I never knew that, Pyxis! This could be why I am only finding water fountains for gardens! Thank you!

And a gratuitous one for Code, which I found by accident when looking for the others!

I'm borrowing that, since I also code for a living

I am at my meeting. No one else is. So I've checked my diary and have completely the wrong time. Not worth going and coming back though. On the positive side, at least I got the right day.

That's really interesting Pyxis! What about if they have a function, but it's something other than water? I'm thinking about the door knockers in laybrynth here! Would they have a different name again?

I guess they would be called door-knockers, Tea.

Ergo is one of my favourite words pyxis.

Did I mention I'm cold?

I once went to a special Sunday AmDram coaching day. Got up early, made a packed lunch, drove right across town.
All locked up. No-one there.
I was a week too early.

God knows how I made that mistake, as it was in my diary on the correct day!

My brain does weird things like that sometimes - wrong connection.

Luckily, no-one saw or ever knew!

Was a pain, as I had been feeling really tired, and could have done with staying in bed for once!

This morning I have been super organised:

Booked a hotel (b&b)
Booked flights
Booked airport parking

I'm going to Rome for a week next month . First holiday in almost two years, first holiday longer than three nights in a decade.

For some reason that response has made me howl with laughter! :rotfl:

P cat keeps trying to eat the wire from my mouse, and putting his fat backside on the keyboard. I've probably sent some odd emails today! But then he nuzzles his beautiful little head into the side of my neck and purrs and I can't possibly tell him off

ETA: well done ono! Let the holiday countdown begin
