My mum adds flour to the stock to make it thicker.
Back from picking up eldest son's AS results, think the less said the better......
Oh dear - not good?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
I'm no expert, but surely that foal is a bit big to be newly-born? Comparing to the size of the mother?
The photo of him lying on the straw is a couple of hours after he was born. The others are the day and two days after. he's huge! All legs....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

The opposite cause of action....not suggesting failure is reversible, is of course equally at risk of being very damaging.
My mother said something like that when I took my driving test - that it was a shame in a way that I hadn't failed it, because it was a not-important occasion to learn to cope with failure....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I failed the first time but I instantly knew when I made the mistake that I would.
Not sure what that says.
But with 98% pass rates for A-levels, they aren't certainly going to learn about failure from standardised education.0 -

Except that A*A*B feels like failure if you don't get the uni place you could have got with AAA.
(I'm rather pleased with mine, BTW. I've had a look at the department's as a whole, and once again there don't seem to be any obvious differences between people taught by different teachers. Phew.)Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

I've been thinking about Silvercar's poor young friend today. when did a B become bad rather than just not outstanding? I seem to recall AAB being a common requirement by the better unis after a good interview.
with so many going now perhaps interview is less common, which is a shame...I think of it as being the important part to separate the top scoring parrots from the thinkers. But...maybe not now?0 -

I was looking at his body and thinking it simply wasn't possible. Poor mummy horse, I guess.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

One of my friends told me she knew she had failed her driving test halfway through, she was on a dual carriageway & the car was not very responsive, she looked down & realised the handbrake was still on.0 -

Its really the shoulders bit that's the worst, but that is smaller and squashed.
Its beautiful, beautiful, beautiful to be there, and in a way....though all life is special....more so than the niece or puppies etc I've been there for, because horses are so vulnerable at the time, in a way they are not usually, and its a priviledge for us when a mare trusts and wants us there, and isn't overly secretive. There are a lot of mares/foals to feel sorry for, but Lottie and bub really don;t look like they are those at all....happy as can be it looks like. 0
