    I was only quoting this yesterday, it’s like you heard me @Dovefromabove 😁.

    I love listening to Willie Nelson.

    I never believe these meme’s until I can find proof,  in this case it’s true.

    On second thoughts,  that article was written by a bot,   Will have another look around.

    It may or not be a genuine quote … I don’t really mind … and I sort of assumed it probably wasn’t anyway … it’s funny, and that’s the point  … ITS A JOKE 🤪

    🤔 ‘The Knowledge says  “…It is mathematically impossible for the average Frenchman to do his mandated 35 hours of work a week, says Le Point. He sleeps an average of eight hours a night (2,920 hours a year), eats two hours a day (730 hours), spends an hour on transport (365), “devotes 30 minutes a day to his toilette” (183) and has 52 weekends in the year (2,496). All this leaves 2,066 “useful” hours per year, from which must be subtracted five weeks of leave (840 hours), for a remainder of 1,227 hours. But 35 hours per remaining week adds up to 1,645 hours – leaving an inescapable deficit of more than an hour per day….


    Far be it from me to raise the question of how French women manage to to all they’re supposed to … but I bet they do … and more … they probably do their stuff plus the stuff the men don’t have time for …

    💡  they probably multi-task 😉 

    … I’ll get my coat ….. 🤪

    Is this something that gardeners have in their china cabinets … or will it be on their next list for Father Christmas?

    I used to have a few dishes in the Lettuce ware,  I loved it at the time,  I think I still do.

    I once had a cabbage-ware bowl .... I think I put it in an auction with a load of 'stuff' we just don't have the room for ...
