    Did he ask if you work out ?- I find this is the first question you get asked when you go into a car show room even when one look at me it is patently obvious that I don't 'work out' :)

    No. He did ask me what I thought about the house though :)
    Its about 20% overpriced.

    Thankyou so much :-)

    You're welcome. Someone started a thread on another board earlier tonight about making a donation to charity rather than giving a father's day present, and I thought it sounded a lovely idea. I wasn't going to give my dad anything anyway but never mind :D All the best to Daisy and the family.

    Just watching Britain's Secret Homes (ITV+1) and the penultimate property they showed was Cardiff Castle..- and one of the last shots in the piece was the monkey wallpaper, just like LIR posted a few posts back :)

    3rd Marquis of Bute's castle he built, I think they said he died in 1910 though, having never slept there. Had it on, wasn't watching at the time... spotted the monkey and it was over.

    I have a couple of maxi dresses in jersey from tescos. They are about the most useful things I own. I wear them in summer (wearing one now) with flip flops and sunglasses, or in winter with big jumpers and boots. And thermal underwear underneath.

    They stretch and shrink with me. They are comfy enough to nap in :o and casual.

    Sadly they are getting a bit past it now, one has a couple f holes :o so I schlep around home in it.

    My one and only evening dress is like that. It's not jersey - it's some kind of jacquard-type fabric, all one colour but with a pattern in the weave - but it has a bit of lycra in the mix, so while it looks fitted before I start eating, it's still comfortable at the end of the meal. It has also been fine on me as I have gone down two sizes and back up three since I bought it. :D

    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.     :)

    Any particular context?
    ...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'.

    Hey Lydia. How you doing?

    How kind of you to ask. I am much the same as two years ago, I think. Just all the usual mundane stuff. I am still dealing with most of the same sorts of happenings in life, except that my son is now causing concern with his dyslexia rather than his complicated bereavement issues, which is a lot easier to handle. This week it is report writing week at my school (deadline on Thursday) so I am trying to get ahead and not leave them until the last minute. Not sure I'll manage that, though.
