Compo 10,328 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Had an interesting 90 minutes in an online discussion about mental health issues last night. Given that I'm almost 100% insane I enjoyed it very much and to top it off I earned £30 for taking part - which was nice 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,300 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 The early mornings and late evenings have been really enjoyable of late. Breakfasts outside at 6 am with the birds hopping about and no traffic noise in the background. Yesterday evening we had a cider club meeting in our garden. It started with us all getting fish and chips from the visiting F&C van and then sitting down to taste various ciders, a perry and finally the Calvados. A great evening. The meeting did have an agenda but it got lost. No one took minutes. The 'Chair' seemed to move around at random and no one can remember any decisions being made. We will just have to have another meeting................. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Mrs Compo used to be a senior social worker. She says that Social Workers have meetings to discuss having meetings. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,481 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Sounds about right Compo. Very little was ever sorted out in works meeting other than the date and time of the next meeting and organising the breakfast buttys. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,795 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 The same as teacher training days. When I used to deliver to schools it was just an excuse for teachers to catch up on gossip & watch DVDs in the staff room ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,109 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Good grief CF ! Never let a woman near anything remotely sharp. Mine cut through the cable of the hedge cutter on the very first day I bought it several years ago. Last year she slipped on the step ladder, and it gashed her arm ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Well the fireworks are over for another year. Dogs handled it pretty well this time. Poor old Mrs. L took some kind of a neck spasm though. She was in a lot of pain. I thought I was going to end up driving to the hospital. She decided to tough it out with some Tylenol. It brought back a lot of scary memories of the late Mrs. Loppy. I had never realized up until that time that a heart attack in a woman produces quite different symptoms. I was afraid we were having a repeat performance. She had been sitting at her sewing machine all afternoon and thought that might have caused it. who knows? Thankfully she seems to be on the mend now. She should be able to do some gardening soon. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
