomato & apple chutney. :angel:

All that's left it to chop some onions and root ginger and then it can cook away.

The item I bought last night was the season review for the 1991 British F3000 championship. It's been available as a download for a good while (and there are also snippets on the Tube of You), but it seems like Duke have done a short run of DVDs, so it would be rude not to, really, as a physical copy is always nice. The photos for the cover art are in my collection. :smile:

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

Aye, but at least the boyfriend isn't there. Time for her to branch out.

Has he gone to a different University or a different town?

Mrs P waited in a phone queue for forty five mins,to ask about a holiday.So she then pressed five and waited for a recall.Titan Tours did ring back but sadly the holiday is fully booked up for the time period she wanted.Any later than March and you get a lot of rain.So it was plan B.And an enquiry about Titan Tour Southern Sights and Sounds.Now the person on the other end of the phone said we have added new dates whoch are not in the brochure,how about this date.Yes said Mrs P so 2023 holiday is now booked :bravo::bravo:
 
I work for an American company so have this all the time. The latest thing in my recent training is that I should not use the word "that" in my resolutions as Americans don't like it. I was writing things like "You stated that you did..." but apparently I need to leave out the "that" which reads wrong to me:wacko:

How about " You clearly stated your (opinion ,position, conclusion )....whereby you did."....
 
Lovely luncheon. A chunk of pork pie, followed by a large slice of toasted sourdough bread, half with chicken & stuffing, half with a very nice vintage Red Leicester cheese, plus a minneola, some blueberries and two :cuppa:

Chutney is cooking away.

Had to use some superglue last night, and I'm paying for it today with the allergic reaction to it. Tanked up on antihistamines and have a bog roll handy to mop the leaky nose.
