    MY elephant.....I went to London today without my Diazepam back-up and I didn't need it at all! And Wicked was most fantabulous and I cried and it had Lee Mead in it.

    DS sat his highers in the summer & is sitting a couple more this year & an advanced higher.
    Certainly doesent get his brains from me thats for sure:rotfl:
    One of my friends has just got a wee(for the moment:rotfl:)bearded collie puppy.
    What a cutie pie:D

    Not too good, don't think you have failed though, far from it. You have just hit a plateau, we all do sometimes. Ohh intelligent boy you have there, does he have any idea what he want to do in life/study? Aww lil puppy, I must show you some recent pictures of Dolby. We had to bath him the other day and as he is overdue a cut he looked so cute :A

    Buddhist course is 5 days at the European Centre in the south of France.
    First all Scottish course & first time I have been.
    Looking forward to it but a bit aprehensive too IYSWIM.

    Thanks, I guess the sig sums up how I have been feeling these last 9ish weeks. The coure sounds lovely, will you get time to visit a bit of france too? I can understand you being a bit aprehensive but try and relax and enjoy the 5 days. Are you going with anyone you know?
