Susan part 4
Sue’s school had organised a trip to Italy
It was expensive, and she had a hard time getting her dad to cough up the money.
Eventually he gave in and said “ If you use your initiative and raise half the money I will supply the other half” She sold his Mo-Ped

I'm cooking a lot lately.

I bought a rice cooker a year ago. I had a bag of rice sitting on my counter for the past 6 months. It's now darn near empty.

Charles Dickens letters to a troubled young woman

In one he offers her advice, writing: "The state of mind which you describe is not a wholesome one… the remedy for it, however, is easy… action, usefulness.
"Let me have the great gratification of believing, one day, that the correspondence you have opened with me, had done some good, and made a lighter and more cheerful heart than it found in you."

Let's see. Isolation not so bad. "Teaching" two classes later today, which will give me a better idea of how many students will persist. I fear few will.

I miss my kids and grandchildren.

Before we talk about Christine we must consider Johnny
One of the world’s great inebriates his two finest moments were; firstly attempting to
call bingo while completely sloshed ”Four and two — Seventeen “

Secondly when sharing a communal house he caused much giggles in two young women by wandering through their room with inadequately elasticised underwear, leaving his right testicle hanging out
Chrissy is much funnier

I think he has stories, but we're getting them a little at a time in condensed form.

We're all healthy and fairly sane. Having my folks here to help with the kids has been key.

john i hope you are teaching from a big distance and refuse to let anyone get close or are doing it from at home ( i think that is what you may have implied). if not you need to be arrested and forced quarantined for two months than re-evaluated for release.

To explain Chrissy
We were on a campsite and were approached by a group of children who needed to know where the play area was. Chrissy gave them direction in a kind and gentle way and then turned to us and deadpanned “I ****ing hate kids”
A few minutes later a solitary kid turned up and asked where his friends were. Chrissy again gave direction. Afterward she said “ I could have slapped his stupid face”

I'm doing my best to keep sane. I do walk outside once day to get food or something.

No one I know has it right now, but we all know that can change soon.

Especially college teachers, but don't let on. Some of my colleagues think we have it rough.

Oddly Chrissy 1 may not have been the greatest Chrissy I have met
Chrissy 2s catchphrase as a young woman was “ pass us the sink love “ when she had become nauseated after over indulging in alcohol. She went on to become a governor of one of the world’s most important cancer charities

Lots of cases in the US is how it's being reported by the BBC.

Keep safe everyone, and keep isolated as best you can!

My daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter just dropped off a cake my granddaughter made for me today. From a respectful distance. I told her I craved cake last night.

Quick bit of filth.
When we were working at the soup company Samantha came into the cabin.
We had just got lunch from the supermarket
“Moist Flapjack Samantha?”
“Yeah it’s a bit hot up there “
