French diary warning.
Morning spent digging a rather large piece of ground. Only way to tackle it is an hour or two each day. OH has skirting board painting. Same rule applies. In the afternoon went to french class, today I was in a class with three Armenian women, who spoke Russian to each other throughout the class. Once I decided that I would go with the flow and learn Russian instead, I enjoyed myself ![]() ![]() For supper we ate the crab I brought from the fishing boats yesterday. Again made a fool of myself by asking which was the back of the queue and then going to the front by mistake amid sniggers from rest of queue. ( lucky escape as queuing for fish is a serious business and people have sharp elbows. Our neighbour is away for 3 weeks and has told us to pick her veggies. I collected a couple of kilo's of walnuts from the ground under her tree, but will keep most for her. I am a little friendsick, but otherwise settling Thanks for the thread company.

Clarty you are learning Russian ??? - it must be fate
![]() Fresh crab sounds lovely, even if it did involve queue confusion, you will be with the locals like a pro before long. I'm curious as to what you do with all the walnuts ? Apart from crack them and eat them that is. Thread company always around (although I can talk ! ) - keep the French diary flowing.

Brilliant again Seren! Love it!
Does anyone know what cinemas are showing 'last passenger'? I can't see it listed as coming soon in any of the chains I use?

Clartster! Love the French diary. I wish I had more time lately to give everything my full attention...boo.

It's going to be verrrry interesting to see often we go through a mental tick-list of Kartem Rumba moves. ![]() made me all emotional.I am going to try very hard to watch strictly all the way through this weekend, so I can get in the swim. I will be watching the rumba through my fingers though Nooney for reasons you alluded to. I hope your high speed world slows down soon. |

Evening Swoonies!
What a day!!! My Mum and youngest brother moved down from Gloucestershire to Somerset today. I drove up early this morning to pick them up. Saw the removal van off then said goodbye to Mum's friends and the lovely pub and set off. We had her two cats in the car who howled THE WHOLE WAY!!! 1.5 hours worth of howls! That was fun!!! We've done a fraction of the unpacking so far but at least they're down here in Somerset with me now! ![]() I wont need rocking tonight! :sleep::yawn::sleep: Nooney, here's hoping things calm down for you soon! (((hugs))) *Waves* to Clarty xx |

Hello everyone
![]() Every year when I come back to DS for SCD I'm amazed to see the Kartem thread still going strong. I had such a blast posting here when series 10 was on, and it's lovely to see you all still here

Hello again to the thread. Wow, the Kartemites still going strong after 3 years, if you are still Kartemites in the way it was. Great to see it's still here, that you're all still here. I haven't been on DS for quite a while - can't actually remember the last time, but it was after the mad, crazy and wonderful whirlwind which was Kara and Artem.
I remember that year so vividly; fun, fear, exuberance, exhilarating excitment... and faith and prayer... plus a humungous phone bill. I had the Kartem bug so badly it could be accurately described as an obsession. Every day on the thread, and lived on it every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with massive support from everyone else on the thread. I've been struck by Strictlyitis again but nothing could compare to that year. They were magic. I still watch their dances, yet somehow I don't have to because the memory of some of them is so strong. It really is great to see the thread has survived, and probably thrived since then, and also changed and grown, evolved. Good wishes to all, and I hope life has been treating you well. |

Continuing thanks for all the goodies and snippets. Hope things are calmer soon, Nooney. ![]() Another one for the collection, seren. You must have enough for a slim volume by now!Quote:

As it you Nina I can talk football. Out local team is Lorient. However OH is a wolves supporter in Angleterre and we think he has jinksed Lorient by attending their matches, they are now in the drop zone. ![]() ![]() But I'll bet your half-time refreshments are better than ours! Quote:
