Hi roommates!
We're also traveling this Sunday... On water.... Probably not to the same place as Mark (we'll have a slightly bigger boat), though wouldn't that be a lovely coincidence?
Have a wonderful Wednesday, everyone! Time to work...

It’s time for me to ‘fess up that we’re travelling this weekend too.
Lots of lovely CDR postcards coming up from the CDR occupants I hope! I hope the one-legged pirate has plenty of blu-tac to display them on the wall.
* looks confused *
Where exactly is the wall?

Might have to display the CDR postcards in a corner of the CDR.
Good morning all!
I am up early today to head to my governor school for some pupil behaviour panels.
Occasionally pupils are identified that need some persuasion to buck their ideas up in an attempt to keep them out of serious trouble. Each is seen with their parents and the Principal and a governor spell things out to them.
Today I have a small number who face public exams this summer. These need reminding that they haven’t got to hold it together much longer before they can leave... but also that actually doing some work between now and then will help them gain employment after they go. I have a well-practiced glare which is remarkably effective... although some need my best “deeply disappointed” look.
Yesterday’s wind gave us some respite early evening and then picked up again overnight. Today we seem to have lost the horizontal precipitation. It’s just windy, but at least the sun out.
Have a good day everyone
Good morning Linda! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that your glares and looks make an impact on these students. It’s wonderful that your school has an action plan and you to try and keep this children on track... enjoy your sun shine.. Also, hope daughter gets to shed her cute Kermit costume and leave the badger monitoring to someone else. Maybe she will get a more favorable assignment soon and we will reap the benefits of pictures [emoji6]

And the mysteries just keep coming!!!!
Can’t wait for the pictures to follow!
I don't envy you that job. Some kids are just hell bent on learning the hard way, then in years to come they realise that they could have done better and should have paid more attention to the advice they were given.Good morning all!

Weather same here but by the looks of the gathering clouds more heavy showers are on the way.
That's what happens in the UK with a bit of snow - we just aren't used to having a lot and the councils think it is a waste to invest in more snow ploughs etc which may rarely be used so everything comes to a standstill.Wisconsin?? I think people are super-nice there.
Once (upon a time), a lot of snow fell in mid-Missouri (when I was a grad student there) and the city came to a standstill. Two of my friends and I had just run out of food, and being Russian, we wouldn't let a little bit of snow stop us.
We had no car, so we went a few kilometers on foot to the nearest supermarket, trudging in some places through snowdrifts. Of course, we made it there successfully. We shopped like crazy just not to repeat the journey again anytime soon. Our carts full, we paid up, and called a taxi, because the buses didn't run.
And guess what? Taxis didn't work either! ??! "There's ice on the roads..."
We were stranded. There was no way we could climb over the snowbanks with multiple, heavy shopping bags...
Fortunately, two older ladies noticed our confusion and gave us a ride back. They were from Wisconsin, and said they knew what a disaster snow could be sometimes.
Last March I was walking to a local store and asked some elderly neighbours if they needed any essentials only to be asked to get some quite bulky items including a bag of potatoes! I had to do 2 journeys in the end. It still makes me smile now.
That sounds exciting too. UK?Hi roommates!

Good morning/afternoon.
Hope everyone is having a good day and no one is having a mid week crisis!
I would like to confirm that I won't be travelling anywhere, unless I hobble around my street to help my leg muscles recover.
It's still very windy and probably wet again this afternoon, so I'm quite happy to stay put.
See you all later!

We haven’t sold our house yet but we have a showing this morning and the people that looked last Friday, want to come again this Friday. That’s good news. It’s a bit of a crazy week with the showings and our 10.5 yo Great Dane is having major surgery to remove a very large cyst or tumor (pretty sure it’s a cyst) from his hip. We had made the decision not to put him through the surgery because the incision will be a foot long. The vet did a tiny incision and drained it but then a month later the incision site busted open and it is leaking . He can’t go on like that and my sanity can’t either. He is still such an active old “man.” He still chases his tail and runs around the yard trying to catch “his” kids. The vet said his heart and lungs look great so he is confident he will do fine. We are all pretty scared though.
Oh wow... it just keeps getting better
The plot thickens! [emoji23]
What, with Brexit? Not THAT exciting of a trip... [emoji33][emoji23][emoji23]
Lots of people travelling from the CDR.
Was it something I said?
[emoji23] [emoji85]
It’s just that the wind changed to West Wind, I think. [emoji167][emoji147][emoji162]
Aw, good luck in the surgery. Keeping my fingers crossed that it all goes well.
Poor dog, but great that you are giving him a chance.
I hope the surgery goes well for him....let us know when you have a chance.
Good luck with the house viewings too.
Don't worry - nothing imminent - if ever the way things are going!!
