Traceyjayne @Fleura I have often thought about working from home for myself….something always comes sling and changes those plans for me though. Can I be cheeky and ask what you do ?

Yes, even at my advanced age British people always use the collective name of ‘cutlery’ for knives, forks and spoons – eating utensils in general – while Americans use the term ‘flatware’. Naturally I was under the...

Fiacre Banks @Fleura The knife is for cutting with, the fork for stabbing with and the spoon is for scooping with - easy.

During the COVID pandemic, several local WhatsApp groups were set up in case neighbours needed any help. Of course nobody did then, but the group for our little road still exists and nowadays generally gets used for lost cats,...

DE @Fleura I agree... Even if I was very upset, I'd only be able to rant for a few minutes and I'd calm down again. Some of that sounded like stress she's created for herself. Nobody made her choose her profession or the friends she has... *shrug* I've had...
