Goodnight Diane, Sleep well, take care

Tec.

Berona, It's not too difficult to pick up where they are in the course, and just to guide them through the lesson.
The satisfaction is spending a whole school year with them, and watching them become competent in reading and writing.

I can imagine that if you look back to the beginning of the year and see how different they are now, it would give you a sense of achievement.

Allan - I'm still wondering if you really put parsley and coriander on your corn flakes? I have been trying to get my head around that one since you posted it! Does it add flavour?

Allan,
I've said this before. Because we are gentlemen, and therefore would never offend the female of the species, this is misinterpreted as weakness. Predators will always attack what they see as weakness.

We must be more assertive. Bold, and fearless in the face of adversity.

I must be off as I have to prepare for a week with our grandchildren. We'll be home quite often as we are only 15 minutes away so I'll be watching:-)) Good night dear Poms and have a good day lovely Aussies:-)))

Berona,

You have already told the others to take what I say with a pinch of salt.....

.......which is then sprinkled over the cornflakes and garnish!

Goodnight Barbra, Sleep well,
Tell OH there's a guy in Wales suffering too, he has my sympathy.
Be kind.

Goodnight Barbra. Sleep well.

You too - Tec.

Allan, I hope you have a nice day. I know you try to be macho, but are a softie underneath - just like Tec. You make a good pair! Forgive me for having the odd 'shot' at you - you ask for it! and I know you can take it.

Lucky me - I am off to do a 'chemist run' - refill of all the things which make me rattle when I shake!...See!...not only the young ones shake, rattle and roll! I roll when you make me laugh and laughter is good medicine! Keep it coming.

Enjoy your day Berona,
Yes, you're right, we're big boys now, and secretly we enjoy being lambasted by the girls, it's a laugh.
I too went on the chemist today, came home with a bag full.
7 in the morning, 5 at dinner time, and 4 to go to bed, any YOU rattle!

Take care, glad to see you're out from under the matress by the way.

Berona, apart from the serious discussions, and the sympathy and empathy that is shown, I know that the rest is dished out with good humour, and is certainly received that way,

That's what I like about Sue's Thread: there has never been any of the nastiness, or carping, found on many others.

And, by the way, no I don't put parsley and coriander on my cornflakes. However, I may try it sometime

Have a great day

Regards

Allan

Hi All,

Just popping on quickly, heaps of posts since I was on here (and by the way, I didn't delete the post directly under mine on page 266).

I hope Diane, you get your week off. Hope Linda gets a break from all the estate stuff. Poor Tec - a good night's sleep and you'll be fine hopefully.

I agree with the difficulties of the same names in families. I was a good girl and put my maiden name in my boys names, followed by their fathers Christian names (married twice).

Anyhoo! Hope everyone is going ok and enjoying grandkids, chemist supply stock-ups and fancy gourmet cornflakes etc.

Hooroo

Tec,

For all that the ladies are going to 'box our ears' and do various other unspeakable things to us, they always seem to drift of the Thread in ones or twos, like a morning mist being burnt off by the sun

I think that they are the real softies!

Goodnight Tec. Although I didn't need it, I took my mobile with me in case I got stuck under the mattress - but where could I have got such good advice other than from you? Thank you so much!

Allan, please let me know if you do try those garnishes. My taste buds revolt at the thought. It would be interesting to know your opinion of them.
'bye for now.

Good night Tec

I must also go and prepare for another hard five hours at the office!
