After she wreaks havoc on Texas and Louisiana, current forecast has Laura winding her way over to @Maro2Bear and @Blackdog1714's neck of the woods, before entering the Atlantic again and re-strengthening.

We've already had storms here that pulled up huge trees because of all the air disturbance and southern Ohio is supposed to see some of the bands affecting our weather too. I've been watching our weather channel with their satellite.

Oh, I'll have to remember that... ?

Although I've been told my irrepressible (no filter) "you are SO full of ?" look is utterly devastating. Especially if directed at someone I used to respect.
You aught to see Blackdog's wifey's smile. I believe his story.?

Good afternoon/morning all.
It is a very wet day here - wish I could send it in the direction of all those US wildfires.
I'm busy doing nothing, Lola has decided to stay in his heated house and not attempted to go out today.
I think this week has gone really quickly considering I've not done a lot.
It's a bank holiday in the UK on Monday and I think the weather is settling down for that.
Our schools start back on Tuesday amid a lot of fear and trepidation about whether covid will affect the kids and teachers and how the classrooms will be best managed. Seems to me parents are worrying about that yet they've allowed their kids to hang around in big gangs without any social distancing so I think controlled spaces will be letter risky for them.
This will be the first Sept in my life when I don't have to go back to school! It will seem very strange, but I'm sure I'll get used to it!!
Hope you are all having a good Thursday.
Since you're missing out on teaching lessons. It's your perfect time to homeschool your neighbors on proper etiquette ??

Thank you!
I've been wondering if you are getting more information on how to use the mirrors. I've been around a lot of paraplegic people and amputees. I've always felt that they go through pain just in a different way. Pain comes from the brain. It's interesting because that could help so many people if it works. I just think it really could.☺️

I am sure that you will get used to not having to go back to school extremely quickly. I know I would. ??

I've been looking forward to this since I started teaching - can't quite believe I've finished for good now. I had thought I may do some supply/substitute work but with all the upheaval caused by covid I think I'm better off out of it.

All is good here on the home front... this was one of those cases where I prepared for the worst and received the best.. :)
Thank goodness for that!
We had gusts of about 68 mph the other day and wind that strong really worries me so I'd be a wreck with anything stronger or tornadoes etc.
I hope everyone else in it's path stays safe too.

I'm having an early night as I have 2 hospital appointments tomorrow. One is at 9 a.m. in one hospital for a biopsy on a mysterious facial 'thing' and the other is at 3 pm at another hospital about 30 miles away about my impending arthroscopy. Seems appointments are rather like British buses at the moment, you wait for ages and then 2 come along at the same time. Thank goodness there's plenty of time for me to get from one to another.
So nos da friends, see you tomorrow but until then take care.

Nos da!
Good luck tomorrow! :)
I've sort of retired from teaching since March as well.
Nobody enters my apartment these days.
Well, wifey and Tidgy are allowed and the guy who brings my bloody heavy gas cylinders, but that's absolutely it for the last five months.
No more students.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Actually, I miss a couple of 'em.)

Well, I'll obviously continue lessons in the Cold Dark Room, occasionally.
Did you know that there is a real psychological condition called boanthropy whose sufferers believe that they are cows?
They live their lives as they believe a cow would.

Good luck - my skin spot got me half a mini facelift by my right eye! At least half of the wrinkles on my left eye! Take care!

That is very mooving. I wonder if they milk their stories about themselves. Mookie is not a cow, she is a dog that looks like a cow. ?
