I always fancied that JB, at the time the classes were too expensive. Next best thing those Tiffany lamps which I love 

I used to enjoy stained glass work.  We now have four stained glass lamp shades: two hanging from ceilings and two on standard lamps, plus two pairs of small candle holders.
I haven't done this for a long time now, though I still have the necessary gear and various sheets of stained glass.

French.  I have never been very good a talking through my nose.

Thanks 🙂👍

I can't do 'maths' either, ie algebra and geometry, but I love numbers! I won the arithmetic prize for the whole school when I was 15. I did some book keeping qualifications at college, and worked with statistics and performance measurements in a couple of my jobs.  

I'm handless when it comes to DIY, decorating etc. I could get paint everywhere but where it should be. I could never have won a Blue Peter Badge. 

I am good at drawing and painting .
Good with horses and animals generally.
Not too bad with foreign languages .

JB's normally good at knowing this sort of thing.

Yes, I'm sure it stems from 'naught'.  It's just the way we Yorkies pronounce it.
Rather similar for 'owt' meaning 'anything', probably from 'aught' which I don't think anyone uses now.

I've always had a strong work ethic, instilled by my parents.  I've volunteered in different ways since I retired.  Better than doing housework! 😖 I wish I'd had a better education, I really messed up, so  I'm glad my kids took opportunities.  Really proud of what they've done.   I've been quite good at being a granny I think, we've had some fun!

Maths
I could just about manage algebra ok but geometry was a total mystery to me .
As for those dreadful problems when someone on a bike meets a train going  the other way at x miles per hour ...arghhh .
We had this horrible book full of logarithms .
It could have been hieroglyphics for all I understood them !
I was pretty good at everything else at school .

Now I am useless at technology .
I just can't do it .

Just put them on the airer or radiator or wherever you dry these things. 
Lie, goddammit.  You're a man, for heaven's sake.

😬😬

No, I had cleaned them.  I received a nice apology today, though she did pick them up to check!
