  2. Congratulations on the B grades. Well deserved! If there's nothing on Netflix, snuggle up with the furries and read your book, whilst nibbling a Scotch egg and sipping a gin. Too windy to be out anyway. xx

    1. A useful start of which I’m rather proud, given my inability to understand general IT

    Well done! The confession/counseling similarities/differences project is especially fascinating to me, something to research! Along with scotch eggs - since I don't much like hard boiled eggs I'm not sure why I find them so interesting. The contrasting textures, perhaps?

    Cheers going into the weekend.

    Congrats for the good grades; it feels good to get something under your belt doesn't it. Hope you got a lot of watching done and relaxing with the fur babies. Nice to have a few down days before having to work.

    Well done on your essay and poster and there is wiggle room for improvement as always!

    What great gifts arrived today and hope you have a glorious day doing as you please and eating what you please.
    Do consider a Christmas tree next year as everyone needs one to gladden the heart and to smell wonderful.

    Hugs!

  27. Hi John
    I'm travelling, but doing ok. It's a bit of a chore, and am pretty worn out by the evening, but...I'm doing it.
    I hope you have a good christmas, in my early professional years I often had duty on either the eve or the day. I don't remember minding it, until the kids got born.
    Take care,
    Mike

  32. Grade B: "John is easily distracted and though Grade B is quite acceptable there is obviously room for improvement."

  33. Congratulations on your grades. I think you are doing very well with your course while juggling everything else in life.

  34. Congratulations.

  35. A B and a -B are good grades, just enough room to be able to do better, but perfectly adequate in their own right - well done.

    I don't know if you have already seen it or if you have Amazon Prime, but Saltburn was released yesterday and seems quite promising. I missed being able to see it at the cinema (and therefore saved myself quite a bit of money) so I'll watch it later if I manage to build my gingerbread house.
