Today I Learned

Lighthearted.
Today i learned that money does not grow on trees.
If thats the case why do banks have branches.
I wonder if thats where the saying comes from actually.

Today I learned that I can enjoy roast chicken without roast potatoes.
(Reducing carbs)

Today I learned that DS1 is going back into the office tomorrow so we are to have DGdog as we did pre-pandemic. We will be delighted to have her.

Today I learned that snooker might not be quite as boring as I thought but my time limit for watching it is half an hour.

And you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince.

Then he might turn out to be a toad.

All toads are frogs but not all frogs are toads.

Today I learned that having been offered a stay at a very expensive luxury hotel I really don’t feel comfortable about it and want to say No Thank You.

Same here midgey. The years since my youngest left home to venture forth have just flown by. He will be 50 in exactly two weeks. Tonight I will decided how to celebrate it with him. I haven't heard from him for two months.

Poor Midgey. My eldest is 51 (!!!!!) this year and I dovwish you hadn't made me think about it.

I learnt that extended families are nearly as good as Stenders but I can't stop opt out.

Today I learned my daughter is going to be forty eight! Yes I know I knew that in theory but that makes me really old. ?

I didn't know that. I used to have lots of fireworks going off in my eyes. Apparently the jelly in my eyes collapsed and fell to the bottom. Today I learned that the PLJ juice we used to have in the house in the 70s stands for Pure Lemon Juice.
