Taught my children Left and Right by writing capital L & R inside their shoes. Letters on the inside. Place letters together and shoes are always on the correct feet. Win win.

Abigail had this problem with shoes and Wellingtons until I showed her if you put them together, there was a big Vee in the middle of them if they were the wrong way round and a small Vee if you got them the correct way.
She never forgot it.

Morening all, sorry no time I have to be in Mordor shortly, but this time sarf of old stinky otherwise known as the Thames. I hate travelling to Mordor.

Bloods this morning were 5.6
Now I must stand in the indoor rain cabinet then get a move on.

Stay safe all.

Any holiday makers in the Lakes this weekend should be informed that the weather is like that throughout the year and not to believe the lying images in brochures or taken by Tic-Toc “Infuenzers” (correct spelling for this species). Never mind all this “stop the boats” stuff - “cull the tourists”.

I can see why you are happy today @dunelm.
Happy birthday to Little Miss Pamplemouse I am sure she will have a great day.

Good morning everyone on yet another gloomy start to what may well turn into a frabjous day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.6 this am - pat on back, have some bacon. Girl In The Bubble back from holidays and stayed over last night - not yet up. It’s Little Miss Pamplemouse’s 9th birthday today and the grandchildren are gathering for a birthday tea and cake fest this afternoon after an explore in the woods (weather dependent) - best take some drugs late morning then. I would get a ReWalk exoskeleton but I’m ten bob short of a whippet towards the humongous cost even with green shield stamps and a fistful of old Luncheon Vouchers. Art bit - some minor additions but best leave it alone I think. Onie-hoo, I hope your day is a good one, I shall face mine with the enthusiasm of a 4 year old in a Batman t-shirt. Best load up with koffy.

Morning all from the first misty morning here in L.A. Fbg of 4.9 here and 5.4 by 8.00 after morning basics and 700 mls tea (leaf tea made in a white china pot, white mug and almond milk natch) so steady as she goes. @gennepher hug for the frustration - bothers - but thanks for persisting (as if you wouldn't) and sharing. I don't know about left and right but offside and leg side (especially cow corner) work for me. Have a good day but maybe not Sheffield Utd or Wigan football - sorry soccer - teams.

Thanks Ian
Your tea sound good...

Smashing creative. I was asked by “The Management” to log out, log in, turn off, turn on - that sort of stuff but it wasn’t until I deleted my browsing history as well that things came back. Just checked and the emoji smiley face is not back on the top row - yesteday it was grouped with the three little dots crowd. Has the website suddenly become sentient and with the mind of a 5 year old child? And yes -a splash of scotch.

Edit: I can copy and paste again - Yoo! Halo!

Ah, the emojis are back on...you must have worked some magic @dunelm
:joyful:

Thank you.

The senior school I went to was strict, each class had to get in straight lines and distance themselves and walk in step from the playground into class or morning assembly. A senior teacher called out the step and the pace. Slight infractions of rules lead to the cane. We soon knew our left from our right.

Was that school approved?


Borstal or military college?
Ha!

Regardless of weather, the lakes are a beautiful area. You can still your in the rain!
Once long ago we had a great week in Applethwaite, but it never stopped from scotch mist to torrential!
I know the Eskimos have hundreds of words for snow! Us northerners should have millions of words, sayings and essays about how we get our water from the heavens!

Thank you for the chortles, the information on the ReWalk exoskeleton, the image of you in a Batman T-shirt and sharing the art. Happy birthday Little Miss Pamplemouse - A A Milne stopped at 6. All this talk about rain and cooler conditions is foreign here. Ipswich (county town of Suffolk) - I've never been and have no wish to - is supposedly UK's 3rd driest place but this part of The Brecks must be drier. Enjoy your coffee, your grandchildren, your day and many more.

Visited Portman road many moon's ago, it was anything but dry, especially the IPA in a local drinking establishment!
 
6.6 mmols!
Youngest granddaughter has joined gymnastics club and enjoyed it thoroughly. A certificate was gained for her ability and agility. I have also rewarded her with her favourite confectionery!

Weather cooler and cloudier! A draught around the legs, and washing on line!
Chores and shopping completed, Saturday afternoon footie to focus on after food prep!
Salad on standby, if the cooking is later this evening!

Gotta go cuppa to make.

Have a satisfactory Saturday, all my best wishes as always!

No it was just after the war, a boys school and most of the teachers were exmilitary. Some were in the first war, one showed us his MC. He rounded up a German machine gun nest alone.
One had shell shock still from first war and often had to go out in the corridor and walk up and down, poor devil. He caned me once and broke his cane, probably for chewing sweets which was seen as an infraction of schools rules.

I saw what happened at the Boston borstal, the lads were really tough and they made them reclaim some of the Wash marshes as farmland with shovels.
The Witham mouth was where we went birding after riding there on our bikes over forty miles, mainly across the Fen.

Just decided that today would be the day to strip my bed - there's no other washing left to be done, so it seems like a good time. Managed to strip it and get a bottom sheet on, but there I stalled but I shall have to get it done by tonight otherwise it will be just a blanket wrapped around me to sleep. BG at least is behaving itself and has been in the 5's all day so far - that's after Libre woke me twice in the night to tell me BG was too low. I've put some weight back on so I'm being as controlled as possible as far as carbs are concerned - I think perhaps I relaxed my guard too much after joining this "Counterweight" class. Gone a bit too far the other way now.
