The only Spanish I know (other than Hola, Por Favor & Gracias) is Grapadora - Stapler.
Once, a colleague & I were wondering what the name was for the thing that removed staples. She spoke Spanish, & said we should call it a De-grapadora. It stuck!
20 years later, it’s still a De-grapadora to me 😁

Just been chatting with a friend about our teenage years. I’d almost forgotten about JustSeventeen magazine. I absolutely loved it!
So much (dodgy) advice about growing up & adolescent angst.

I’m finally recovered from an amazing weekend at #PubInThePark London.
Met lots of celebs/chefs who were wonderful.
Even got an early birthday present - signed copy of Tom Kerridge’s #TheHandAndFlowersCookbook 😍

A quick visit to the Charterhouse Museum today, and found this beauty. Plan of the Charterhouse monastery’s water system circa 1431.
It depicts the water system (pipes, gutters & cisterns) delivering fresh water from nearby wells & springs. #History #Charterhouse #Engineering #15thC #Genealogy

Using up some stale bread by making bread pudding. Time to turn to my trusty recipe book, passed down from my Mum.
A little worn, stained pages, taped together in places, but still wonderful.

My paternal great grandparents and their children, circa 1943. Probably just before my grandfather enlisted. He was the eldest (top left).
1 child is missing from the photo as she died a decade earlier at the age of 3. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

Why should you study genealogical courses? This is why 👇🏼
I loved studying with @pharostutors.bsky.social and am thoroughly enjoying being a Pharos Tutor myself now.
