RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted January 18, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2015 Bright sunny day here again was about -3 first thing and at the back of the house out of the sun it is about 0, snow not a sign... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
railsquid Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Have a good day one & all and may the sprog drop go well (I wonder if Japanese Midwives understand English bad language?) I'm sure they'll understand Mrs. Squid's Yamato-esque utterances. Anyway I've been sent home for the night to await further developments in the company of my phone.

Killybegs Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Well that was a very productive morning. About a gallon of soup made, debris from storms cleared up, fallen tree sawn up and enjoyed a lengthy phone conversation with brother and SiL (as it was her birthday yesterday). Now it's time for some of that delicious soup (chicken and vegetable). Enjoy the rest of the day. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danemouth Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 My final experience of teaching was in a supply capacity at a school with a very civilised arrangement - when a teacher had done a supervisory break duty, then the Teaching Assistant would take the class for 15 minutes to enable the teacher "go for a hot drink", etc! And on a cold morning, the "etc" was essential! This morning I was very glad to return to my cosy apartment after attending a 30 minute service (brilliant!) at the church opposite to where I live, followed by a brisk walk along Babbacombe Cliffs then on to St. Marychurch precinct for a little shopping before returning via two rather attractive parks. And all in bright sunshine after a chilly start. Hope your day is equally pleasing. Sherry, Glad to hear you have found a church that suits you after your recent less than happy experience at another place of worship, Regards, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted January 18, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2015 Afternoon All Didn't get on much yesterday, so didn't get caught up as much as I hoped. Roads round here were pretty treacherous first thing, and then we had some wet snow which the bright sun has just about dealt with. Early wood burner today, and a hearty stew for dinner to try to keep the cold out. Still think that the central heating will be getting a bit of a run later on. Not really a whole lot more to say, but as usual generic commiserations to those ailing, and congratulations to those celebrating - oh yes and railsquid, hope all is going well.

RMweb Premium AndyB Posted January 18, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2015 Afternoon all, So, if Public Health England recommend cocoa, wondering what Public Health Scotland recommend. I'd be tempted to spend my winter fuel allowance on a decent malt whiskey! Just back from swimming over at Guildford. At what point did tattoos become so popular that those of us without them seem under-dressed? 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Killybegs Posted January 18, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2015 It was a beautiful afternoon so, having been very industrious this morning, we decided that we deserved a trip out to Muckross (the headland we can see from the house and which protects the bay from the worst of the seas). Needless to say a large cloud appeared as we were driving over but we had a great walk with the dogs before Steph left me waiting for the sun to come out and headed back to the car. It was very cold standing around in the biting wind. The sun showed itself briefly so I was able to get a couple of half decent shots in the evening light. I had no sooner joined Steph back at the car when a large pod of dolphins appeared in the bay. The light was bad by then and I was using my little pocket camera on maximum zoom, so the quality is VERY poor! By the time I gave up, my hands were like blocks of ice. Great entertainment though. 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock67B Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Evening all, Thanks for the link 'shortliner', now I've seen it with my telescope (night before last), I'm happy! General information for the uninitiated - 'Whisky', when produced in Scotland, doesn't normally have an 'e' in it! Joanna had a good result at her hospital check up this morning so we're just off to a bit of a family celebration - probably means I'll be a bit 'tired and emotional' (in Private Eye parlance) to post further tonight! She had a small skin cancer on her temple last year but the consultant today felt that no further intervention is required, just check it now and then for changes - result!! Hope everyone has enjoyed Sunday so far and that the week ahead brings only pleasant experiences. Kind regards, Jock. PS G'night Pete! G'night all! (In case I'm slurring later!) 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post New Haven Neil Posted January 18, 2015 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2015 Did I post yesterday? Can't remember! Wasn't that drunk at our staff night out either....honest. Today I have mostly been freezing to death at Groudle, but we had a very productive day - lifting track preparing for a relay. NHN in the yellow hiviz, that looks suspiciously ex-Police. No idea how that happened... .but I suspect my old Inspector is still looking for it. 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon G Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Has anyone tried this? Rail Maze - Free Puzzle games are great fun and a good source of free gaming. In Rail Mail you build a railroad quickly out of square tiles. The free version is surprisingly packed, and a good way to pass the time. There is a 69p version with extras though, if you really like it. It's from the Apple/Mac store. I've not played that, but in my youth we used to play the Waddington's board game 'Railroader' where up to 4 people have to build their railroad and then drive their train to the end first to win. It used to be quite competitive between me and my 3 brothers and assorted friends! Drainpipe duly fixed, wood sorted for the week! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted January 18, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2015 Nah, he doesn't do faceache and certainly isn't on here!

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted January 18, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2015 Evening, troops... We did go out for a walk in the glorious afternoon sun after I'd completed my dose of prep for today. Dinner was this: Oriental style chopped lamb with home made hommous, pine nuts and a lemon, garlic and coriander sauce, served with roast carrots. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted January 18, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 18, 2015 We didn't get to Southend seafront for our walk. We went down to the park in Benfleet and went past the railway station and had a walk along the seawall at Benfleet Creek. We spent a while looking at various ducks, gulls and waders. The egrets seemed to favour the ditches in the park rather than the creek. For a few years the egrets seem to have been solitary and rather territorial but there seem to be a couple of pairs now. Aditi was quite pleased today as she has cleared the backlog of work stuff she inherited last August. However she now has to produce a timetable for next semester (not an Americanism, they work in semesters not terms for some reason). Apparently producing the timetable is a sign of strength of character. She just wishes people would stop telling her stories about who went bonkers producing one!

Coombe Barton Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 . Apparently producing the timetable is a sign of strength of character. She just wishes people would stop telling her stories about who went bonkers producing one! Producing timetables is a four dimensional problem - staff, students, place and time. Trouble is that we normally think in three. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is that we normally think in three. The Sanskrit meaning of Aditi's name is she who is infinite, unbounded by space or time. Should be useful for a timetabler! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
