Good afternoon, John.
Washing tidying and cleaning for me this morning, too, so had to stay off the forum to get it done!
You have a great week too, my friend.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning, John!
I took daughter to school this morning, and that also felt like 100lt of water. Whoever came up with the idea that kids should start school at the age of 5?

Good afternoon, Lena!
Errrrrr, I don't know the answer to that question.
Points to anyone who does.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning all!

First job of the day is to get one of our cars in for its annual service and MOT

In the UK, every car over 3 years old must pass an annual safety test as set by the Ministry Of Transport... hence MOT. The ministry is now called the Department of Transport, but the MOT name has stayed.

Good afternoon, Linda.
I thought that said "one of our cats". Must get new glasses.
Good luck to the car.

Every two years in California, our cars have to have a smog check.

No checks here at all, I don't think.
The condition of some of the vehicles on the road here and the smoke that comes out of them !
Good morning.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

What is a smog check ? Is it a check of how much emissions causes your cats ?

Cats again, ha, ha!
I don't think you can control the emissions of cats.
Maybe by their diet a bit, I suppose.
Good afternoon, Bee, hope you're having a good day.

I think your language skills are GREAT! I studied several languages over the years, partly for school and later for fun- it takes hard work, a good memory and an open mind!
Good for you!

Good morning, Bee !
Languages can be such fun.
You can form many friendships by trying to speak people's languages and getting it wrong !
It breaks the ice.

Hopefully all okay !

Yes, indeed!
When I worked in New Zealand, I discovered some interesting differences in word usage despite the fact that both the US and New Zealand speak English, more or less!!
One example that comes to mind is that we use "suspenders" and "garters" to mean exactly the OPPOSITE things on our side of the Pond! Another is that over here, "fanny" is a very benign reference to one's bum that is acceptable in polite company, but over there... well, it's NOT!!!!! Ask me how I found out! On second thought, DON'T!!!!!!

Yep, and we all know from here, that UK English and US English can be miles apart sometimes.
And as for Scottish English !

The NZ meaning of "fanny" is the same as it's meaning in UK English.

Off out with Tidgy and wifey for the next set of photos, though I have today's done already, so it's all good.

That would be illegal in Denmark, apparently. A local newspaper is telling the readers not to drown slugs in beer. (Meant not as a delicacy but a means of pest control. Or so I hope.)
