Occasionally, when I was small, we would have half a grapefruit for dessert. We had a grapefruit knife with a curved and serated blade, eating the segments with a spoon.

It wasn't until some twenty years later that I saw someone eat a grapefruit just as you would an orange. It had never occurred to me that a grapefruit could be eaten that way! ohmy.gif

Have done so ever since! biggrin.gif



We have grapefruit spoons biggrin.gif

As with apples there are different types of pear and they vary in taste and texture.
My mum likes really hard pears and i prefer them just about soft enough to bite easily.
They also have a very short space of time between nice and too mushy....

The surefire way of not getting a job is not to apply for it! Auntie BM suggests if it's something you like the look of then set aside 30 mins sometime over the weekend. I expect your CV's done anyway, so it's just a question of tweaking. Obviously finals are important (and your essays), but don't pass up a job opportunity if you're genuinely interested.

I expect your CV's done anyway, so it's just a question of tweaking. Obviously finals are important (and your essays), but don't pass up a job opportunity if you're genuinely interested.

It's not a CV that I have to send. It's an application form and it'll take me more than 30 minutes to do. I am interested but don't match some of the spec completely. Sorry if this sounds a bit dismissive, it isn't meant to be, but I just don't have enough hours in the day to do everything. smile.gif

What you need is a time-turner... tongue.gif You're quite right to prioritise, and I expect some applications do take more work than others.

I've changed my mind and decided to apply. Sorry for my moaning yesterday!

Oh gosh ohmy.gif I've got a Kodaly lesson in five days time! How much work have I done since the last Kodaly lesson? (I now have one lesson at the start of each term)... blush.gif

I have a class on Tuesday for which I am supposed to know a lot of sources by...that will not happen.

I guess you're still doing the other application form, Nicki...

I've written the form....it needs a lot of tweaking but it's written.


Good luck, nicki, hope you get it smile.gif

Yes, a proper job. I really need to spend time on it, but I don't have time....


ooo, best of luck with that! Hope it goes well smile.gif


Hmm, I've decided not to apply - I physically don't have time or energy to complete a good application

The surefire way of not getting a job is not to apply for it! Auntie BM suggests if it's something you like the look of then set aside 30 mins sometime over the weekend.

biggrin.gif Good for you Nicki! Hope you do well there, too : and don't worry about yesterday - I've been there, seen it and have the wardrobe of T-shirts to prove it!...

There's a cat in the conservatory...this wouldn't be a problem, but we don't own a cat, and this is the third time this has happened in recent months! wacko.gif

Have you heard of 'Schrodinger's Cat' in physics?

Perhaps, if you didn't look in the conservatory, the cat wouldn't exist! biggrin.gif

I have heard of it, never really understood it that well though laugh.gif that would be a splendid plan, only the piano is in the conversatory as well tongue.gif my mother thinks it's because it's cold out, as it only appears when it's chilly, but it's generally colder inside the conservatory than outside! laugh.gif

You haven't been playing Scarlatti's Cat's Fugue again, have you? That might explain it! laugh.gif

I was listening to that just earlier! ohmy.gif I love the idea that it was based on his cat walking over the piano keys laugh.gif
