Phil, m'lad you need beefing up. Get some proper beef dripping inside yer. Hope it goes soon. (Colleague whose father is a GP got the 'flu shot on Tuesday evening. She complained of a sore arm yesterday. Today she's off with 'flu symptoms)

It's a bit quiet in here.

*pin drops*

Got back to work on Monday, although I still feel like a mucus production line. Got loads of work on though, as I was off for 7 of the previous 10 days. Unfortunately, my boss is off sick now, and the other third of the IT department is on holiday, so I'm the only person available to fix everything (inc hardware - grrrr).

I'm not going near the Glow Worms game again until someone gets rid of the one with the badly-metred line about nipples. *blames Software*

[pen] It seems OK to me. Confused.

[Phil] I meant it had a typo: you/your. Alternatively 'To you, nipple, I'd be put'. Still weird. Tell me when it's all over.

(pen) The metre's all right - it's just a typo, and a fairly common one.

[penelope] You can come out now.

[Rosie] A common typo? I would challenge that statement - if only because I'm in the mood to challenge pretty much everything this morning ... (insert winky face)
To put it another way - why do we have the 'preview' function' or indeed the 'whoops' escape if not to eradicate such monstrosities? < mode= really going over the top now >

Nobody expects the Monstrous Regiment!

Least of all the Spaniels!

The time I have just observed a group of three adults, two babies, and a toddler take in a cafe, from their first getting-up-to-go movements to actually getting out of the front door. The previous record was 10 minutes, taken by two women, a baby, and an enormous quantity of shopping.

Today is my Birthday!

...in that case it probably still is for nearly another 10 hours. So Happy Birthday Giertrud :-)

Thanks!!

Try to keep growing old for as long as possible.

Ther evenings will start drawing out in less than a week, at least at this latitude, 51° 19' 06"N. This cannot be too soon.

[Rosie] Spoilsport!

[Rosie] Goodie. Ta for that bit of news.

A counting date ... 11/12/13 .... It was in November for us who write the month first though...
