Re: Today I have .........

Beats squatting down in a nettle patch, and on jumping up screeching, to see a herd of inquisitive young cows coming to have a look.

I'll try anything once. Now, where to find a nettle patch in a field full of inquisitive young cows.?

Re: Today I have .........

... watched Death in Paradise whilst I woke up properly drinking tea and then a coffee, then had a bath and I'm now trying to ignore the dogs filthy looks that we still haven't gone out for a walk - but that wind outside looks pretty lethal to me and that's the trouble with dogs: limited intelligence.

But I know they'll win, forcing me to risk life and limb - selfish little devils

Re: Today I have .........

Today I finished up with the class, we all went went into a nearby pub for refreshments and to say our farewells in an neutral atmosphere, a great bunch of young people they are too, they all clubbed together and bought me a briar pipe and 50 grams of tobacco, bless them all.
Well that's finished until the next one sometime in September, but that will be back in Dublin city so no traveling or digs involved there. I'm back in my own nest now relaxing with a cigar and a glass of port, as the old saying goes "There's no fireside like your own fireside."

Hi Jem it's good to see you back in the fold. Sounds like they were a grand bunch of young people who respected you very much.

Thanks Mags and Pats, yes I couldn't praise those young people enough, a pleasure to be with, God knows the young get enough bad press as it is.

Hi Jem nice to see you back after what has clearly been a successful week for you.
Enjoy your port....
