So... How'd Your Day Go?

Today is another blistering cold day in northern Illinois.
No snow is good snow I say, but skiers would disagree.
At work by 6:30am and on the road by seven to pick
up students; these days, it’s vital to be on time.
All of our buses started this morning; with temps
this low, the machanics started the buses at five so
they’re warmed up and ready to go by the time the
drivers arrive. At the moment, hanging out with
several drivers half watching a movie made in
Iceland waiting for lunch time....pot stickers!

I am a skier. Too cold to ski. Within just 30 minutes skin will freeze today & tomorrow. I am inside. Staying, too.

Some you win, some... Both have the potential to be good stuff, it is the presentation that makes or breaks. Did you catch Pride and Prejudice on TV the other day, it sparkled and Ms Austen's humour had me cracking up. On the other hand I can imagine the presentation will look very dated in sixty years when it is as old as your R III.

Never mind, keep trying, got to hit a winner one day :)

yeah man i've ignored uk artists for so long...now and again i re-read a dickens novel and watch stuff like pride but never read a bronte...ye old england bores me rigid an i luv shakeys one liners...better to have love an lost an all that but can't even watch his stuff never mind reading it..i do like all the posh boys literature like orwell who enjoyed his poverty and waugh who wrote stuff i would have liked to lived in...deffo need to cut back on american and european culture and become brexit with uk culture.....

I think it is silly to restrict yourself by country of origin, quality is a much better filter. Do you read much non-fiction? I find it is more than half of my reading nowadays, History and science mainly.

mostly essays at the moment...just reading all of laurie lees works but while classed as non fiction the general thinking is a mix of both fiction and non fiction really...do like books on cravens or crows

Try 'The genius of birds', the writing is okay rather than wonderful, but the information ...

New Caledonian crows are supposed to be the brightest problem solvers in the bird world, but ravens are up there as well.

I hate whiners, so I shan't be one.

For the new year, i took everyone off my ignore list--not that there were many there.

even miserable gits need a second chance......whining is in British DNA

LOL. It takes much for me to "ghost" someone, but once done, I'm done. I've only put one person on it here. Best for us both, though she doesn't seem to know it, as she keeps popping up responding to my comments. I don't, of course, know what she says. I am liberated from that.
