Where is the blogroll?
Blogroll seems to have dissapeared this morning, I used my bookmarks which made me realise I've got a lot more sites to visit. Some of them I shall add so that I can share them.

Words of wisdom
For some time now rob has been having problems with a tooth. He’d been to the dentists a few times and thought it was sorted out. It started to hurt again on Wednesday so he took some strong pain killers before going to bed. By one o’clock he was desperate, so he went off to the emergency department of the hospital. (In France they don’t seem to have heard of emergency dental services.) The couldn’t give him any thing for the pain as he was up to the limit already. Not being dentists, the two doctors he saw said they thought that he had a wisdom tooth coming through. He’s nearly 44! Neither of us slept for the rest of the night.
He couldn’t see our dentist on Thursday as it’s his day off, the same with our doctor, he got an appointment with another doctor who prescribed different pain killers. Yesterday, (Friday) he finally saw our dentist who told him he has an abscess. So now he’s taking anti-biotics. Next Friday he’s going for an X-ray and it looks like all four wisdom teeth will have to come out. At the moment he can barely eat anything solid and drinks through a straw.

Au Revoir
On Thursday chez Zoe, I read that Peter had hung up his keyboard for the time being, hopefully not permanently. Naked Blog was always a good place to visit, a mix between “The News quiz” and “I’m sorry I haven’t a clue”.

Busier and Busier.
I really haven’t been near the computer most of the week and it’s going to get worse. Lionel chased me down the street (I was in a hurry to catch the bus) on Thursday with details of three new students, all three needing urgent lessons within the next month. Why do they leave it till the last minute? I spent Thursday and Friday afternoons preparing lessons. I think that I said it before, I was hoping that May and June would be quiet months. I was planning on decorating the hall and kitchen. I should have known not to be optimistic. Last time I tried to paint the hall I got a phone call from one of Rob’s ‘friends’ telling me that the four of them were on the way for a long weekend. The hall has been half painted for four years.

It's quiz time again folks!
What Color is Your Brain?
brought to you by Quizilla
BLUE:
At work or in school: I like to be with people, sharing with them, inspiring them, and helping them. I work and learn best when I can take into consideration people and the human element. I flourish in an atmosphere of cooperation.
With friends: I always look for perfect love. I am very romantic, and I enjoy doing thoughtful things for others. I am affectionate, supportive and a good listener.
With family: I like to be happy and loving. I am very sensitive to rejection from my family and to family conflicts. I really like to be well thought of and need frequent reassurance. I love intimate talks and warm feelings.

Bookends
Yesterday evening I suddenly started thinking about Mary Poppins. I loved the film and still do. I even had cardboard dolls with clothes that you could cut out. I wonder where they went? We also owned the first Mary Poppins book. There were several, I can’t tell you how many because I thought I knew where the book was, but someone’s moved it. The book is better than the film and there is more in it, like the two ladies who go out to clean the stars at night and the cow who jumped over the moon and why she jumped.
I also liked ‘Hazel and the Well Dressing’ which was about a group of friends who revived the old English tradition of dressing wells with flowers in spring the say thank you for the gift of water. Another was ‘The Key to Rose cottage’ in which three teenagers almost starve to death because they go to the wrong Rose cottage. They smell a rat at the beginning when they find a store cupboard full of cans. This is odd because their Aunt, who owns the cottage, is a cookery teacher and wound NEVER use canned food. Remember in the early sixties, girls were encouraged to aspire to keeping their heads above canned food.
From my Grandmother’s house I still have ‘Jeremy’ by Hugh Walpole and ‘Esther Reid’, a Sunday School prize. We also had and loved ‘Mary Plain’, my Mum leant it to a neighbour who never returned it. I remember Mum reading ‘Peter Pan’ to us and a ‘Christmas Carol’ which was a Christmas present she had been given during the war.
I still go back and read my favourite books from time to time and some of them I’ve read to my children. I think it is interesting anyway to go back to certain books at different times and see how the perception of the book changes as I age.
What were your favourite books as a child and have you reread them as an adult?

Just in case it rains chez vous
A whole load of great games. In case you've got nothing better to do. I'm sorry, I don't remember where I found them, I hope I haven't trodden on anyone's toes.
