Ha!

Just googled it, never occurred to me to do that before. Finest Milton Keynes (Milton Kenzien?) honey. He's like 500m from my house! Probably even part funded by my Lavender :obscene-birdiedoublered:

It’s a real case of 50/50 as to which thread this goes in! But I’ll go with positive!!

Got the results of a French test today. Bloody wish I’d done it back at the end of April when my reading and writing was much better. Haven’t read or written much in French for two months :roll: :roll:

BUT. For spoken French I got a B2 which is freaking bloody awesome.

The reason I nearly put it in the other thread is because I’m proper peeved cos I think that, had i not had a two month gap in reading and writing, I’d have got a sound B2 all round. As it is, that half o f the test was low so my official ’grade’ is a B1+.

But still. Not bad at all for a dyspraxic with some dyslexia :bblonde:

Had 2 big things happen today
One financial and other to ease my anxiety, a lot.

Walked in bar and saw a pal smiling as much as me.

He said "I'm winning at life "

I walked out thinking the same thing

A new looky looky man has appeared in town.
6'5" and black as the ace of spades.

More bling than most and got the usual patter.

The couple near us asked where he was from.

Barnsley. They laughed as they're Blackpool.
I asked, really?

Yup, he came out with proper Barnsley accent and the patter :D

No idea how or why, but I'll find out :D

Seeing the Gremlinette off out the front door for her first 'girls holiday' to Cyprus. Having told me several times she didn't need a hand with packing her case, nor advice of time to leave for the airport, or that she didn't need to be a bit more organised or make a list of things to take as she was a 'strong, independent woman', it was actually quite gratifying when, as she gave me a hug goodbye by the car, I asked her if she had her passport, to which she simply replied, 'Oooh, shit' before dashing inside.

'It's on the desk in the study' I said with no hint of smugness as she rushed past me.

The missus is having an early night so I'm having a couple at a trendy bar close by.

One of the waiters is a he/she/they and looked a bit strange.

Then I realised.

They woke up this morning and thought i want to go out looking like this.

And that's good. Everyone should be able to do what they want, if it's legal

what's an ode poem example

Got a couple of original paintings from a local artist called Robin Mullen yesterday.

They make me feel very happy when I look at them on my walls.
