Things I do

One of the things I do, when I supposed to be working, is blog. Another is to sit with three or four Firefox tabs hitting next blog, just to see what there is. How annoying is it when people remove the header! If you're one of them -put it back! I won't read your blog, I'll just hit the back button. By the time I get to this, it's usually late or very late. Last night it was just late. Some of them are just distasteful, or gross, lots are in languages I have no understanding of (being mono-lingual). (that should be ... languages of which I have no understanding). Some are interesting and a very few get book marked. Last night I found this amarylis #3. Apparently, these amazing flowers can be forced to bloom twice a year. Very interesting to see the pictures and read the comments. Mine is on its last flower. The earlier pictures are here. Nearly time to cut off the stem, and feed them like mad.

A fatherly duty, and a pleasure, is to take the children out for 'top-up' driving experience prior to their driving tests. Mike (who you can see below as Luigi) has just failed his, and is therefore keener than usual to practice with his Dad. We have just come back from such a practice, and there will be another tomorrow, I expect. More likely, as the football pitch is waterlogged. He does very well, and I don't understand why he didn't pass. Only one thing to fix from my point of view. He really must look in the direction of travel, not at the good-looking girl going in the opposite direction.
