Morning,Well so far its dry here today, cold but dry my knee is giving me jip, I had to give in and take a painkiller this morning. Alain's fault he had me pulling trailers filled with straw and I slipped in the mud and twisted it!
The dog is better now, and touch wood house trained at the same time, poor thing had his nose in pooh so many times he daren't do it in the house again!
I said to Alain maybe now mother would like him and he made excuses for her not to have him! So it looks like I'm stuck with him! (The dog that is!)
Morning, same here, dry but cold.Not good about your knee. I will be taking a pain killer in a moment, headache already and not even started work yet. Typical Monday blues.

Oh I don't have the Monday blues but I will be glad when it's Friday, Alain is on holiday next week for 2 weeks, and Sophie the following week for 10 days, their autums break used to be 2 weeks until they cut down the school week to 4 days!
The pain killer I took is supposed to be strong - its numbed it slightly I can still feel it twinge every so often, need to take another and as long as I don't drive I'll be fine - I was hoping it would knock me out for a while, I didn't sleep well last night. I watched a film on the Holocaust based on a true story and it upset me, Hitler ordered the evacuation to Poland of 5000 Jews from Paris, men women and children all but 2 children survived, the rest were cremated. Some of the French policemen guarding them were as bad as the German soldiers.
I hate things like that, I will not even watch Schindler's list even though I absolutely love Liam Neeson.
Darkangel wrote: "I hate things like that, I will not even watch Schindler's list even though I absolutely love Liam Neeson."That made me cry too! I watched a television film a long time ago about the same thing, and at the end I was angry that the german soldiers were not tortured and killed the same way they had tortured the Jews. Their families should be ashamed of them.
I agree. I refuse to watch films like that.
Darkangel wrote: "I agree. I refuse to watch films like that."I should refuse to, I don't want Sophie to have to learn German either.
WIll she have to when the time comes or can she choose?
Darkangel wrote: "WIll she have to when the time comes or can she choose?"Not sure, she may have a choice between German and Latin or Breton, she's going to the private catholic school in town she won't be the only English child there here 3 friends are already there! I want her to have the opportunities I didn't and a better start in life.
That's a good thing. Does she know what she wants to do, later in life?
Darkangel wrote: "That's a good thing. Does she know what she wants to do, later in life?"She says she wants to be a vet but that is a long, hard slog, the training for vets is longer than a doctor! I changed my mind 3 times at her age and then did something totally different! I think that we will just have to wait and see how academic she really is when she's at big school - she's interested in computers like her big brother
Morning Trisha, how are things with you today?
Darkangel wrote: "Ah, so the world is her oyster."Yep, and don't forget that she will have at least four languages under her belt too! That in itself opens up all kinds of opportunities, she has to pick up her English to conversational level with me, she is fluent in French, hopefully Spanish and Italian though Japanese would be handy for her to learn too!

Morning Trisha! Hey I've seen you were talking about holocaust films, which one was it? I resently read the boy in the stripe pyjamas, it was ok; the film was better. I love history stuff, even if it's horrible. Sometimes I get obssesed and need to find out all about it. Like right now with the suffragettes.

Le Rafle with Jean Reno not sure of its translation without getting the dictionary out. I didn't sleep well because of it, the French were as bad as the Germans, putting the boot in and beating the jews, even pregnant women what made it worse was knowing it actually happened.

Good, my knee is hurting but that's nothing new, always does in damp weather.
Hey Eva, Sending over my Christmas Anthology stuff very shortly, just reading through it one last time.

Glad I'm not! Was your Christmas Anthology stuff the first pass edits? If so I think Emme will need to see them again.
No, it was the second., Not much to do, it was a few commas here and there etc.
Are you done with your outlines and character sketches and all for nanowrimo?

Darkangel wrote: "No, it was the second., Not much to do, it was a few commas here and there etc."Yes my second was answering queries and spelling differences in American English and English! I'm forwarding something to you to read.

Hey Rishika! I've kind of done my characte sketches and plot planning, i don't want to plan too much because it wil probably take another root.Have you guys read this on yahoo. Law suit against some of the publishers becuase the prices on some ebooks are more expensive than on paperback...
Not read that Eva, but oh dear - that is not good.

I would have taken myself off for a pampering day at a health spa!
MorningI slept better last night how's your head this morning? I am almost finished with the read through and editing of LTSC I need to finish it and save it before I start to chop and change it just in case it doesn't come out the way I planned! Which at the moment I am bouncing ideas around in my head. Anyone for a game of ping pong!
