My grandma's last words were: "The sausages are in the fridge."
Although they weren't.
I like to think she was a spy and this was code for something big.
For the mum: a feeding cushion.
For the baby: a taggie. My girl has just reached 4 months and loves her.
(But if you know her really well: she wants breast pads and sanitary towels.....)
I have a son who has just turned two. He loves Dora and we sit and talk about the places she needs to go. He has picked up a lot more information than I thought he would. I have also watched Boohbah with him and it in no way stunts his language: he likes to talk about the story people episodes and discuss what is happening (not a lot, but that gives me time to explain it better!) And Thomas, although I quite dislike a lot of the stories, he likes to announce the emotions on the engines' faces. My son has excellent language skills: slow-moving shows where you can talk to your child are good at this age I think...
If anybody knew who James Purefoy was, you'd all agree that he'd be the best James Bond. It needs someone less well known than Clive Owen et al. Although I'm sure Dreadnought would be outstanding.
NHS provides them free jb: sign on at a Well Woman clinic (attached to most health centres). It is the best place for all "women issues" and includes good advice and services.
Just back home after struggling to get the pupils home from school: a government state of emergency fax meant we weren't allowed to let them go on the buses, even though they are still running in our part of London.
My better half works in Liverpool Street: he is fine, as I make him go in to work ridiculously early, so he missed the blast. He is now trying to trek home, despite the fact that there are no buses or tubes in zone 1. So it will be a while before I see him I think.
There are Chinook helicopters flying overhead. Bizarre.
It's Euro 2005 boys: are ya not all supporting the lovely ladies?????? Where are your impassioned comments about throwing away a damn good lead to the pesky Danes????
Humph: part timers......
I have just spent much time playing with this and looking at the various places I have lived. If you squint and use your imagination, you can see the house I grew up in, in one photograph.
Cheers for the link Plegmund.
This is why I stalk you!
Fairness is a human concept -- and one of our finest ones, I think.
I shall tell that to the two fantastic pupils I teach, whose mother lost their asylum appeal today. They will be deported back to Angola fairly shortly.
I second what dng says: check out how the local candidates did in the previous election and cast your vote where it will have most effect (at keeping the tories out). I, unfortunately, live in a true blue constituency ...
