And cabbage.German is beer and sausages, no?
Good morning, Lena!Good morning, CDR! Can't see if anyone is here already, but, well, it's dark
Bazaar day for me and a social obligation at a local school for disabled children.
Sounds great and positive.
A bizarre day for me I expect too.
It usually is.
Good morning, John.
I sometimes sing "Walking in the air" for students here.
I've not got a bad singing voice, but this is much too high for me and so it sounds like somebody strangling a succession of cats.
The students are usually terribly polite and say how lovely it was. At least i hope they're not serious.
Good morning, Linda.Good morning Lena. Happy Friday to you
My day holds a little shopping and a formal visit to my governor school to look at sixth form and careers.
Shopping for my potato and then a lesson, here.
Then some house tidying, I feel.
Good morning, Noel.Good Morning roomies
Happy Friday
I have decided today is Thursday.
Just doesn't feel like a Friday, to me.

I'm good with it being Friday
I don't have to be up so bloody early
"Everything is pink and costs four times as much" ! Ha ha.I'm doing good thank you.
Here in the UK we call December 26th Boxing Day. It's a public holiday and the day when servants and tradesmen would traditionally receive a "Christmas box" from their employers. A Christmas box is money or a gift given as thanks for good service through the year.
Having a birthday at Christmas can be a bit annoying at times, my friend Philippa has hers on the 25th, but parties in June
So true.
My dad had his birthday on New Years Day and always complained that he always got one present for Christmas and birthday combined, so half the presents. Bless.
My name's Adam cos my parents decided they were going to work their way through the alphabet and I was the first born son, the first man. The next born was Ben but then they gave up and called the third and final child Toby.A good friend's birthday is also on the 26th. Her dad named her Carol, and the story is as her mom went into labor on the Christmas day, kids kept coming to sing some Christmas carols and ask for candy. This annoyed the dad and apparently became the most memorable event of the process. Makes sense to name the kid after something that annoyed you so much, right?
That's how it used to be when I was a kid. See, I'm a twin too. We would be given a gift and told to split it. Oh by the way it's for Birthday and Christmas too.
Geez
Good morning Adam
I must pop out to resolve the coffee crisis shortly. We've run out (JoesDad took the spare jar to work without telling me)
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers comes to mind. Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim (had to look him up), Frank and Gideon

Outstanding *insert sarcasm sign here*
My best friend in England, Paul, whom I've known for 44 years has had the same job for about 20 years and lived in the same place for just as long. He's had one proper holiday in that time. He seems happy.
Each to their own.
Actually, he's being forced to move house in January and is devastated.
Indeed.
Kathy ?
Goodness!
Goodness!
