I loved my time there Actually...it was Margie who said it. I've just quoted Lizzie quoting Margie! There's a psychologist in the USA who has conducted a survey into people who dream of being back at school long after they left. Apparently, it's one of the top five most common dreams people experience. He discovered that they all rated these dreams as unpleasant and asked them to grade how unpleasant on a scale of 0 to 5 (where 0 is mildly unpleasant and 5 would equate to a nightmare). A few people rated their school dreams 1 or 2 but the vast majority rated them 4 or 5. So, Margie, you're bucking the trend there. I sometimes dream about Berridge and those dreams are always pleasant, even though I didn't enjoy my early years there. I did go back in 1983 to visit the school on its centenary and would love to go again...but not The Manning! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Waiting for the hurricane to show up. I brought my Tomato plants into the sunroom to avoid any high winds. So far its just cloudy and a bit drizzly. It's expected to hit Panama beach in early afternoon. Expected to arrive here overnight with lots of rain and wind tomorrow. Temperatures expected to be much cooler afterwards. We won't mind that, assuming we still have a roof. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I had the banner and colour change early this morning. The background colour was a lot lighter, but I had to switch off for a few hours and now it's back to the usual format? Just remembered, it was about 6.30am this morning when I had the changes. Mick2Me was on line, so perhaps he was having a twiddle with the format. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
