This is the second day birthday wish for Wifey:



​

Happy second day birthday to wifey.

Leeds won for the first time this year!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, Wales lost the rugby. As did England. Swansea lost their football match and Luton scraped a draw in extra time.

We did get a snowboarding bronze though which means team GB has won the most medals ever at a Winter Olympics. We have 5. We got 4 in both 2014 and 1924. We’re not good at winter sport!

Even as an office it is still alot of cleaning. Poor Ann. It should have been the king of hearts in Alice in Wonderland seen as how King Henry VIII was so fond of beheading his wives.

He only beheaded two. He divorced two as well.

We learn the order in history as young children:
Divorced, beheaded, died
Divorced, beheaded, survived

 

[JoesMum]

I take it that you are talking about football or as we refer to it - soccer?

Yes. The great Leeds United Football Club. They ate going through very bad times at the moment

I never learned that. And oops I stand corrected. I thought he beheaded them all except for the last one. Good to know the correct info now.

The first divorce caused the church in England break away from the church in Rome. England became protestant and Henry VIII ordered all the monasteries to be destroyed, keeping their wealth for himself.

It’s a pretty significant bit of our history that we learn over here. You learn about your own history... although that does involve ours too I suppose. Same in the USA

I've gotten my husband addicted to the full-metal alchemist series[emoji5]

That was a good one too.

I think we briefly touched on King Henry but it was so far back I don't remember it all very well. I did however remember the bit about him causing the break away from the catholic church and that was how the protestant church came to be. Doesn't the protestant church have a very similar church service to the catholic church except for a few rule changes - for example divorce being allowed?

 

[CarolM]

That was a good one too.

Hi There Dan. How're you doing?

 

[DE42]

Hi There Dan. How're you doing?

I'm ok. Worked a little outside today at the house and now at work. Saturdays are not too bad. Less people and no bosses.

The services are different. Until relatively recently, Catholic services were conducted in Latin! The Catholic churches are highly decorated with altars for many saints around them. The protestant churches are much simpler without so much focus on the saints.

So we now have “yellow snow warnings” - causes much sniggering as we all know what makes snow yellow

Kent, where I live is in the south east - bottom right - of the UK and things could get a bit interesting next week. We don’t get much snow in this part of the UK, so the councils don’t have the equipment to deal with it.

I am going to be saying Good Night all. Tomorrow is laundry day and my brother-in-laws birthday. So I have to get the laundry done as soon as possible as tea and cake is in the afternoon. Enjoy your Sundays and Not chat/see you tomorrow.

[Tidgy's Dad]

Me thinks you mde up 8!

Ahem.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

According to google we do have Magpies. But it did not mention Cape Town specifically. I will have to look out for them. Generally my eye sight is not that good unless they are in front of me. So my new challenge will be.....spot the magpies.

Well, the thirteen have to be spotted together.
So perhaps we might have to change the rhyme to, "On or two for rain".

 

[DE42]

Ahem.

Did you say your favorite doctor was the 11th?

I've been watching more of the 12th and he is growing on me.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hmmm sometimes that can be a good thing but then how would you feel compassion, happiness, love etc. So maybe not.

As the Doctor says, "When did you last have the pleasure of smelling a flower, watching a sunset, enjoying a well-prepared meal?"
