Popping in late! I slept through my alarm and woke up at 7:30 when I needed to be otd at 7:40 for my session with the personal trainer. I was late - but he's really chill.
That is a beautiful haunting song, trissie. I wasn't sure where the ad was going, but it was very sweet.
Enjoy reading Ninja Bunny, L Ann.
Congratulations on retirement, CL! I can see how that would be sad too. I hope your legacy there will continue through the remaining teachers. Knowing you, you'll keep busy as ever.
I had to google McCain chips, Doggedly. Looks like they're a brand of frozen "french fries" here?
Kitty, I also liked those bands as a teen - although I couldn't have named "Madness".
I still enjoy the Police - and Sting.

) I managed to leave early, and dropped off my flapjack for the Y , posted the birthday card to DF HT and hoovered the car before church. The service was very renewing, and lunch at the College went ok. (There were only three of us in the end. I hate to say it, but this year's intake of students don't seem to be nearly as mature as last year's.)
