I feel like a grumpa and a rant. Sorry, I know it's late, but you lot are going to get it anyway. I have sweated BLOOD trying to get the students I teach to maintain a reasonable level of commitment to their work over the last 6 or so months. Have they? Have they billio. Now, with a mere three wekks to go before they have to hand their work in, they are battering my door down, demanding attention and entirely unreasonable amounts of last-minute help. I spent the last two days dealing with this, in unscheduled time. And, believe me, it will continue for the nest few weeks! Grrr! Aaaaargh! Young people! T'was ever thus?  |

This is a good grunt, martle. I hear it for 30 years (counting TAship). I suggest we kill them all. What was that movie where they did not like children that head a funny song in it.
I have a rant and not a grunt on a topic of naivety. I have been to town today giving friend a lift. While waiting for him I was in a shop where the lady alsmost sold me insomniac candle holder made out of salt she said. It was very heavy. While I was considering if it was a good investment (thinking that perhaps it would be useful) he came back. After hearing the pitch and looking at an item he said: It is good for insomniacs if you will hit them over the head with it. This would put stop for the insomnia for a while.
But I was amazed about my own stupidity.

Ok, a grump.... I bought some specs about December and I decided to get those that you can't really break, they bend, and roll around and spring back to the original position and they look quite nice and they don't break ..............
Guess what happened today..... they broke... and the optician is shut on wednesday.
It did cause some laughter though as my feller asked for some selotape which help them nearly together (they broke across the nose bridge) for a few minutes before going crazily cock-eyed and eventually becoming 2 monocles!!!

Today I've been wondering "Why does Joe Public look such a mess?" All those acres of magazine articles and hours of television features with advice on looking good, fashion, hair,make up, fitness, diet etc., and when I look around me this is what I see:  All those shops selling beautiful things, all that gorgeous fabric... Where does it all go? It seems such a waste. (Needless to say I'm looking completely gorgeous today in my new Hospice charity shop floaty Spring skirt! £5) x Grumpyyetbeautifuloldjan x |

 Caution: Grumpy Rant Follows Being on the downward slope of a depressive cycle doesn't help the fact that the kids plugged in a new phone downstairs without telling anybody. Everything was fine until their cat knocked the phone off its shelf, and off its cradle. I spent the next three hours trying to figure out why the line was " in use" before invading their "private" space downstairs. Had I not done so, I would have been unable to receive their call for pickup after school. Having done so, I fully expect to be asked why I invaded their space and unplugged their phoneAll this after picking up kitchen utensils from the front yard. These are two 18-year-olds!

Oh, how I agree! One bit of fine weather and you see the most amazing sights round here. The casual styles imported from America - t-shirts etc, over-tight trousers on either sex - do nothing for the lumpy figures, and people don't seem to care. At least in winter they are covered up. I think people just sit watching television programmes on what they should do, while eating  . (Not that I'm perfect, of course, but I do know which bits not to show, I think.) |

To continue my rant of yesterday, I am sure you are all so interested, anyway.... I went to the opticians, which were at last open, to ask them to repair the broken unbreakable glasses - only to be told it would take probably about 4 weeks as the shop had now been taken over by someone else. So, I shall be without proper glasses for a month Has anyone got a white stick? ( I asked the optician this but they just laughed.... ) A |
