Things you'd like to say, but can't

Think television series with character who is English but the name is a very old Scottish name with a river, village ,hotel,garage camp site etc. One was the Archbishop of Glasgow but they were also noted Covenanters and had close connections with the Low Countries where one branch became doctors to the Dutch royal family. Many were murdered by the Homes ( pronounced Hume )who coveted their land and castles. Beyond that I will not go.

I didn't have to set my alarm for 5:30 this morning.

And I didn't stay up after dinner until gone 11:00 for one last drink at my last offsite meeting with my soon-to-be-ex-colleagues, and we didn't start our meeting at 8:30 this morning and finish at 5:45, and the hotel we were meeting and staying in had air conditioning throughout.

I didn't put my back out lifting a bed up a spiral staircase, and I definitely didn't need any help putting my socks on......

The kids had a music channel on the TV and Adele's "Send My Love" video was on, just as I read that.

I've just heard the term: "The snowflake generation". It's so apt.

My plan is to sell up and move 5 pico seconds after I can get the last one to bugger off to college. I'll let them know where we've moved to when I need someone to pay for my funeral.
