Weirdly, every single time I have been through golders green, even on the bus without getting off. I get a really nasty bite or a less bad series of them. I think it's some racist anti mixed marriage bug.

I've never met a woman with hairy noses, ears or feet!

Over the last lots of millions of years, we have been naturally selected to be attracted to those who are healthy and fertile. For men, this merely means looking as though you've got a decent chance of staying alive for the next 20 years or so, to increase the odds you'll provide for the kid until it's grown up. For us women, this means attempting to look as though we are somewhere in the age range 16-30, which gets increasingly difficult as the years go by.

Oh dear, I'd better make the most of the next few days!

Like that where we are - good school 50 yards away wouldn't take us regular church goers cos we were different flavour of same religion but would take entirely lapsed members of that religion. Similarly now DW and DKs are at the school church every weekend whereas the 'true' Catholics are rarely seen there.

Interesting. The church school that DD goes to (and DS did until he went up to secondary) takes any flavour of Christian as long as they're regular attenders. One of DD's friends got in on the basis of belong to a Quaker meeting house, for example.

Did your DW and DKs move to the school church because the DKs are at the school? It never occurred to me to do that, and it's never been suggested. The school church uses the school to send out invites to special services at harvest, Christmas and Easter, but these are aimed at those who don't usually go at all, rather than those who go elsewhere. There are plenty of parents who aren't church goers - the admissions criteria are (1) siblings, (2) regular church goers of any denomination and then (3) others in order of proximity, and there are places for (3) in all but the most extremely high birth rate years.

I love yellow. Opts such a happy colour. I haven't seen the custard yellow tie de jour......but chances are I might like it. Yellow tie and a pale Gary suit or yellow and navy .....like it lots.

I can't wear yellow at all, it makes my skin look washed out and my hair dirty, as it is a much more subdued colour than clothes-yellow (not surprisingly).

No quoting below, please, I'll delete before long - that's not me-aged-35, that's me-aged-31, but I've not changed much since then. Isaac's changed a lot more, oddly enough.

Nope, but he has had his presents ( most of them....I found two novelty items he will love that I am hanging on to for a bit)

One of the schools we used to play at at sports often had a yellow summer dress. It was lemon ish. It was amazing how it seemed to suit every single girl from the ice pale fair ones to the very dark ones. It was so much nicer than ours which actually complemented nobody nor was it jolly.
