I've found that a slightly damp dish towel or large rag that's dish towel size is a very, very effective thing to kill random wasps flying out of a nest that's being attacked. The dampness allows for accurate hits and it's very easy to tuck into a back pocket while both hands are occupied.

Also allows for picking up of possibly dangerous things without using bare hands.

In last resort, it can be used to flail around one's head to prevent face or ear attacks by the wasps.

I usually just scream in a high pitched voice and wait for Laura to save me.

??? I thought snow was what Norway actually "did", and the fine weather I experienced was simply because I was there.

;)

Messing with my groove now? That was over 9 years ago ... :(

Cyclone passed overnight, nothing too bad, some damage.

Cyclone season here is late September to November though we did get one in August this year.

Apparently, I'm the Department of Problem Solving for all of my mother's friends.

Also, we're having people from back home visiting us and my mother's just discovered she cannot deal with people staying over for more than two days. I'd be amused if that didn't mean I have to take care of stuff and if I hadn't inherited this dislike for too much business in my living space. Fun all around.

Double post: too many people in the house, it's gone to my stomach and I can't eat anything without it coming back up. As much as I love those people, I can't wait until they go elsewhere for the weekend. Ugh.

Oh god. We are applying for schools for my son to start next September. It's awful - basically I want him to go to the school 5 minutes down the road from where we live. It's an average school; not bad but not amazing. I mainly want him to go there for logistical reasons and because it's an alright school. There are better ones in the area but they will be a pain to get to each morning and chances are we won't get a place anyway as we have this school closer. If you ask advice from people it is just a minefield depending on their social class and political persuasion! Can someone with kids in primary school in the UK just tell me it will be ok, please?!

As I said, I like those people, they basically raised me as much as my mother did as they had two sons my age and we could all be bundled off to the kindergarten together. And I haven't seen them in a looong time. But having guests brings in OTHER people as well, who also want to see them and now our place is the home base everything happens at and nobody gets how I'm not a social person and how all the noise is making my nerves scream. Also, the kitchen is MY domain! I can't stand anyone weaseling in there trying to find stuff and asking me at the same time while I'm trying to make dinner. Maybe it's easier to deal with if one is used to a "big family" kind of situation but my family is very small even when taking into consideration that most of it is in another country and we're all born loners.

Mezla I’m not in the uk but I feel your pain. No matter what choice you go with, if you’re anything like me you will still beat yourself up about maybe making the wrong choice for the wrong reasons. Just remember that the educational culture at home is a huge part of their success, even if it isn’t the best school you will make sure kiddo does well.

It will be fine! We sent ours to the village school; it's a 5 minute walk. It's a bit of a churchy school, but it's a nice size and the teachers seem keen and they enjoy going there. A few parents move their kids from school to school if they don't think they're doing well, or if they don't get on with the teachers, but at their age? I can't see that there would be a lot of difference. They all have the same curriculum.
There's a busier, slightly bigger school across town a bit where some have moved to, but it seems to be more of a problem with the parents - they give their kids a couple of years, and if the school says they're not doing as well as the parents think they should, they blame the school and take them out.

Have a look, go and see what you think, and make your mind up. Being near is a HUGE bonus when you've got work and it's raining and you've got stuff to get ready; or there's after school clubs, parents evenings, or even if they leave their reading book or lunch at home and you want to drop it in when you find it.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.
