I had to work from 9 AM to 8 PM today. That's a long day for an old fart. But a MyLotter I'm just getting to know suggested I try to view it as a heaven day instead of a hell day. I decided to become "planful," so this could be...

Fleur @vandana7 There's certainly a limit. If you're stuck in a traffic jam for instance, you can either get angry and frustrated (which certainly won't help the traffic to get moving, and might just make you more likely to get into an accident yourself as a...

Fleur I don't know for sure - because my knowledge of other languages is certainly not extensive - but I think it might be worse for English because it has so many words with meanings that are very similar, but not quite the same!

Fleur Oh yes those are terrible, and not just the translations either - thankfully I rarely watch TV but on the rare occasions I have seen the TV news the simultaneous subtitles produced some utter rubbish! I wonder how deaf viewers follow what is going on!

Fleur I didn't know that. I did know the fruits can be eaten, they are rather dry, a bit like tiny soft apples.

Some friends called round once, when I had washing on the line, and the husband called me a ‘sock fascist’ because I had pegged the socks out in pairs. Well as far as I can see socks are worn in pairs, so at some point they do...

Do you have one of these silicone spatula thingies? I recently acquired one and it’s very useful for scraping sticky things out of bowls. A while ago I was listening to a cookery programme on the radio and someone asked the...
