Hello ED, TY for the Yellow Wagtail. History of the English Language Lesson No. 3. 'ght' As in words like flight, night, and sight etc., represents a gutteral like in loch, used in old English. During the Great Vowel Shift (14th - 17th. centuries ), when pronunciations changed. The spelling remains as a fossilized record of the original.
Re. Kites, I have several and the children enjoy taking them to the beach to fly them. I often see kites being flown as I drive along the coast.  XXX

October has watered the Apis Melliflora - thank you! x

Good morning splash--It is a nice sunny, 11 degreee morning to start the day.I think with Sandra the natural thing is to blame someone for what is happening,your just the convenient target  Like so many things no one is at fault and there doesn't seem to be a right way to deal with things and no pill to put things right. But sounds like you have a doctor involved and tracey is close at hand so hopefully things will smooth out.I was catching up but then new day and we start all over,have to get the garbage and recycling down and hope the dumpster is emptied(sometimes they only seem to empty one) and then I will tackle the rest--eventually I might win the battle. Golf wasn't too bad but its not the big tournament so basicly you have the ones trying to gain points playing. Hope today goes well and do what you can and let someone else help.

Hello Ed, I am pleased that Tracey is taking the reins. Sad about Jason not responding. That must be heartbreaking for you! HUGS!

Hello ED, TY for the Lovebirds. I worked at the Oppie today. Not many donations due to the build going on nearby. It is a relief really as we can catch up. I did research the 'w' in wrong, write,wrap and wreck. It comes from Germanic and old Norse languages. The 'w' was heavily articulated. Around the 15th century the English language began to shift and speakers found the 'wr' combination difficult to pronounce so the 'w' was dropped. However when early printing presses were established in the 15th and 16th centuries, printers standardized the spellings based on historical roots rather than contempory speech. I found this fascinating! I hope that it lightens your day. Haha I will now have to research 'GHT'. Not this evening. I so find our English language fascinating.

Hello Ed, I am glad some of the family are stepping up to help you as you cannot do this on your own. It obviously was an emotional meeting. Is anyone informing your son and Olivia? Hugs.

Good morning splash-- We are starting the dat nice and sunny and at 14 so it is still nice and cool at night for sleeping. I am glad that they are checking to at least help and to make sure things are going the right direction. Glad you managed to get the sample-- there may be nothing wrong but at least you may be able to get one possible problem out of the way.I have never had to deal with any of those problems but living in here have seen it happening to the best of them. I am sure if you need it there has to be some help for you as that is a heavy load to have to carry alone. I shal spend today trying to catch on 2 1/2 days of not doing a lot--will start at the top and just work down anf get what I can each day. My piller to post appointments are tiring but I keep telling my self they are doing something and I am lucky to have all the doctors I have. Have a good day and hopefully all goes well today and you can have a good day.
