Friday

Patience and fortitude conquer all things.

Good Morning World...Fri 26th, 6.01, 17.6dg. Patience I have by the truck load, fortitude I have also by the truck load.. both of which are being sorely tested with all the hedge cutting I have, amongst other things. Yesterday was a day to play a little golf, lie in the sun, read a good book, swim a little at 32dg, this week end they are predicting highs up to 37dg.. bring on Sunday as I can't operate machinery on a Sunday... yayyy. Two trips up to the re-cycle plant yesterday one on foot the other by bike.. not sure which is the harder when both ways means I am pulling a huge garden sack of hedge cuttings for the dump. Walking takes longer. I have my conversation girls this morning, and there set task from last week will be interesting listening. Today I am going to ask them for an off the cuff description on a mystery word, this way they don't have the luxury of looking in their work books or dictionaries for words of expression, or indeed a week to prepare an answer. Mean, no, just keeping it interesting. My Poppet is starting the standing test.. from the back view looks hilarious, I imagine there will be much frustration and tumbling before she gets anywhere near completion. Back on the hedge cutter after the girls have left... bought a small 5 litre container of 50:1 fuel for the hedge cutter yesterday... 11 euros!!! Thank goodness I do not have a car. Shanks's Pony for me.
