The sun is shining, the snowdrops are out, it's bitterly cold and two months of 2023 have almost disappeared into the never-to-be-seen-again past!
Let's try to make the most of the remaining 10 months, starting today!
So, good morning everyone!
Having spilt a tin of drawing pins on the carpet, and dripping blood after stupidly trying to catch the tin with a handful of selected pins in one hand, I feel like swearing! But, I was brought up not to, by a mother, who finally learnt the freedom of being able to swear like a trooper, well before her 98th birthday!
But I'm still at the "for Pete's sake!", "for crying out loud!", "sugar!", "Scheibenkleister!" stage when I need to let off steam. But, being rather self-controlled, I usually just keep my mouth closed and grit my teeth.
Do you swear - or do you use veiled swearwords instead? Let's hear them, even if they are in a foreign language!
By the way, "Scheibenkleister" - if it were an article to buy, would be disc paste or glass glue! Evidently there is a record shop with this name!
