Oops. Can't remember how to link nicely, so this will have to do.

mmzz Apologies, but I missed your title suggestion and grabbed your idea from the end of thread 8 instead.

Been did you fall for the new cricket bat plea? DD did get a new racket yesterday, but she broke her strings on Tuesday and has a match next Saturday, so there was method in her madness.

I inadvertently quoted "Theirs is not to reason why..." whilst discussing the result on the way back to the car & received a detailed analysis of Tennyson in return. Luckily she donned her headphones a few minutes later and usual (non communicative) service was resumed.

Physics to help him to recover from the horror of having to interpret poetry

Looking up Feynman Lectures now. Physics for fun?

Sost sorry to see you've been feeling poorly. I do hope you're feeling better soon. I'm going to pimp up the Gin I usually send you with two cherries and a sprinkling of dried rose petals, which were added to my drink at Twickenham earlier. It looked very pretty, but I spent most of the match trying to spit out pot pourri! On the bright side, DD had a thoroughly nice day off without a flashcard or Eng Lit quote in sight.

Thank you for the new thread Stickerrocks

DS2 took the day off today. He started reading the Feynman Lectures, which he has been looking forward to.

Hope all the GCSE candidates and their parents/grandparents have a restful bank holiday weekend.

That works, Stickerrocks thanks.
