"What do you take in school?"
"We take, Sir. Lessons.
And why are they called lessens?
Well, Sir, on Monday we go to school for five hours, and Tuesday we go to school for four hours; Wednesday, of course, is three hours. Obviously, Thursday is two hours in school. However, Friday is only one hour. Therefore, Ice, as the week progresses the time in school lessens.

Oh bless!!!! My profound apologies, LinK!!
Lol - as you must've noticed, I tend to reply wryly, or with a grain of humour - sometimes misconstrued as sarcasm.
Well I have a whole library of books, and wish I had more time to read them, but I don't. Now and again, one of these little gems comes my way, and once you start reading it, it just intrigues me further - but I somehow missed the damned gift voucher that was folded between its pages!

Don't know whether to blush at you two, or grin. I'm afraid, LinK, that I'm missing lots of things on here at the moment, because of my slow-running computer, but it's being overhauled again soon, so that should make a bit of difference. Night anyway. x
Stewey - I've read the book, but finding the time to read is a luxury these days. Ah well - later, I will. x
