The Heinz Kruger Palace of (57) Varieties

[SupermassiveLBD]

Strangers are friends you just haven't met, yet. Even when they are baddies and drive science-fiction-y submarines, wearing a smart grey lounge suit.

DT fan? Why?

What wasn't you Massive? I am very confused. A lack of sleep I think.

Re DT, there is a rather cringey thread in Chat...

It wasn't me who drove everyone off the thread, earlier, I meant. Sorry I wasn't clear. I',m having withdrawal symptoms, still. after being on here so little, today.

Ahh, found it! I'm ashamed to say I clicked on the link . I'm saying nothing.

what have you been upto then Maud, sit here and tell me about your day.

A teensy weensy bit more, perhaps, Small...
Trouble is, nobody reckons on t'interweb and the inventiveness of naughty ladies.

Sorry I just called you Maud! Told you I was tired. Sit down Massive..

Just the right level I think, we have imagination for the rest.

Maud? I didn't see her.

Don't confuse me! I called you Maud.

Ah, that makes two of us that are not completely on the ball tonight, Small.

don't talk about balls..

Sorry. This is not the DT thread after all.

How did work go, then or shouldn't I ask? My day was pants,-- if Sir Guy will forgive the expression. Housework, cooking, bollocking by SBs teachers, you name it.

Mine was a rubbish stressful (for a number of reasons) and then ultimately unproductive day for which I am feeling very guilty.

Why are teachers having a pop?

I am so tired I think I may retire.

Cheeky answering back, that kind of thing, Small. Sorry your day was not so good either. Tomorrow is another day, as Scarlett O'Hara so wisely said

Don't sweat the small stuff, Small

Glad that wasn't a link back to DT

yes a new day for us all hope it's a better one for us both. Night night Massive.

Evening all!

Not much to report here...still plodding away with dd's dinosaur homework - soooo looking forward to another 10 weeks of it . Off to Natural History Museum in Saturday though which will be fun, and going to see Rio 3D on Sunday. What's everyone else up to?

Some of my colleagues will have found out this afternoon whether or not they still have jobs so not expecting tomorrow to be much fun, still H has a night out and I have a bottle of Chablis in the fridge!

Tried something new for dinner tonight based in Twigs suggestions. I knew butternut & sage risotto wouldn't cut it with his lordship, so did pasta with butternut, sage, & chorizo & olive ciabatta which went down well so that's 1 new thing to add to future menus.

Am loving all the pics. Will have to catch up with vids tomorrow night

Speaking of which - have you had your birthday yet Massive? We were supposed to be having a Academy knees up about now?

Sleep tight, Small! and sweet dreams.

Like this do you mean, Spiro? Oh, sorry my mistake, that wasn't knees.

That meal sounds great, I shall have to try that on Mr M though the SBs might find it too exotic for their taste. Everything but something and chips is too exotic for their taste.

that wasn't knees ROFL !

Worth a try on the food front Massive. I softened onion, red pepper & garlic in some olive oil, then added sliced chorizo & sage, then the roasted squash a large glass of white wine & half a tin of chopped tomatoes. It looked quite 'rustic' when it all came together but at least I managed not to burn it for a change!

::Totters in::

Did someone suggest a party?

Oh dear, Massive. Are the SuperBoys particularly naughty (I am imagining cheeky rather than delinquent) or do Island schools have unrealistic high expectations of boys' behaviour? Big celebration here is that Girl has moved up a group in swimming from not waving but drowning differently able to moderately able.

?

I wouldn't have a hope in hell of getting that down DD. It's taken nearly 7 years to get her to eat pasta with tinned tomatoes & grated cheese, which is weird considering she'll eat curry, sweet n sour, crispy duck, salami, marinated olives & all manner of honky cheeses !

Yum, my mouth is watering. Do you roast the squash in the oven first?

Well done Garden Girl! Does she enjoy swimming Maud?

DD has just moved up into the improvers group so is now in the big pool rather than the 'baby pool'. There are a couple of other classes going on alongside albeit all section off. She is not impressed.

We can't offer Girl a obviously. We need a [knickerbocker glory] emoticon. Well done!

Yes roasted first!

Try not to worry about your Superboys Massive - I think we ascertained the other night there are probably as many loopy teachers as there are cheeky kids!

H is watching Lee Evans at the mo...I must be missing something as I really don't understand why people find him funny.

On the subject of loopy teachers - dd's teacher (not 'her' teacher buttoned that takes them for a particular session regularly) - wouldn't let her go to the loo today because it was 'too near the end of the lesson'. Is it me or does that seem a rather hard line to take in Yr 1? Needless to say what the end result was
