Morning. It’s considerably cooler here but the storms aren’t due until lunchtime according to the BBC.
Hurrah for your curtains, Digs!
I hope Chunk is OK, Pip.

It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

Re: Parma Friday
Morning. Inset day here too. Sb2 is with his dad and the bloke and I have just arrived down south to bubble at his for the weekend. We might go to a beach but a deserted pebbly one to walk along, not Bournemouth or Brighton main beaches!
We popped to M&S to pick up and order and bought a meal deal for later.
I like Parma Violets.

That sounds nice Marth.
Chunk is fine thanks Rosy. Slightly shaken but not enough to stop thundering down the stairs trying to play Fortnite as he goes. Actually he’s breaking it up more & has built me a house in Minecraft.

Sorry, Pip, I missed this. Poor Chunk. He needs Thora's helmet.Pippedydeadeye wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 7:40 am Morning.
No storms here, it’s hot and sticky.
I’ve just been wrenched from a particularly convoluted & vivid dream by Chunk screaming as he fell down the stairs for the second time in three days. He’s fine after a cuddle, but I’m a bit overwrought now. I’ve brought a coffee back to bed.

I'd have thought you'd love cherry lips, you massive deviant. I bought P a selection box of Swizzels for our anniversary :grownup:
Morning. I'm glad Chunk is ok; definitely strap a colander to him.
I challenge Bert and TD to get their work done in 4 days so they can have Fridays off; it's working well so far, although Bert has her topic presentation to finish today. It's on Dia de lost Meurtos though, which fascinates her, so she's quite happy.Blondiejude wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 8:08 am More home schooling today, although we finish early fridays (my new rule)

Re: Parma Friday
Just rain here, but I also saw the sunrise
My 1st year (secondary school) French teacher used to give parma violets as a prize for his silly quizzes. No one wanted to win
Today I am doing yet more endless writing but a local restaurant is sending me some free food

Re: Parma Friday
It is not raining here yet but it has gone overcast with thunder expected later.
Free food nine! What are you getting?
I have a horrible work thing this afternoon, I have to write a job application for a job I don't want and have just heard from our solicitor that there may be more house delay so today can do one.

Re: Parma Friday
I hope it's good free food!
Morning, S last day of homeschooling, but he's been doing very little this week. He's on a teams video call with his teacher and some classmates and then we will head down to school just before lunch for a SD wave off as the HT is moving on.

Re: Parma Friday
Morning. Free food is the best!
I hope Chunk is ok.
I got the result of my college exam this morning and I passed so I'm very relieved.
Today will be spent hanging trellis in the garden and then something unhealthy for dinner.

Glad Chunk is ok.
School finished here on Wednesday, so all pretence of homeschooling has ended
My house is half-painted as it's chucking down again today
I'm on a Zoom writing group until 3ish, then will be going to M&S to pick up a clothes order, and probably buy some delicious food. The boys are going to J on Sunday, so I don't need a full shop.

Re: Parma Friday
I hope you have something nice planned for when the boys are away, smunder. Gro are doing takeaways...
I am going to be fun mum and get S to try on clothes to see what fits and what new uniform he needs
Well done, Jupes.

Well done Jupes!
The doctor phoned first thing, and she thinks I have a stomach ulcer or reflux so she's giving me a prescription for omeprazole so we'll see how that goes.

Morning!
I don't like Parma violets as far as I can remember but I do like free restaurant food.
Well done Jupiter!
Omeprazole made a massive difference to my reflux, sal, so I hope it's the same for you.
I'm sitting in a park in the shade with sleeping babies.

If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

Oh no, Sal; you poor thing. I wouldn't be surprised if the stress of the last couple of years has given you an ulcer! I hope the omeprazole helps.
I've just been signed off for another three weeks and am sagging with relief.

Today is a good news Friday for you, Lora!
(I mean obvs I'm not saying being too ill to work is fun and games but at least you don't have to worry about returning for the next three weeks).

Re: Parma Friday
Contrary to popular belief, stomach ulcers aren’t caused by stress, it’s from either a bacterial infection of weakening of the stomach lining by long term use of NSAIDs. Anyway, sorry you’re feeling crook sally. If it’s reflux you can hopefully work out your triggers and work out the best remedies for you. I have it myself and I tend to use double-strength ranitidine which is OTC, I usually buy the tubs of Kirkland branded (I.e. Costco) ones on eBay from US stock, as they don’t sell that formulation in the UK stores.

Glint, I'll mostly be trying to get some actual PhD work done after months of nonsense. I've bought all uniform for new term as they won't be home until just before it starts. Joe was not impressed at having to try on his full high school uniform yesterday
