Who's for a cold PG and a sing along? How about I am Sailing, by Rod Stewart? KJ might be persuaded to do some slightly out of date snacks and we could party all night long... In theory, obviously. |

I feel like a deflated balloon today
But that's what having a bottle of wine on a school night does to one ![]() Evening all. TFIF. That is all Oh, BG - if you're into tidying desks, I have one here that you're welcome to have a go at. I've been supervising the plumber all day (new hot water cylinder now safely installed, hurrah!) and mysteriously, my desk is still virtually invisible, despite my best intentions ... |

Rumour has it that there is a desk in YoungPlum's room, but as yet there have been no sightings so it is somewhat LochNessMonsteresque.

Doctor Who on 23rd should now be on your 7 day Freeview EPG, so don't forget to set your video recorders, especially if you're going out.
Borgen Series 3 starts tonight on BBC4 too. |

Just found this, if anybody is interested.
SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENTARY: Horizon Special On: BBC 2 East (2) Date: Saturday 23rd November 2013 (starting in 7 days) Time: 21:15 to 22:15 (1 hour long) A one-off alert is set for Saturday 23rd November 2013, 15 minutes before 21:15 Comet of the Century Comet ISON could well be the brightest and most spectacular comet for a generation. It should appear above the eastern horizon from December 2013 as a glorious streak across the sky. ISON has been travelling towards the sun for ten thousand years and will make only one orbit through its corona before disappearing off into the outer solar system. But as well as providing a great spectacle, ISON's tail of vapourised gas and water, hundreds of millions of kilometres long, will give insights into some of the greatest mysteries of science; it will help explain the origins of the solar system, whether earth's water was delivered on comets and even whether we are alone in the universe. (Stereo, Widescreen, Subtitles) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Marked By: 'Reminder: Horizon Special' and 'Favourite: Horizon Special' markers Keywords: Documentary, Science, Scientific, Stereo, Widescreen, Subtitles ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Excerpt taken from DigiGuide - the world's best TV guide available from http://www.getdigiguide.tv/?p=1&r=45488 Copyright (c) GipsyMedia Limited. |

You wouldn't want me anywhere near your desk. My one is now clear... but surrounded by piles of paperwork stacked on the floor.
I'm going to consider what my next step should be over a cup of tea and a crumpet. ![]() I've just been out for the evening, a group of about 15 or so ladies from my work all met up at a colleagues house. A very pleasant evening, would be nicer if I'd been able to drink but with YoungPlum there and a drive home it wasn't on the cards. I'm so responsible, it hurts

Oh, poor snowy and poor snowy MumandDad
![]() It's horrible to be so far from people when you want to be nearby. I hope the care packagae is a good one, and I really hope it helps your Mum. At least the GP sounds as if he/she is on the ball. ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((massivehug))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) KJ - As if we weren't going to programme *that* one in! ![]() Haven't seen any of Borgen yet but I'm sure we will eventually jra - I love comets! ![]() So thanks for that heads-up. More later... |

SnOWy, I'm really sorry to read about the situation with your parents. It's hard to watch parents go downhill, when you remember them as your rock in life, and then the roles gradually switch a bit. At least the docs/system are going to try to support your mum in keeping your dad at home, largely in her care but with practical/physical support. I really don't know what to say, but will keep you all in my thoughts/prayers.

I find women in general better at expressing their feelings than men.
Some of the posts I read on here I want to comment on, but I don't know what to say, other than things like 'I hope you get well soon', 'Sorry to hear about your situation', etc. etc., almost like reading and typing from a script. So, please bear with me, if I appear indifferent to these matters. It's not intentional. |

It wasn't even lost, I just wasn't seeing it. Shows how knackered I am.
