That's for taking clothes out of the laundry copper.

Yep, fishing items of washing out of hot water, also pretending it is a set of predatory jaws and scaring the cat

Both my sons had to go to High School in Oban from age about 12 years old. They stayed in a school hostel under some supervision from Monday till Thursday and came home after school on Friday unless the ferries were off because of bad weather. Some parents were very upset about their precious offspring being away from home but we thought it was quite good to give them a taste of the wider world in a gradual way as they would eventually have to go away if at all academic either to university or for work.

If fishing them out of a laundry copper you definitely do not want your hand in there. We had a coal fired one in the 1940's and the water would be pretty near if not actually boiling. Double sink with a hand wringer between which I often had to turn as well.

A day of sunshine and showers. When I was out this morning the showers were sleety hail in September.
Got a thorough going over at the surgery from a nice smiley wee lassie. Should not really call her a lassie as she has been sticking needles in me for at least 10 years now.
BP a bit high but I seem to suffer from what used to be called white coat syndrome. No idea why this should be as I do not feel nervous and am well rested before getting done.
The waiting room seemed to have more people in than usual but I only recognised one as local and some were definitely tourists taking the opportunity of getting the attention of a doctor while on holiday instead of trying their local surgery. A previous GP who was a personal friend used to complain bitterly about this.

Everything has to be written in an extremely strict set of grammar rules.
The ironic thing is that if I feed company blurbs into Word it returns a load of errors.
Tell em we were using English long before they were and they should respect our recently departed Queen and use her English!!
