Good Wednesday all.
Hope it is a good one.

Quite true. I also remember there being two temperatures of water from the tap in the UK: COLD, and... FRIGID.
And it’s great
We can drink it straight from the tap without needing to refrigerate it if we want a cold drink
But is it? The drink is chilled when dispensed by all restaurants, etc. Only if the drink is kept at room temperature you don’t need much ice to chill it and keep it cold while you drink it. (Brit opinion
)
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 luck!
Welcome to the CDR, London! Grab an armadillo to sit on and the One-Legged Pirate will be over shortly with your beverage of choice...Hi! I don’t think we have met before.
I am London and I live in Kent in the South East of England
I bet you all were croaking with laughter!
Hi Marty! We had a bug going around the CDR but I think it's now gone, after @Momof4 did a fantastic job clearing away the cobwebs left everywhere by the Wool Spider (if she exists). Prod a flying jellyfish if you need more light, and try not to step on a hedgehog. I'm Lena, currently in Denmark.
How did that happen? [emoji23]
Autocorrect doing its best autocurrupt!
@aqualungs Yes, I’m Linda ... and I do go to London a lot, but don’t live there
Do you dive Marty?
Well, she IS London to many of us, in a manner of speaking...
Can I use one as a hot-water bottle?
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.
Still, I'd rather not get too familiar with any of them!
Hello, you two gorgeous things! How are you?
