Happy Wednesday Everyone! snow was expected for today but a few flurries fell and then it all turned to a misty rain. Thankfully it's above the freezing mark so doubtful it will freeze and turn to ice. It's funny how when you...

41Combedale @rebelann I have solved this problem by making a list. When I am really busy I mark it with the time in which each job has to be done. I tend to under estimate this so the next job has to make up for the lost time. No opportunity to be diverted after that....

A quote by 'Happy' made me think how interesting it might be to collect some of our quotes. I have a notebook in which I have saved one or two notable quotes over the years and I would like to start with one of mine: 'You...

41Combedale Good idea not to go to his home, he might be wanting to do some fishing of his own. I had an acquarium when I was a teenager but the goldfish kept jumping out of the aquarium. I don't think I knew how to look after them very well.

41Combedale The friends I know who have learned Greek as adults learned it when their children went to Greek schools and came home with the language - so in a way the children taught them!

41Combedale I am hoping to be able to read Greek, I can practice speaking it but Ilelarn more by seeing it written than by listening to shows,- the people speak too quickly for me to separate the words.

41Combedale I live in Greece but I don't have much connection with Greeks who can't speak English. I think t is a drag for them to try and speak to me if they are also older people. The young ones like to use the English they have learned at school so that is nice.

41Combedale The motorway near us was completely blocked by cars overwhelmed by the snow. People were being taken to hotels or just left to sit in their cars. Some for 12 hours. There was no way home for some in this area. Even the train couldn't get to us.

41Combedale I start the day with Wordle, my excuse is that it gets the little grey cells moving. I have to say however that it is simple to play and so far I have found the word in a short time. It isn't hard, but it feels good to get the secret word.
