• List

  • Brownies Accounts Monday
  • Em’s Mum’s stole  bit more to do tonight, I have one more full repeat and then the edging.
  • Tidy sitting room (i.e. shift the Great Dane Puppy’s girlfriend’s underwear into his room) Well, it looks vastly better, but it isn’t as good as I want.  Being full of my laundry now, and I’ve been writing letters.
  • Laundry (including sheets)
  • Sort out kitchen floor Don’t know when I thought I’d have time for this.  Next weekend.
  • Knit something for me (an Urchin).  Yarn now repurposed to a scarf for Jo.  Urchin is not going to work.  Gauge issues.  Will knit myself something else.  No idea what.

  • Test out logging into work Portal Managed to lock myself out with bad passwords.  Will have to reset password on Monday at work.
  • Try to collect Recorded Letter from Post Office (thus, leave flat at 9am on Saturday morning) Who was I kidding?  Plus I’d left it too late anyhow (you can only leave Recorded Letters a week without collecting them).
  • Try to find out about the smudge-propensity of ink used by schoolchildren in the 1920s. Question asked of various, but not yet answered… General consensus is that it would smudge on application of a tear.
  • Write thank you letters Bevin Boy, Chelsea Pensioner

  In other news, I didn’t have Guides this evening.  I had a batch of three year olds who got potato everywhere while making potato stamps, and then did hand prints and then rubbed their painty hands on their faces.  One was not allowed to make her promise, owing to the fact that she hadn’t really kept even the spirit of any of the Guide Laws.  If I ask you nicely, twice, to do something (including saying please), and you just back chat me, I reserve the right to raise my voice, and I reserve the right to give you a ticking off when you complain about it.  I was the one who was being reasonable to start with.  Not you.  When I say ‘please will you’, I expect it to happen.  And, conversely, if you say ‘please will you’ to me, I will do it.  Unless it involves putting myself in danger, or I really disagree.  When it comes to wiping paint off the floor, you won’t even have to ask me.

  A Guide is polite and considerate.

  Hmmm
