My Confident Class
I've just seen Jamie Oliver on TV. He did his little bit, then signed off by saying, 'Take care. Mr O,' and saluted. Calling himself Mr O? Is that his thing now? I don't care for it.
Today my mother showed me her 2011 diary. It starts at January, then goes straight to April, May, June and July, before going back to April and proceeding in a more regular fashion through the rest of the months. She didn't realise until she went to write down a February appointment and couldn't find where to put it. She's going to get another, more conventional one.
Also, during the Christmas day Daisy family game of Scrabble, my mother put PRAD on the board and claimed it was 'the cowboy word for horse'. I challenged that because she has a history of making up words (she had earlier tried to play PLAPA), but it turned out she was right. Right about it being a slang word for horse, at any rate; the dictionary had nothing to say about whether it comes from cowboys. So if anyone ever makes a TV movie called A Very Daisy Christmas, that's the lesson that would be learnt at the end: prad is the cowboy word for horse. Which is also a handy word for Scrabble, so that's two lessons.
