I had a "Ruby" magnum  a couple of weeks ago, which I thought was rather odd tasting.     Far prefer the regular and at a pinch the almond.   I do try very hard not to make a noise whilst eating them though😂.   Is Jimbob a tabby?  I rather fancy a grey/silver tabby although I could do without the gifts.

Oh no - are we going to fight over Jimbob - I picture him as a lovely big Ginger Tom - hopefully louby will appear and tell us!

Getting old, thought my post had disappeared - just on the next page!

Oh no!  We're in '101". .... we may all disappear 😳

Off to take photo of Jimbob, sadly he is neither Grey Tabby or Ginger - but he has just walked in and stolen Holiday dogs lunch and treats!! (Dog couldn't care less as he's already eaten the cat food!😭

Is it just me?

The use of the word 'kids' by politicians and news presenters is really getting my goat (see what I did there!) 

Children and young people so much better

Oh- I am so glad you said that!! It's dreadful- I notice Boris Johnson using it a lot as well. Is t to make them appear trendy?

Storm Francis saw to our lunch trip yesterday!  My OH only happy to go out to pub gardens, but not eat/drinks inside.  I am out today for lunch with friend, but I expect we will be ok where we go, very large airy restaurant and extensive garden.

That was a 'rough ride' yesterday wasn't it 

Have a lovely time with your friends today

We haven't recovered any form of social life yet, but you know circumstances around Mr S and his health state make that difficult here, still enjoy hearing what others are up to though

oooh - just back from my setting - it is all getting real now....

I am part excited and part worried to death

I know the feeling 😳.....

I have been out eating every day this week so far, it is making me realise things are sort of a lot more normal and not so scary.  Really not getting on with the masks though. I've not really done shopping as such  M&S to collect something - it's a food store so very quiet in the small clothing bit, and baby shop, and the garden centre. I can't seem to focus/concentrate with mask on and I'm just in and out as quickly as possible.

I can only imagine how nervous folk are about going back .... I am going to go back into the office next week as September is so busy it will be easier being in FSF HQ but I can only do that as only be Louise and I in our office ..... will have to get a bell to wear so when I move around the building people can hear me coming and socially distance themselves 🤣

Are you having the full compliment of children back sunnyday?

Thanks for understanding Sue and I think a bell is a very good idea! 🤣

Yes, all due back in, but we are a very small group

Still hard work sorting out the logistics even for a small group.

I think it is a worry getting back out there with all the children and the families especially when you are aware you need to protect yourself and your own families.

Good luck with it all and of course you know a nice place to let of steam if necessary once you are back at the sharp pointy end!

absolutely hate the word "kid."

I was mentioned on Jimmy Young’s radio show back in the day, for phoning in to complain that the minister for children kept referring to children as ‘kids ‘. JY read out my letter and completely agreed with me that it says a lot about the care and love that we give our small people, that we can’t even refer to them as Children
