Fleur I have been watching the birds, putting food and water out for them and (hopefully) rescuing some of my plants that were outside - the cold last night was worse than expected.

I know at least one or two MyLotters have also written other things. Now I’m wondering how many members have written a book? And was it published – if so how, where and by whom? Did you send the manuscript to a publisher in the...

Isn’t English weird? The past of teach is taught, but the past of preach is preached, but not praught, as you might think it ought to be. And I just came across another linguistic oddity. The white powder descended from the sky...

Fleur @xFiacre The other day I heard a member of the House of Lords condemning someone else's use of hyperbole - except she pronounced it 'hyper-bowl'. How embarrassing on national radio!

Fleur I imagine with 12 courses each one must be very small, or else the meal must last most of the day! My friend had a six-course meal at her wedding reception (in Holland); that was quite an event. Otherwise I don't think I have ever had more than four.
