You can provide them with all the toys going and they still seek out novel ways to entertain themselves
I’m home. Cuppa made. Time to relax
Welcome home, Linda!
Oh no, Your holiday is over!!! I hope that you at least did get some rest and recovered somewhat.
Love your interpretation. It’s a beautiful artwork.
Oh Shame,The Midlands in the UK had a months rainfall in a very short time yesterday and many poor souls had their homes flooded for the 2nd time in 2 years. An 80 year old man died in his car
That is very sad. We need some happy news in the CDR, as there is too much sad news coming in. And as a side note: I would happily take the water / rain off their hands if they want. I won't even charge them.
Good morning all. The storm passed through early this morning and is now off the East coast.
It’s still rather damp here, but not raining hard.
I need to run son to the station this morning; he is heading back to Bristol to pack his stuff up and clean his student flat. Tomorrow, I’m driving to Bristol to collect him and his gear... I have made it clear that my back won’t allow me to carry anything, or to spend time bent over cleaning. When I get there I’ll need to walk round to relieve sitting in a driving position for a long time so I’m in a fit state to drive back.
I do better as a car passenger on long journeys as I can fidget and keep changing my position. That’s hard to do when you’re behind the wheel

No, no no. Don't say that....fate might be listening!!
Good morning, roommates! Hope everyone is safe and warm and has a Terrific Tuesday!
I think that alot of kids would stay in school here if they got paid to do it. It would help ease the burden on parents. It is law that kids have to go to school until grade 12 here, but of course that does not always happen. Obviously if your parents can afford it then they go, but if they are in a poor family, then that is a different story.To be honest very few of the kids appreciate the fact they have free education and can't understand why some would pay to be in school.
Some of our 16 year olds get paid to be in day college after school - I think it's £30 a week but they have to have full attendance and be on time.
An Educational Maintenance Allowance I think it's called.
Yay, Welcome haome and hope you enjoyed your cuppa.You can provide them with all the toys going and they still seek out novel ways to entertain themselves

That is a good way to look at it and very meaningful. I actually also liked the blue through it. Maybe get your sister to do a sketch on a piece of paper and frame it in the meantime. You can put it up on your wall somewhere where everytime you look up you will see it and then be reminded of your plan and struggles that you are beating.
Snap on the pic in a frame on the wall.Don't do it Dan
Tattoos can cause all spots of problems with blood poisoning and scars etc if not done properly.
Put the picture in a frame on your wall instead
Annndddd of course there is nothing happening in South Africa.
Good Luck with all of it. And just take it easy. Also stick to your word and do not help to clean and or carry heavy boxes etc. That what strapping young and strong sons are for.Good morning all. The storm passed through early this morning and is now off the East coast.

Good Morning Lena.
I hope you are having a great and restful Tuesday as well. So what is on the agenda for today for you and your daughter?
Good Morning All,
I am making a chicken red thai curry soup for the staff at my work today. And sjoe, but peeling patatoes and turnips and then cutting them into blocks is hard work.
Nothing else to report, other than I am bored again as we are waiting for more work to come in. Sigh. Not until later all. Enjoy your Tuesdays.

The soup sounds good. I think I may get a pan going. I shall clear out my vegetable drawer
I need to work now, then will try to drag daughter geocaching in the afternoon. [emoji23]
Here’s her red carpet moment:
She got a diploma as the “Best Comedy Actress”. (All kids got “Best” something or other, including “Most Charming”, “Most Photogenic”, “Most Talented”.)
It was a sweet event. The Russian moms were much less so — telling husband and I that we were “embarrassing” ourselves because we were holding a bag of popcorn in a photo or that daughter would suffer “childhood trauma” if we don’t run out and buy her flowers...

Lovely photos Lena. Your daughter looks far from traumatised by your parenting skills! [emoji23]
In fact I’d say she looks extremely happy and proud
