But I do allow myself some nice dark chocolate after dinner... especially if it's been a tough day. Nothing like chocolate for reviving your spirits and the will to live. ;-)Caroline Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07249424644829463560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-32176558863982750242012-03-09T10:59:35.694+00:002012-03-09T10:59:35.694+00:00Brilliant, Caroline!

Am amazed at everything involved with this trip, even though the staff and pupils will only be thinking of their "one hour talk" and unaware of all the rest. Glad you had some First Class rest and your Reading meeting sounds fantastic. (Sorry - I daren't go back and check your expert's name for fear of my comments being wiped.) <br /><br />Msut add that, like Mary above, I am totally impressed by your food pre-planning, at home and on the road.Penny Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386668303428008498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-50512098727302485132012-03-09T10:56:29.603+00:002012-03-09T10:56:29.603+00:00I totally sympathise over the train, what a nightm...I totally sympathise over the train, what a nightmare! I've been driving this term because the train timings were too tight and I have yet to make an indirect train journey at rush hour that wasn't delayed at some point - but I got stuck on the M6 for an hour and a half the other day so the roads aren't much better!<br /><br />I must look into Ivory Bangle Lady for my Roman archaeology class in a couple of weeks - I've set an essay on what we can tell from funerary sites...Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-52578109170929390292012-03-09T10:10:18.628+00:002012-03-09T10:10:18.628+00:00Loved this.

Puts my chocolate digestive (kept in pocket with an amount of fluff) to shame. But I hope you really treat yourself when you've finished your cross-country stint.mary hoopernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-63722127192724465972012-03-09T09:45:29.034+00:002012-03-09T09:45:29.034+00:00Hey, Caroline!

You're a true professional, and were I wearing a cowboy hat and jacket, I'd shake the tassels in appreciation. To mix a few metaphors - and why not - may your books fly and the trains be with you.K.M.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409099281179850092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-82501853511483596972012-03-09T09:41:19.747+00:002012-03-09T09:41:19.747+00:00Made Linda laugh and made me want to go and collap...Made Linda laugh and made me want to go and collapse on my chaise longue and put a dark wet cloth over my eyes. This might be fine for a one off but I'm conscious of your having to do the same kind of thing again and again....YIKES!! YOu're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!!<br />PS. What happened to LUNCH on First Class? We always had it on Virgin when I lived in Manchester. Though your own food sounds good!

Last night I was flicking through the television channels (in Venice) and there was your Flavia detectrix dubbed into Italian and poor Lupus nearly getting drowned. In prime time. On a mainstream station. I DID enjoy it.michelle lovrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01026972300195225090noreply@blogger.com
