Good. Hope things are beginning to calm down for you. How is she doing? (Don't answer if you'd rather not.)
DD is 10 today. It has gone reasonably well, and I am trying to get her to focus on all the good stuff rather than the few things that weren't quite as she wanted them. Attaching so much importance to an ideal concept of a birthday is a sure route to disappointment.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.

On any other thread, I would have taken this bait.
But this is the NP thread, so I'll leave it there.0 -

I am not at home, I'm away .... sat and watched the gig championships today, thank god it was only the final (so dull). There's some untold story there as the champs withdrew (which means they turned up and left....) and the local team won (unheard of). Blimey it was hot. Had a pasty.0

The logs we had delivered yesterday have not been stacked.
They are still in a heap outside of the door. OH decided he would build the wood shed first any way, drilled into his thumb with a broken drill bit, and he fell down stairs whilst carrying a load of dirty washing. There is the small matter of the smouldering muck heap which the fireman said will take acouple of weeks to burn out.
OH is off somewhere tomorrow. The shed has two walls and no roof, there is a tin bath with water in up by the smoking heap and as I said the logs are still in a heap so if there are any NP at a loose end...

An old fave mixed with a current fave and done really well, vids don't come much better than that.
DH liked it a lot too. Though now he wants a see through Strat to add to the one he's already got and the Les Paul. He hasn't even learned to play yet (more money than sense)...
Glad you like it!:dance:In other news, we are back home. She is safe and secure.

I used to feel like that. Once I became Dr, I used it at work but not anywhere else. (Teachers, of course, are still called by their title and surname all day every day, unlike people in most grown-up jobs.)
In my previous job, we were all Mr Jones and Mrs Smith, which is quite unusual in the college sector, but utterly routine in the school sector. It meant we had to learn two sets of names but was worth it.
I've a lot of respect for some Quaker friends who don't use honorifics and always gently correct everybody with "I'm not Mr Smith simply John Smith, with no title"
