Re: HAPPY HOUR
Just stuck my nose in the fridge to see if anything tempts me now that I've gone off pasta. Full pack of smoked salmon so we'll have smoked salmon crostini for lunch with a smidgen of fresh black pepper and a squirt of lemon juice. No cooking involved so it's win win.

Re: HAPPY HOUR
I think we all need to start popping in to Happy Hour more for an aperitivo and some Christmas drinks. As soon as it's December 1st I'll get the Christmas CD on. Was always told it was bad luck to play Christmas music before December. Doesn't seem to stop the shops putting out stuff in September though.
Time for the same old yearly problem ..... what to buy MIL?

I bought my MIL a chair for Christmas, but she wouldn't plug it in.

The local bar offered us free drinks a few days ago.

Re: HAPPY HOUR
Whilst channel hopping during the adverts of a TV programme, a marriage guidance counsellor or somebody like that was asking a bloke to say the first three things that he liked about his partner.
"Go on then", I said to the OH, "what are the first 3 things you like about me?"
'Nice things?' he replied, 'I'm knackered Lorna and can't think right now.'
I was not amused. In just 3 seconds I can think of at least ten nice things about myself

Re: HAPPY HOUR
Yeah. I'll shout you all to a Prosecco later. Got myself a new teaching job in a middle school in the next village up the mountain, starting mid March and finishing end of April.
I was contacted by the English teacher there before Christmas and met with her in January. She told me that the school had to advertise the position as a "bando" on their website even though it was highly unlikely that any other 'expert mother tongue' would apply.
I duly gave the school my official, written application and CV etc. and just waited for the 'bando' to expire. It has and as I'm the only candidate, the job's mine.
I've already been warned that there are three terribly unruly and disruptive boys in one class.
Cheers
