Good afternoon/evening all.
It was lovely to see everyone in work today and find out what they've been up to this summer, but now I've done that I don't want to go back.:(
We had a short day today, but the kids will be in tomorrow so all back to normal.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Good luck, Lyn! It’ll take some getting used to

It's no wonder people have trouble learning English... The US spells and celebrates Labor Day and the Canadians spell and celebrate Labour Day. Sooo...who's correct? hehehe

Canadians love the middle way and worry about offending anyone. That’s why we have “Tire Centres” (not “tire centers” or “tyre centres”). And don’t let me get started on “Progressive Conservatives” [emoji23][emoji260]

The jumping ones are the worst, at least in my house they are, because they are the little buggers that like biting me.:mad:

Speaking of which, Charlotte is gone after two nights of rain. But I wish someone had told me the spider plant is called that way not only because of the thin long leaves creeping out of the flower pot. Looks like I’m subletting to a family of at least two.

They were very shy, and hid before I could snap a pic.

One of my and husband’s favourite jokes ever! [emoji23]

Like current day safety regulations for just about anything and everything. Helmets and knee pads and gloves and....to ride a bicycle? Car seats? Seat belts, smoke alarms, CO2alarms, buzzers to tell parents they left their kids in the back seat of their car! Food labels, warnings on side effects of drugs. Too much coffee, not enough, alcohol, red wine yes or no. Whew, wonder how anyone survives!

Yes and only because of the graces of God. However, if you don't live He might be just sparing you from something worse. Sooo...I just feel like living happily every moment. I knew they were full of crap when they said coffee is bad for you. Let alone the rest.

Here are some more differences:
Color - Colour
Favor - Favour

I tend to use Colour, Favour, Labour etc.
And the slang depending on where you live. What's really interesting is I all languages do that. Even Dilly has his cat language and understands my brother's deaf person talk.

Happy Tuesday one n All.

With Dorian on the surge I keep hoping our extended family in Florida is safe and sound! Some nasty damage and flooding in the Bahamas.

With Summer Holidays all done and kids and colleges back to school, today is considered Terrible traffic Tuesdsy - traffic jams and chsos on the streets.

Looks to be a nice sunny day again here, with the remnants of Dorian knocking to enter at the weekend.

Ps - my thumb is still nasty sore and a swollen, but on the mend. Still extremely tender.
I'll be thinking of you and your thumb also. Hopefully Dorian will just do a right turn and spare the US. Then we could help the Bahamas more.
