    Happy Birthday, Israel



    65 today! Well technically 65 years since the modern state, zillions of years since biblical times. Old enough for a pension!

    Ah, thanks. All I know about reading Hebrew is asking someone to do it for me!
    ...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'.

    My whole impression of the silvercar household has just suffered a paradigm shift ;)

    Maybe I should define "peverted" as something one would not want to be ;)

    Good Evening friends I have managed to get online using my OH's laptop and using a 'dongle as my computer is in storage at the moment because of our move last week.

    Well lots have happened since my last visit not only did we manage to have all our belongings collected and put into storage but we have found our next home, put in an offer and have been accepted so things are now in the hands of the Solicitors, so fingers crossed.

    The Bungalow is situated in Wiltshire and we are delighted.:)

    I will read back as far as I can soon to see what you have all been up to.

    Congratulations!

    Going back to the hair conversation I have had a recommendation for a local salon. I'm going to pop in tomorrow and see what I think of it. Meanwhile I am hair drying my hair. I.m telling myself its to keep warm and not go to bed with wet hair, but really its for the doctor and the hairdresser. I know its ridiculous to do LNE's hair for the hair dresser but I still do it. Though on this occasion it makes sense, I have no appoint,ent just want to have a look, and its better if they can see my hair looking ok rather than rubbish the first time at least so they know I know what I mean when I ask them to do thinks they think are wrong.

    Thank you your majesty.

    I hadn't quite realised the aristocracy was still so vibrant (long live the queen).

    (Bertie, if this queen has punitive taxes, what say you to a republic?)

    I wa just relaying these posts to dh and he would like to submit that on my post where I deleted its erotica because I recognised there is a time and a place (even when the inapprociacy is the erotic element). Not recognising it and self censoring would have been a perversion.

    It sounded kinda clever when he said it, I have translated badly and missed an element.:(

    These lawyers .....
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    No extra taxes, we are also affiliated to very, very, very south west Herts, aka the British Virgin Isles..

    I know its ridiculous to do LNE's hair for the hair dresser but I still do it.

    I am trying to work out what happened here. Did you mean to type "one's hair"? And have you referred to my late-nearly-ex in the past, teaching your autocorrect to capitalise LNE?

    Anyway, it gave me an amusing mental image. His hair (well, for the last 10 years of his life anyway) was very short - I used to do it with the clippers, and then he used to do it with them himself. So there really wouldn't have been anything much anyone could have done with his hair for the hair dresser, even if he'd gone to one, which he didn't. ;)

    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.
