In the days when I was chairman of a Nadfas society and it was down to me to give a vote of thanks, I used to latch on to names, facts and individual pictures to mention - it's my experience that remembering and linking a few facts gives the impression that you remember every word. One of today's slides that I certainly would have mentioned appreciatively was this one. The picture wasn't quite so full-on, but quite enough. Hmmmm.
It was a whole day event with three lectures, but I couldn't stay after lunch, as I had to get back to a funeral - not going to say more there, the circumstances were deeply upsetting but I'm an onlooker, not a sufferer. Then a meeting at the school, I came home tired and a bit drained and seem to have had a couple of glasses of wine without really noticing. At least the kilo of Montezuma chocolate that I ordered has turned up - although most of it is for Weeza (don't tell her) and I'm not opening it tonight anyway. I have, at any rate, been very appreciative of my dear kind Sage - not that I needed more kindness than usual, but others did.
Chocolate after all, perhaps? Maybe. Although, I also have a pineapple. Which to choose? I'm genuinely undecided. Possibly neither after all. Who knows?
Back to riotous good cheer tomorrow, darlings. You get me in every mood, lucky people. I appreciate your friendship, and thank you for it.
Chocolate v pineapple - I decided.
ReplyDeleteLove both choc. & pineapple so either would do for me, tho I find the choc. would be easier to open!
ReplyDeleteWhen you decide you will bounce back by the next day, you usually seem too. Do hope you feel better.BTW, I liked your hen story the other day. That has to be soothing.
The sun#s shining again, so you can watch hens all day whilst pretending to garden.
ReplyDeletePineapple it was, Marion.
ReplyDeleteI can't, Dave, I've got a couple of hours to spend on typing and then off to a meeting, then the rest of the day in Year 9 music.
Hmmm..I'd go with chocolate covered pineapple and then decide!
ReplyDeleteWas that Hmmmm *thoughtful* or Hmmmm *nice* ? .....just asking
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate is still packed in its box, I haven't opened it at all. i have the pleasure of anticipation - I ordered some varieties I can't get locally.
ReplyDeleteAppreciation, Sarah, for sure. Very nice indeed. Jacob Epstein's Adam was at the exhibition at the RA. More disconcerting in its extreme masculinity, frankly. I prefer the Faun.
