Do you know what the Spanish word "garrulo" means?
It means a person that is rustic, coarse, rough, lacking tact...

Edit: but I know that's not the meaning of garrulous. It made me laugh when you said you are a garrulous woman.

...oh yes I am all of that hee hee.

...When I referred to myself as a garrulous woman it was to contrast myself with eddie, who can be a man of few words (he can answer a question in a sentence whereas it takes me at least a paragraph)

...because in English garrulous, of course, means:
given to constant and frivolous chatter; talkative
full of trivial conversation

[from Latin garrulus, from garrīre to chatter]

I thought it meant just "talkative"... didn't know about the frivolous and trivial connotations. But yes, it quite defines you

All the best Moony , do not be away too long.
Teaching is a wonderful often undervalued profession.
Keep us posted on how you are going.

so what school do you teach at, and what grade?

do you do the distance education?

Qld Ed or private?



i didn't know you were a teacher, i thought trawlers was your trade.


different.

...I've been teaching students with special needs most of the time since I qualified.
Have a composite 3, 4, 5 class till the end of the year.
Ed. Qld.
It's a good bush school, only 45 students altogether. Great parent support (and scrutiny).
Re teaching on the east coast prior to this, I must say that my years on the back deck of a prawn trawler really stood me in good stead.

^^^^

composite.


we did mainstream until grade 5, and then a special school, with my son


luckily it was before they changed the structure a couple of years ago, from the IEP to ??? that replaced it.
now i my son wouldn't qualify because his IQ was too high.


>Asperger (high functioning autism)
>ADHD
>oppositional defiant
etc

...at my last school an added trauma for the kids was that most of them were Indigenous and all of them were in trasition from violent and abusive situations into foster care. It's a great pity that your son doesn't comprehend his blessing in having a devoted and caring mother and a stable home.

I thought your work would keep you away from us... but this is worse, much worse: I suspect you are actually getting involved in the world outside

What is it like? Mangoes and bats and crocodiles, bike ride and a Sun?

Have fun

Oh I thought you were just enjoying your vacation time. Good your mother rallies.

Hic? what is that? hiccup from being drunk?

...also, as you can imagine, mum takes up a fair amount of my time and depleted energy. As well as having deteriorating health, she is blind.

I miss our late-night conversations (and sliding down the chat)

You seem to have recovered it with this update

...I feel the slow rumbling of my wit returning

...is that empty space a comment on the contents of my mind of late?

oh oh

indeed you're starting to be witty... again
and I'm starting to not understand


but that space didn't mean any comment

Silly me

yes






















































(do you understand the space now?)

...............NO..................

I see..

Maybe you need one of this to have your mind going on top form



Do you like red vodka?
