Easter

One of the silver linings about being ill and going part time is that I dont have to dedicate my weeknds and "holidays" to endless marking anymore, which was always such a stress at Easter when coursework has to be finalised .. my heart goes out to colleagues busy on that this week ..

The weather forecast is grim, even in France it is the same as here - I hope it DOESN'T acutally snow on our gite!

Meanwhile, here is a cheery pic of my n B, in Jean's house, with the Easter Chicks she gave us (which are obviously already eaten!)

I am assuming the bottle with gold paper on it is posh Londinium Bleach ....

Have a lovely holiday and if it snows turn the heating up and snuggle up with lovely french bread, cheese and le vin ....

Big hugs to you both Ruby n Roxy XX

PS Happy Easter to all readers

Funny, my Easter Chick must have gone free ranging.








You both look lovely here, btw. It's a keeper.

Hi, Hope your holiday is good. Well if the snow is too much for you I guess you can always stay in & watch it through the window. Also, the photos of snowy scenes are rather good.
Well just have a super time.

Love to you both. From. cousin Pauline. xx

You see a simple observation, the likes of which could have been made by any such observant person is instantly utilised as a comment to direct an unwarranted exclamation mark towards

used and abused exclamation marks!

does anybody know of a good support agency that I could access to aid me with the grief triggered by this exclamation mark attack.
I feel I may have EMPTSD

go on then, we all want to know --- what is EMPTSD?

holding back gingerly on the punctuaion incase it upsets my delicately balanced sister

(well I use balanced in the loosest possible sense)

also seems a bit odd using the word "delicate" in close proximity to the might Julie, as well

Exclamation Mark Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
A little understood and rarely - if ever - discussed condition.

I imagine it's the shame of admitting such a thing that keeps it under-discussed .. you poor thing .. (excesss E.M. deleted there)

Note I said 'restrain' rather than 'retrain' as I know that it will only be a matter of time (and not very long at that) before the excessive e.m.'s are back in force.

one of my students once said she'd never met a teacher who used E.Ms at all, never mind the effusion I sprinkle about --

it's taken as a sign of juvenility, I think

looking for signs of youth and making believe it's true are all very well - but lets be honest they fool nobody, Julie
