Morning Belle :-D <3 Von :-D <3 Joy :-D <3

Dull here :-0

My younger sis always wanted to visit Japan and got there in the end. She loved it. She tried to get her older child to study Japanese at uni (we have a Japanese school at our local uni here) but she was batting her head against a brick wall as her daughter did history!

Similar to my daughter and grandson. She wanted him to do maths and physics because in 4th form he topped the exam results. Our family (not me though) are mostly maths-heads, but he went his own way and started this year doing Politics and International Relations (similar to my own degree and I did have him every afternoon from the age of 2.5 years).

Gran’s influence, :-D

Morning Belle :-D <3 and Von :-D <3

Bright here but damp underfoot.

Had coffee with pals this morning then did a big shop at Sainsbs. Could not resist their chocolate traybake - but I slice and freeze it so I can use it whenever anyone comes or when I want a piece myself. I am pleased it does not come sliced because it means I can vary the portions myself. Left to my own devices, I would eat too much cos I like my grub.

Got a couple of minor jobs for son when he pops in after work today - light bulb replacements because he has told me not to climb stepladder myself.

Thinking of picking up my French again at one of the U3A groups so have fired off a message asking them to let me know which group would be best for me considering it is 20 years since I needed to use the language.

Von, did you enjoy your trip?

Von, Japan seems to be the 'in' place to go as I know of a number of people who have gone or are thinking of going.... everyone seems to be turning there back on the US, I can't think why :-0 ;-) :-D

I've always wanted to go to Japan but couldn't face the long flight:-0. Just wish I could do a 'beam me up Scotty' ;-) :-D
