MORNING FORKERS

Posted: 07/04/2013 at 11:55

Its true that it gets a bit repetitive at times, but on the other hand it then develops into different conversations and one can flit from one to the other. Quite fun.

Having never seen it before, I watched it with interest while clearing up the kitchen. I really liked it and learnt quite a bit. It is a different climate from the coastal plain of South Wales, but there was a lot to relate to and  enjoy.

Me too, Frank. I usually go to church but got up late and disorganised and have been trying to catch up ever since. The dogs haven't had their walk and are now trying to catch the birds that have the temerity to fly over the garden.

I lik the the kind of minor naughtiness that leads to fun and laughter. My DIL is very grown-up and I sense disapproval occasionally when I do silly and mildly disrespectful things with my grandchildren. She thinks they should learn to behave properly and with decorum. I just want to have fun with them, the naughtier the better.

46 years ago, I married a good man who has always been entirely trustworthy. He's the rock that steadies this foolish dreamer who  goes into 'child' at the slightest provocation. (Not that my ex-pupils would recognise me in this description, more's the pity. I should have had more fun with them).

morning, Pottie Pam. Are you getting infected with the hellebore bug, too? I've planted ten this year and am lusting for more.

Morning, all. This forum is such a happy place over the last 24 hours - laughs and harmony everywhere - that it seems a bit inappropriate to think about ranting. Takes a true MOB to moan at the moment. Will have to talk to a few that I know. No-one on this forum of course!

Slept late this morning and failed to feed OH when he came in from working nights. This was because lay in bed last night chuckling so much at what I'd read on the Amazon link that  could not go to sleep. Your fault, Blackest - but it was worth it!

Morning all! Woke up very late (for me). OH already home from working nights and in bed in the spare room to give me peace. I usually feed him when he comes  in. At moments like this, I realise that he is a bit of a sweetie.

As much as possible, Fairygirl. I'm afraid I'll remain a child at heart until the day I keel over and I do love a good laugh. How about you?

Thanks for using the word 'kindness', Dove, since it is  the key work for all good interaction. I do stupid things sometimes. So does everyone else. Friendship covers it up as far as possible and keeps on trying to create positive interaction.
