I used to sing the Cloths of Heaven, I think - does it start, 'Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths...'? If it is, I learned it, many, many years ago, when I had singing lessons as a teenager. I do still remember at least part of it!
A MN Peloton wedding is really exciting news - perhaps we need a MN Peloton get together, to raise a glass to @Pannn and MrsPannn-to-be, once the question has been popped? I'm in Scotland, which might be a bit out of the way for most people, otherwise you'd be more than welcome to crash here.
"...sorry but don't have a health professional as a mother if you expect sympathy..."
@MrSlant - I used to be a nurse (but I'm all better now), and dh and the dses would completely agree with you - they get little or no sympathy at all! Dh has battled through any number of life-threatening colds with little more than the offer of a Lemsip, and a pat on the head with an incredibly sincere 'there there'!
@DramaAlpaca - dsis and dbil have not one, but two tandems - one for touring, and one for 'best'! The touring one can be laden with whatever they need when they do cycling holidays, but the one for 'best' does NOT get things strapped to it! They use that one for days out.
In our family, when the dses were teenagers, we had a formula for calculating how many bikes we needed - which was "one more". At one point we had 9.5 bikes in a house where 4 people actually rode. Apparently dsis and dbil have applied that to tandems, which I feel might be a little excessive. Mind you, they are a tad peculiar. They have all their books in alphabetical order - which I think is fine - but they have mixed fiction and non-fiction - which makes my brain itch!!
