Interesting what Facebook throws up,as memories. I had forgotten I posted this several years ago

Interesting trip to London yesterday when I met a school party heading to the Houses of Parliament. Speaking to a teacher there was a boy of about 12 who was very nervous. She explained it was his first time on a train. The rocking , rolling, creaking and rattling made him very anxious. As I followed them back to their seats and subsequently the shop he had to be persuaded it was safe to step across the strip between carriages. When I expressed surprise the teacher said “but what do you expect, they get taken everywhere by car!”. I have no doubt that child is probably a whiz with a computer but if it were not for his teachers would anyone be preparing him for life?
Thank goodness for teachers, their assistants and all who do things for our children by giving them the opportunities that would otherwise pass them by!

Step forward all those that teach in any capacity and take a round of applause!

They really do. Thought I was gonna be "swing and a miss" with the Google Shopping search. But wow - lots of options.

From basins that clip/clamp onto a deck railing to standalone ones like this - they are out there. I've heard of using a bubbling fountain type set up to keep the water from freezing. But that only works to a certain temp.

I would be worried they froze after coming out of it

We have the kids clean the lunchroom after they are done eating. We run 2-3 vacuums a day. Most of the teens that vacuum have to be shown how to use a vacuum down to moving things out of the way. Some have even entangle themselves in the cord before. It's crazy to see a teen who has never done that before. I take it for granted I guess because mine does it at home and she's not even a teen yet.

Up early and out at 4:30 this morning. Ran 12 miles today was 32 degrees. . Was hard starting but stretching helped, and warmed up quick. I hope everyone has a wonderful day in doing whatever they have to do, or choose to do...❤ (Or choose not to do!).

Wow! You are really dedicated, OM!

Lunch is Cumberland sausage and mash with onion gravy. That’s the long thick sausage for you sausage lovers by the way!

You said long thick sausage… heh heh.

This afternoon I will go blast a few clays then chill for the evening

I broke out my .22 and did some plinking this afternoon. I got the new scope dialed in pretty well I think.

Morning hun. It's fanta@tic here. 32 when I went out running. But low 70s and sunny today. 80 by Wednesday before it drops to 60s on Thursday and dry. So it's an Indian summer. I saw its warm down there. I hope things are getting better.

Simply gorgeous day!!

Wow! That’s a really cool color and pattern.

Good luck with those squirrels!! I’m wondering if they’ll be able to get into that one though…
