First mug downed, just considering whether or not to have another.
i went to bed early last night (for me).
Got up this morning to find that my student text at 4 am to say he wouldn't be coming this morning!
Oh, well.
I need to go make myself some coffee. As my painkillers make me sleepy.

Very pretty pictures, but i'm glad it's just pictures, I'd be shivering too much to enjoy it.
Good morning, Lena! :)
Get well wishes for your daughter.
I hope you're not feeding bread to the ducks!

Oops. What’s wrong with feeding bread to the ducks? That’s all they eat. I once tried to offer them watermelon. They responded with wild stares and a lot of fowl language. o_O

Ah, yes. I remember this... Happened to me routinely a couple of years back. :D Do you still remember when you were that mom, Linda?
One hundred percent :D

That feeling that you don’t care if your child is only wearing one shoe, a sweater and a pair of fairy wings... we are going out... NOW!

Bread isn’t good food for ducks. Not healthy at all. And it causes problems with water quality too

Same when I visited my dad’s grave last year. I miss him very much, especially in my dreams or when daughter tries to play football (soccer) (dad was a rather talented forward when he was young). But a grave is just a place. My dad isn’t there - he’s alive in my memory.
My Dad died in 2002 of a brain haemorrhage - he was only 67. I have visited his grave only once since he died (it’s in Scotland)

Like you, I feel the grave isn’t my Dad... I don’t need to go there. Dad is in my memories not a gravestone.

Good mornooning all. 11:50am here and I’m in London.

I woke to snow again this morning, but there’s none 40 miles away in the city. I am hoping it’s stopped back home!

My iPhone 6 desperately needed a new battery and Apple has been shamed into replacing them cheaply (£25) for a limited period. Unfortunately, the nearest Apple store to me is being refurbished .... actually that’s fortunate given today’s snow, I wouldn’t have wanted to drive there this morning... so I made an appointment in Covent Garden instead.

I now have an hour to kill in the freezing cold... or a suitable coffee shop with WiFi :D

We speak a hybrid of hillbilly and redneck where I come from. Think a little Larry the Cable Guy and the Beverly Hillbillies. Some just call it Appalachian or mountain talk.

That said I try not to sound toooo country when I talk. Lol
Hi Dan, something like in the video? LOL !
Was that video taken in your town ????:eek::D:D
Btw: I love the video and the song !!!! Really.

It's quackers, that's why!

Rotting bread can also cause algal blooms and even kill fish.:(

Is in coco coir small flying insects fly?
Since I used it I am noticing some small bugs flying over it. How to remove them cause its inside my house and if my Mom sees it she will yell on me[emoji23][emoji23].
Aaaaah
I've never had this problem, but have heard it often.
They are harmless, but , yes, mums don't like them.
You ma have to bake the coco coir or freeze it to kill them.
