that story still makes me well up and I have read it several times now.

This is officially the slowest week of my life

I've already been told very recently that I'm a cool babe. 8) :lol: perhaps my influence is spreading.

Definitely a slow week here. DD is away in France with school and won't be back until Friday afternoon. DH and I were planning to go out a couple of times, but he is going out this evening with a group of clients from work.

I even resorted to working extra hours today and probably the next couple of days. I may even be tempted to do something useful at home.

Party at mine any one? Bring your own beer.

maybe we are just like the swans on the Thames - calm and serene above the surface but paddling like billy-o under water :)

OH just phoned home to see if we had 'anything on' on Friday or could he go to end of month drinks after work. I calmly said - you go ahead dear, I'll stick your dinner in the oven and eat with DD. Men!

party sounds good :)

Not sure about serene white swans, but I'm having quite a giggle to myself imagining Sonasona singing/rapping to the beat.

I'm coming up so you'd better get this party started.

I think someone has spiked the drinks.

Just found out that DD visited a cider making place today.

very educational :)

we took DD to a tiny gin distillery in New England and she loved all the maths they had on a big white board to calculate specific gravity at different temp and pressure so that they knew how much to put in each bottle on a given day. Its always good to see real world applications for what you learn in school.

Tinkers, you forgot to mention the baggy trousers :D

Oh, how we need to keep ourselves occupied though these gruelling last few days!

On a more serious note, I've been thinking about something Reading Mum said a few days ago with regards to the hectic Kendrick Opening Evening........


Q. Why did the corridor get gridlocked halting all the foot traffic?


A. Because the chickens needed to cross the corridor! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Of course. The baggy trousers.
Sorry the party had to be cancelled this evening. DH didn't go out with clients as expected so came home.

So we went out to a nearby Indian restaurant, (Actually both Sonasona and Reading Mum will probably know of it :wink: ) we are both stuffed. :oops:

Didn't have chicken though.
