Good morning All. It’s a little chilly here this morning compared to our last few days but looks like it’s gonna be a gorgeous day. Think my son is getting the crud so I will be working from home today:-(

Oh, I hope it’s a false alarm and he’ll be just fine after a little rest. But I’m sure he’s gonna love being home and having you around. :)

Here’s what I found in the charity shops:

Some eggs for Easter.... which are actually — candles. And a photo frame that fits daughter’s portrait, to take to my mom when we go visit her in mid-April.

All cost under 4 USD, or less than 3 GBP.

Daughter is probably going to second grade next year, if we make the big move and relocate to Canada. She's in Year 2 now of the British system, but they start school earlier (age 5) and I wouldn't want her to be the youngest in her class in the new school if she goes straight to Grade 3. (She's actually the youngest in her class as it is.)

How old is your toddler?
She is no longer a toddler. She’s four now. She starts school in August. I am going to miss her morning snuggles.
I keep a three year old boy to bring in some income and he is getting a baby brother in July so I will have both of them starting mid August. I’d love to not have to keep them but with the cost of actual daycare costing $1300 a month for the two of them, his mom begged me. I’m much cheaper but I did raise my rates a good bit and it’s only Mon-Wed. The grandparents keep them two days a week.

Mrs B is hard at work on Day 8 of her building programme (excuse the radio in the background)


Another Bluet!t paid a most unwelcome visit earlier and she fought it out. Her other half has been in to inspect too. He doesn’t help with the bulld, but she doesn’t attack him!

I can’t tell Mr & Mrs B apart yet... it’s just that only the female builds the nest.. Last year I was able to work it out. I hope I can this year.

Now the key equivalent I have built into my head is

32F = 0C (just knew that one)

And an equation which doesn’t get used thanks to Google
F = C x 9/5 +32

I have since learned
35-37C = 95-100F
27C = 80F
as I may have posted basking and ambient temps rather a lot!
I have said, over and over here on the Forum, I'm too old and set in my ways to learn different ways of weights and measures, but I may have to change my way of thinking. Your post makes it look easy.

Horse flies! Mean, nasty beasties! We get them in Europe too, but they’re less common in the UK.

They seem to like wet skin. As a kayaker, I got bitten most frequently by rivers on a warm
day when I wasn’t wearing long sleeves and my arms were wet.
Rivers bite???

Why may I ask don't you want to go in for hospital care if I may ask? Would it not be better and help you get better quicker?
I have been in and out of hospitals since 2015. Right after the accident in 2015 I was in hospitals, rehabs and assisted living for almost 3years . Since I have been home. I have been back in hospitals 3 or 4 times. When I posted that my attitude was lousy. I seem to be getting better. I feel good this morning so I hope it lasts all day.
