Gooooooooooooood morning, Army

Another hell run into the office - shit (literally) thrown onto the roadway, tyres burnt... At least the police managed to keep one lane open so that the traffic could trickle through. I have a very uneasy feeling about South Africa in the months to come. Strikes and unrealistic demands from mineworkers have already seen the value of the currency drop to its lowest levels since 2009 Anyhoo... it's not in my power to effect any change.

Another busy day ahead, so it's a case of knuckling down and getting on with it, I guess.

Have a lekker Thursday, everyone!

Morning Tipperoooooooo :hallo: and everybody else snoozlebugging in sleepyville...

I gotta morning in a secondary school which i aint particularly looking forward to, which is a little bit odd considering i've considered teaching in one I'm sure it'll be fine...

Right, i've got the coffee brewing for those stirring awake. Tea on the go too. Please place your brekkie orders on the door with the post-it notes provided. Specialty today is pankcakes (drop scones) with thick bacon and gorgeous Canadian maple syrup.

PS - Inchy, I had the privilege of seeing Tom Waits play on his last international tour in 2008 when he popped into Edinburgh.

Awesome doesn't even come close to what that was like.

Morning tips arsey and all to come

Your journey and the general situation in SA both sound pretty grim tips. There's prolly little you can do about either, but make sure you do whatever you can to stay safe.

Good luck with secondary school this morning arsey. Sounds like a good opportunity to find out what it would be like?

Inchy...I was really pleased to read last night that you're going to visit a drop in place next week. I look forward to hearing how you get on with that.

Whizzy - it was great to read about your beating the 55 year olds - made me smile!

Pinky - are your exams over now? Reportage please!

Jackie - I'm very pleased for you that Mr JC is back home again.

Pingu - I hope you'll be back posting on the army thread again today.

Sweetie - I know these are tough times for you, but I hope that in time your sadness will ease. :l

Questie - good to see you in the barracks again last night.

Morning molly!

I managed to get a few hours kip, thanks. Not as many hours as I would have liked - I was up at 4:30am and went up the lane for my usual walk - but that's ok, I always knew that getting off the drink would involve a certain amount of sleep deprivation and I was/am prepared for that.

How was your night? Is it today that Jilly comes home?

Edit: Oh...and I second what you say about putting any hurts behind us. :goodjob:

Good morning to everyone

MrT - sounds horrible what is going on there, hope you and your family stay safe xx

Well our Arsey- You'll be well fit for them in the secondary school I reckon. Ta v much for brekkie, after I've had me quota of coffee i'll maybe try some of that syn-free bread n butter ye had on the go last night!! Here's a hug for ya :l

Reccie- thankyou for your thoughts xx It does mean so much. As I was saying to Molly, Granny's passing has kinda uncovered an unhealed wound for me with regards to dealing with my own Mum's passing, which I haven't really dealt with over the years. I've been very emotional since and Im having to learn to cope with the emotions rather than 'drown' them if ya know what I mean?
Im really happy to see you doing so well on the taper

Hey Molly :l What can I say other than you speak real sense. Bottom line yes we need to remember the priority is that we are here for recovery first and foremost. I feel very lucky to have you and your wisdom here to guide me so to speak. Thanks for the book ref will check it out on amazon. Its so exciting for ya that Jilly will be home in a few days

Hiya Marioman - Crap about yer tablet, ye have my empathy with regard to the slimeline fingers or lack of!! Tis a bloody nightmare trying to use the phone.

MrsA- have said it before but you really are inspiring, great job on winning another prize

Jackie- hope MrJC had a good night back home and that ye both are doing ok?

Hiya Inchy, Pings, Questy, Zens, Satzy and everyone

Good morning Tipperoo, Runners, Mollymoo,Reccybear,Marioooo, Sweetypea,Our Whizzy,

Sir Pee spent a comfortable night and managed to live up to his new name twice during the night.

Now then bit of a tale to tell. Took dog out for a bit of dogging yesterday and ermmmmmmmmm tripped over me own feet and her lead. Went flying. Put my hand out to save myself and managed to scrape my right leg and have buggered up my right wrist and elbow. Nowt broken but feel a complete tool...................again.

So between me and Sir Pee we've got 3 working legs and 3 working arms. So we'll manage.

Anyway anyone fancy walking me dawg?
