It`s very sad that I slowly get tired.
Here`s a pic of me lying in my bed and snoring.
Look:

Sabine, you always look so sunny! Does it come with being a bee? ;)

Evening everyone:)
The studying is winding down.
Driving school is almost over. It looks like I've passed the written and the driving portion on the class. I have more training for the rest of the week.
:)
Yay! Congrats, Noel! Now you can offer private lessons to John in case he needs them. :)

good morning lena! how are you today, anything planned?
Need to make a couple of phone calls and maybe get some work done. I hate making phone calls. :(
Already prepared the base for the Russian liver cake that Linda tempted me with on Avarice Day ;) @JoesMum
You?

Good morning all! Today daughter and I are heading out to look for old Harvest Mouse nests again. We've identified a walk that covers 4 different tetrads in one go :)

(A tetrad is a 2km square on a map)

The walk finishes conveniently close to a rather nice pub (with very good beer Gramps!)

Tetrad!!! In Russian, tetrad' (soft d) means 'notebook'. And of course it comes from Greek - meaning, as quick googling tells me, a "quaternion of parchment". I never thought of the etymology of the word until you mentioned it!

Hello Ed,

but retiring is a good thing I thought.
No more "have to work". Time for things you love. No getting up early in the morning.
Can I ask you how old you are ?
I'll be 53 when I'm out. (I'm 52 now.)

Is the G36 ( Heckler & Koch ) too expensive for you ?;)
Yes.
The two I just purchased to ad to my collection are CENTURY ARMS. Yugoslavian and Romanian surplus with some American parts here and there, basically. About $725 U.S.
Very decent, but not very refined.

Good evening friends hope you are all having a good 'hump day'
I have been very patient today with 11 very loud and excitable pupils on Outdoor activities.
We waded through a deep cold puddle to get to a disused railway tunnel in the Brecon Beacons
(Torpantau Tunnel) then walked a mile each way in complete darkness!

Lots of screaming and some tears...........and that's just the staff!!

They were all very proud of themselves for completing the challenge at the end of it!
Very very cool. I would have liked to have joined the class.

Oh, dear...there's an awful lot of Wrath going around here in the US already...:confused: and in the UK too, it seems...

I mainly lurked today because I was in a really horrible mood.. :(:mad::confused::oops:o_O:( and did not want to inflict myself on others.
Sometimes I can perk up my moods by getting very busy, so I've got a loooooong "to do" list for tomorrow. :)
I may only pop in and out a few times tomorrow, but I'm still here!!! ;)
Hugs to All.
Nos da.
Hi, Bea!
If you do want to take it out on someone, shout and yell at me in the Cold Dark Room.
It is quite acceptable today.
Or any day, actually, if it makes you feel better.
But today I may shout back. :mad:

I think I'll share this one with [Stri=42479]@Lyn W[/USER]. Taking 11 excitable, whimpering kids into a dark tunnel -- and not leaving a few there -- takes some epic patience. And an honorable mention should go to @Yvonne G for her patience with us on geckotalk. ;) Today, ladies, we can strike back with vengeance. :D
Sharing ?
Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!:mad:
Strike hard!
