It's been neither hot, nor humid, here for over two weeks. It's been cool, overcast, wet and breezy.neverdespairgirl wrote: »If it's really hot and humid, though, don't you want to wash off stickiness and sweaty-ness?
Right now it's cool, overcast and breezy, but it hasn't rained since yesterday.0 -

Next place we were in after that was a very, very cold Siberian lake, part of the rift that makes up Lake Baikal in Russia. We swam in that and used our totally-eco-friendly soap, and it was lovely to be clean. OH did claim it had changed his gender, though.
Umm, why did you spend 2 weeks in the Gobi?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Not just in the Gobi, we spent 2.5 months in Mongolia, camping and taking photographs.

I think I have been clear on my love of ritualistic, meditative, soul restoring bathing.
Very, very much looking forward to the new bathroom being finished.
At that place where I linked the antler chandelier, we had 2 outdoor claw feet bathes, side by side, in front of which was a pit fire all underneath the redwoods.

But good new blood will alway be needed. Getting good grades and into 'good' universities is always going to be a real key.
Last week I interviewed for a temporary post( to draft policies) included 2 law graduates (from Russell group unies). Cannot remember exactly, but pretty sure at least one had 2:1. Both had work experience, both working currently, both saw role as 'using degree/working in a law related' job.0 -

Fabulous.

Lucky you two!0 -

I like Christmas - my mother sees it as a challenge worthy of her best culniary efforts, so no-one apart from her has to take responsibility for grand cooking, just be on hand to do the veggies / washing up as instructed. We don't usually watch TV at all, but do play lots of games, like chess, bridge, pictionary, that kind of thing....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'.0 -
Starting to get feed back from my little village thing now. The feed back is that the heathen done good. Can I do more again next year please.....0

Nice one, LIR. Perhaps you should offer to have a Halloween bash, with lots of naked dancing around campfires, to make the most of having a heathen in the parish?...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'.0
