AnnieP Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Today I drove a round trip of 5 and a half hours, navigating the M4, M25 and A1 (twice: there and back), in torrential rain, hail, snow and thunder storms to return the Mother In Law home. Well worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I have had a great day. I went to collect three new chickens and am now the proud owner of a french copper black maran (more copper than black!!)and two silver-pencilled wyandotte bantams. They are all adorable and now making friends with Coco, our gingernut ranger who has been on her own since her friend Poppy died a couple of weeks ago. The introductions went much better than I expected (imagine phew! emoticon) so fingers crossed for a happy day for them tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 and registered for an OU course . Ooh, what are you going to be studying? I have studied with the OU before and did quite well, BUT it was too close to my day job for it to really hold my interest. So this time I am starting from scratch with something completely different; Humanities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Yes, it can be much more rewarding to study something that really holds your interest. That should be very enjoyable for you. I did a couple of Psychology courses with the OU BC (before children!). Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 What a lovely family day out Just to be really nosy - how large did Carl make his beer mugs? Not big enough he says! It was 'Pottery without a wheel' so it's not too easy to make bigger items - it (yes, just an 'it') will hold about half a pint. No problem really as he will just sit nearer the barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I'm surprised he bothered with a mug at all - just the syphon tube with it's tap should be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motherhen Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hopefully introducing 3 to 1 should be pretty straightforward - hope it is all going well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 and registered for an OU course . Hope you are better at home studying than I am! I'm s..l..o..w..l..y.. working my way through my course, at about a third of the speed I had anticipated. Really must spend more time studying and less time on the forum!
