Neither are going anywhere, the school is getting some of the blame due to poor organisation, a number of parents are complaining to education authority. School is now closed until January. My wife was meant to be on jury duty this week & next, rather than go in to court she had to wait at home, they would message her by 4.30 the day before to say whether she was required, this afternoon got a message to say she was discharged from duty. Relief all round as she wasn’t looking forward to sitting in a court in this current climate. I'm pleased your daughter in law is feeling a lot better. It was about 6 days after my first covid19 symptoms when I lost my sense of taste for about 3 days. Even now almost 6 weeks since my first symptoms my sense of taste is only about 70% and some things don't taste right or my sense of taste comes and goes. My sense of smell was okay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Presto2 Posted December 16, 2020 #10653 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hi everyone from a miserable, wet, cold and windy Stoke on Trent. Had a walk around the school site this morning and my visor and umbrella got stuck in my hair. I looked like I'd had an electric shock by the time I'd retreated indoors! Not a flattering look at all !!!! 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tring Posted December 16, 2020 #10659 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Had an email from my niece in Montreal earlier today, seems they have had another strict total lockdown announced until 11th January - starts Christmas day! So they can all spend on buying things then isolation for two and a half weeks to "celebrate" Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few posts have turned my thoughts to themed cruises. A 70’s cruise would seem to be popular but it seems as though P&O aren’t keen for some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speak for yourself, the theatre is always full for an old time 60s or 70s turn, or even a good quality tribute act. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that for one or two concerts, but for a whole cruise? We can't just continue to live in the past. Even the Sex Pistols are old hat these days. Mind you, if The Boss was on a cruise, I'd book now, even if if we only went to Canvey Island. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s a question, the answer is - even if there had been subtitles in those days, they would have been unnecessary. I was fully bilingual at the age of 5 as are most children from Welsh speaking homes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted December 17, 2020 #10672 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Hello all, nothing much happening here in sunny Kent. Washing machine repair man should be here tomorrow, really hope he can repair it on the day. My laundry basket is getting rather full! I did dump a bag of washing on my mums doorstep the other day, bless her. She said I could give her more but I didn’t like to. Have a good day all.

indiana123 Posted December 17, 2020 #10675 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) I'm not sure if I have already posted the following.. if I have then sincere apologies 🙃 OH has admitted he often doesn't listen properly... his excuse is that I chat and moan to my computer so he thinks I am talking to that and not him. Anyway had a conversation for him to get some Christmas crackers. I said just cheapo ones, less than a fiver, there's only us. He came home proud.. they only cost £1.40. I am now the proud owner of yet another packet of Jacobs Cream Crackers!!!🤣 This picture made me laugh... and yes please!!!!!!!
