I cannot sit in the sun, ok doing gardening or walking but if it is really hot I stay indoors.
My last blood test showed that I am lacking in vitamin D, Dr gave me chalky horse tablets to take , and told me to get the sun( when it comes out) for 30mins each day on my arms and face.

What I don't understand is I eat most of the foods that contain this vitamin, so it seems I can't win.

Vitamin D is far, far better absorbed by the skin from sunlight than through the digestive system

Not an impressed cookie today....James decided he would be a typical teenager and not come home until 3.30 this morning.

So there was me, expecting him home at his usual time on a Friday after babysitting at around 10 and by 3am, considering ringing the hospitals as his mobile was off, he had left his babysitting place 5 hours earlier and there was no sign of him.

He couldn't see what all the fuss was about because again, like a normal teenager, he thinks he is invincible and was bemused about my concern for his safety. In the end it turns out that on his way home, he met up with a friend (female) and spent hours talking on her garden wall (he has a habit of doing that...must have learnt from his mother!) and when he went to text me to say he was delayed, realised his phone had run out of charge.

Not easy reading the riot act at 3.30 am with the other two in bed but he got it with both barrels when he did eventually reach home.

That's so sweet. Although he may show a typical teenage lack of awareness of parental concern, if in hindsight all you have to worry about is his sitting on a garden wall that is fantastic news.

I know I don't know James, but everything I've read about him makes him sound absolutely lovely.

I know some one who set one up. Pretty sure it was a flop.

Do you think that those ghastly "ladies" running that finishing school would have the ladettes there if the school was a great success?

I know someone that teaches a secretarial course in one, something like "how to type without breaking your nails".

That's so funny. Here's my top tip for that: slice them off with some hefty toenail cutters before you start.

I think I have the title of my next (first) book and blog .... "A Week In the Job of My Online Friends". For this, I have to come and live with you all for a week and come to work with you .... then I write it up. If you don't work, I trudge behind you all week in my jim jams while you do the housework.

52 weeks.... 52 chapters....

Right - who is first?

I think if those ladies' careers had been a great success they'd have not been doing the programme.

The "headmistress" is a right odd one.

Sometimes businesses don't fail/change because they weren't successful, it's because somebody found something more successful. That's why there are so many bars here. If you have a shop space and you sell buckets and spades, you'd have to sell a LOT of buckets/spades to be able to out-perform the profits of selling beer to stag groups.... so bucket selling isn't a failure, beer just makes more money.

I'm in, although this may not work too well as they won't let any visitors into my work building whatsoever.

Thanks for all the offers of sons/cousins for my DD. I will have to check with my management before doing any match-making. What I can say is that, far from being freaked by it LIR, I would be honoured. Same with you, Silvercar.
