The Virtual Lounge

well, fluffy onesie on + donkey brown boottee-tyle slippers

cuppa Twinnings tea = everyday variety, decaff + s/sk milk = no sugar +

Blue Ribband original choccy bic to hand

checking on my cat Marvellous Marty the Magnificent = beside me in his pet-bed under the wooden desk 

on which new basic desktop printer will be put = on or around next payday ..... I mean upon the wooden desk not upon the cat  

kicked my old basic Epson printer in frustration many many months ago 

therapeutic for me for about 3 nano-seconds but really, really bad for the printer 

well, let's see if there are many takers for my initial entry into the off-top unofficial world of 'the lounge area'

Hi @Anonymous My "better half" would be horrified if I demoted her to that status.  She says she is my better 75% at the very least!  She is away now food shopping with our daughter - I am on the school run to collect granddaughter number 2 at eleven o'clock.  She is at an exam revision class this  morning.  Seems like only yesterday she was sitting on my knee listening to every syllable of such poetic gems as "Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall" or "Little Minnie Mums could not do her sums".  I suppose I would end up in court if I recited those nowadays - they would probably offend PC brigade sensitivities.

@Toby think I will have to sit outside for my lunch today working looking out at all this sun. This is where I will sit outside the office/workshop today I think it is nice to work in a rural location.

Oh never mind @Toby . At least you are well protected from the harmful rays of the bright sun and cooling gentle breeze as it wafts slowly round the garden. You are not distracted by the birdsong or the high flying aircraft as they make their trails in the picturesque blue sky above. Now head down and get on with your work!!

@Anonymous  Well snap! I have the 15 year old grandson this week and I am all of a tizz!

He is doing mock mocks (whatever the heck THEY are) and I seem to be here there and everywhere this week

If I am not picking him up at some silly time, (like 1pm as he has an exam the following day) I am dropping him off at school the following day at 1pm to do said exams...

What happened to going to school at 9-3.30 every day and studying for exams when you got home?

I told him I was ruining the environment with all this car usage...he said ........what DO you mean?

I think he had a science exam that day as well!!!..............

@Cleoriff  I won't say what age I am ( but its between 68 and 70) yet the word "exam" still fills me with terror. I was never academically gifted (is that the modern expression?).  I wasn't stupid - I was a plodder.  I needed time to absorb new ideas etc.  I well remember when I was doing A level Maths, my teacher said to me "Not only can you not get it right, you can't even get it wrong properly!".     When I was 48 I enrolled with the Open University.  I got a BSc degree - and two of the courses I studied for that were "An introduction to Maths" and "Mathematical Models and Methods"  - so I guess one is never too late to learn.
