THE NEXT DAY THREAD - NOVEMBER

Hello everybody!!

enjoyed reading last night's posts! Ficks ... my heart goes out to you with your boy. I dont do advice, but I do believe a lot in the lasting power of love. One of my favourite nephews was completely scary when he was that age ..... lot of drugs and into a slightly Nazi crowd. My sister just hung on in there with him when everyone else had given up on him. Today, he has a wonderful partner and two very lovely kids .... and he is a great dad who went back to school (after having dropped out at 16) in order to be able to get a trade and to be able to get a decent job.

I'm having another mental health day today. After a great day on Saturday, my brother woke up yesterday feeling terrific. So I went down for my normal Sunday swim along with my niece ..... who was really needing a bit of time out. In our absence, my mother, in her wisdom, decided that what my brother really needed was some exercise (she comes from the "buck up and pull your socks up" school of medicine) so she bullied him into a walk, which she wasn't well enough to do herself. The result was disastrous and thank god my brother had his cell phone with him. I am SOOOOOOOO angry at Mum. Anyway, bro just wasn't well enough to travel home last night, although much better today, and I have just re-booked him on an early afternoon flight. But I am at home concentrating on letting go all these seething feelings of resentment. Not having much success so far .....

the good news is that I can now do a relatively competent rendition of "Stairway to Heaven" on my ukulele!!! But I've got blisters on my fingers!!

B'Jesus. I've done it again. Stayed up half the night nitter nattering.
Starting to replace alcohol with chit chat. At least the chit chat won't kill me.
Well, begin my new course today, self paced and run in tandem with another course. Bring on assessment hell this week. HATE assignments and essays.
Did anyone get an invite to the Gordon/Edelstein affair ? Would you want to go anyway ?

Happy lunchtime

Gee Mame - I'm surprised your mum didn't suggest a spell in the army would do him the world of good ...

Angel - I'm sorry to say you did a fantastic job with Brynne's dress. Most tasteful. I was secretly hoping for a shocker ...

Bridge - are they plant-type courses?

I'm really liking the asides that are happening here. People learning new musical instruments, planting sunflowers, taking mental health days - all lovely stuff.

Catch youse later. (If I really spoke like that I'd slap myself upside the head)

Morning all,
I am very tired today after the tee-ball carnival yesturday, the kids played really well and they all had fun. I have got my boys off from school today as they are also very tired, so I am going to have a lazy day today.

Afternoon all....you're all rockin' it, each in our own little world and yet with this common thread...kinda like a share house but without the 'you haven't cleaned the bathroom in weeks' crap. Get up in the morn' - have a read (usually laughing) & post while I have my brekkie...then come back in the evening to see whats been happening. I like it...I feel like I belong...s'nice so thanks people.
OK, I need to know: Bridge - tell us about new course.
Ah mothers (bless 'em) - why are mother/daughter relationships so complicated I wonder. Mine used to drive me INSANE - couldn't bear it - MrCakes would practically set up a ring & get his whistle out when we were gonna be in the same room - now I figure she's old, she'll be gone one day, I'm never gonna change her mind so I disagree in silence!!
Anyway, raining here today - I love the rain.

Glad you liked it love...I had to do some work on myself, internal stuff y'know??...was suffering severe jealousy TBH (secret serious crush on Geoffy) It's just what he's done with his hair - makes him glow. But I became the bigger person and helped Brynnie put her best boob forward (it's her left one).

raining here too ... and I have calmed myself after the embuggerances! Having a quiet afternoon and just about to do a caesar salad for dinner with the fruits of my garden! (except for the chicken and the anchovies!)

Lots more that I would like to comment on, but it would take me hours! Just really grateful for you all sometimes ..... except that I dont get any of the celebrity weddings/occasions references!

Oh Mame - google Geoffrey Edelstein's wedding, just so you're in the loop.
Your salad sounds delicious & highly rewarding!!

Oh yes, can I relate to that! Silence is definitely golden, but I think I might simmer a bit too long.

Evening all!
Great going on the ukelele Mame. Less is more re the sore finger tip's, but just a little bit of regular playing, every day if you can, will slowly harden the finger tip's. If they're too sore, take a couple of day's off, then get back into it, 5, 10 mins, 20 mins, 30 mins a day, or as much as you feel comfortable doing. Regular (daily) playing is the key, but if you just enjoy tinkering around on it, then play it when you like. The Ukelele is a glorious instrument, and i bet you make it sing! It would also make a great sound crashing down on Peter Andre's scone, or on that other clown's head, the one who's been hanging around Britney.
Speaking of celebrities, I've just received a call from George Michael, wondering if i can organise Etihad stadium down here for a gig next year. WTF George?! Apparently it's double booked with the footy or something. Then i get a call from Geoffrey, asking how much amyl nitrate he should be using whilst lovemaking. BJesus!

Angel, can you clean the bathroom please? It IS your turn!

Go hard or go home!

Ah HA ! Ya gotta watch that .......
Doing a manag`-e -mente` course folks, thanks for asking. I've 'managed' anything that's nailed down so long I thought I should formalise it.
Hard day at the office honey (s) ?

Great day here thank's Bridgee. Et toi?
Yep, a piece of paper can make all the difference sometimes. You'd be an excellent manager. You've actually got compassion, and common sense. Two trait's that could either get you fired, or elevate you to great height's, depending on how switched on the org/co. is. I'm discovering there are a lot of duffa's out there, raking it in. It's funny. I look at all my years in a drunken, 'way out there' abyss, and i cannot beleive most of these 'straight, responsible' folk who make our world go round, and how totally NOT switched on they are. No wonder our govt's are getting away with murder in a lot of area's! (don't get me started! Hold me back Reg!)

Oh, by way of clarification. I've alway's known there were muppet's afoot out there in the big world, it's just that now, i'm actually working in it, in a 9-5 thing, i actually see a bit of it close up. I can't believe how slack some ppl are, and some attitudes to the job at hand. Maybe i'm old fashioned. But i know i'm not. Thankfully, i see some rooly good people doing great work too.
