Hiya Marioman

Hi/bye Inchy & Expattie

I'm also doing homework in between all the other stuff. Eldest cub is learning abou the Anglo Boer War. Just because I'm of Boer descent and my great-grandparents were sent to a concentration camp and POW camp respectively, Mrs. T told him that "daddy knows all about that." Feck. I don't. I'm afraid I'm a bit hazy when it comes to that part of my heritage.

We are clean but cluttered.
Off to "do homework".

Mrs. T has trained me well.

But the garage is an absolute mess - the only place where I can clutter in peace.

Eveninks my darlinks,

Most productive thing I've done today is start to pluck the grey hairs out me eyebrows then decided there were too many and I'd get me to a professional eyebrow plucker.

One of the things my grandfather (he was a little boy of about 5, and also in the concentration camp) taught me is that "the only good Englishman is a dead Englishman"

Oh, and I do remember about Lord Kitchener's scorched earth policy. The Brits burned entire farms, thereby trying to starve the population into submission.

Hiya JC :hallo:

Mrs. T plucks my wayward eyebrows for me - funny long ones, that aren't gray, but kinda transparently blonde. She's fecking gone and made me self-conscious about them. It never bothered me until she started staring at them intently.

Tipps... time to consult with Mrs Google for the homework.

Google mostly returns results that look at the war objectively, We can't have that, now can we?
