Good morninooning, James.Hello Bee62;
Did you type your post in English or German and are you reading my post in English or german, because I posted it in english ( I don't know German)
Just wondering...

wifey's from Ilford, Essex.Bee62, I'm English and live in Essex ( nothing like the TV show by the way)
Haven't really considered time zones till now, it's about 5:00PM where I am!
Well done Mexico!So we all got the Germany match result wrong. Germany broke the run of every European club winning so far by losing... They always spoil things for England; we were fairly sure we would stop the run of European results tomorrow![]()
If "unnecessary activity" includes swimming, then it's my kind of a day by the beach!Good mornooning CDR!
We were woken by gulls at 5am (not so good) but I managed to get back to sleep.
First cuppa of the day on the balcony

Then we went in search of breakfast. There’s a warning not to do unnecessary activity due to the heat today; we intend to comply
[emoji41]
So we are sat in the shade on our balcony with the newspaper and another cuppa![]()

Mid 90s with around 100%How hot is too hot ? And how humid is it ? Sorry for being so curious.
wifey does have a magic wand.SO VERY sorry to hear this, Dan.
Disability does NOT have to be permanent- I know of at least 2 people who used it when they needed it because they had NO other recourse. They were each able to recover sufficiently to go back after a few years and get off Disability. Just a thought.
All that stress can NOT help your health.
i wish I had a magic wand.![]()
Couldn't agree more!Well that’s just the dumbest crap I’ve seen in a while.. ignorant people!!! [emoji35]
England played pretty well and to the last minute. Lots of goals scored in time added on in this World Cup. Play to the end.Oh, I was so disappointed. A matter of not managing one's expectations properly... It's still the important 3 points for the team, hey!![]()
We did have one a while back - can't remember who was playing what, but we nobody booked us to play,Are we starting a band in the CDR??? AAhhh the possibilities.
Eight?Good morning (mornooning) roommates!
Corner-cleaning day here. Before I plunge into all that dust, here's a picture of a little statue in Roskilde harbour. How many ducks do you see?

Recycling - love it!!!The beach here is pebbly - not bucket and spade stuff at all - which rapidly turns to mud.
This is the mound of oyster shells outside the Whitstable Oyster Company restaurant. They rinse all the discarded shells and then use them to maintain the oyster beds. Some of the trestles where they grow the oysters can be seen behind. An oyster grows roughly one inch (2.5cm) a year so those you eat are usually 3 years old.

Well said.I was struggling for the right words, but these are them.
And to reinforce the bit about a degree... I have a degree in Computing. My career is Computing; so what? My degree was done on punch cards and has about as much relevance to 2018 IT as a degree in botany. One of the courses I had to do was “History of Computing” which bore striking similarities to the presentation of “History of Magic” in the Harry Potter books.
Getting that qualification is about more than your immediate career plans. Finish your studies if and when you are able. Approach your university about taking some time out if necessary. Queen guitarist Brian May took a 32 year break in the middle of his Astrophysics phd... it can be done!
Most of all care about yourself in the here and now. Looking back is futile. Making extensive plans for the future will only hurt you more. Live for the positive you can find each day and hopefully meds and healing will make progress even if it is more slowly than you would like.
Your setbacks have been more dramatic than mine, but that’s what they are... setbacks. They don’t have to stop you inching forwards.
We all care and we are all here to listen when you need us.
