The last word....

[conny]

Pond water can stagnate when there is no movement.

 

[wotan]

a mechanical clock movement is far more interesting than a quartz

 

[conny]

In a quartz clock can you have a pendulum?

 

[wotan]

there are several quartz clocks with a pendulum, just for show

 

[conny]

I like to show my grand children things of interest.

 

[wotan]

things of interest develope a youngsters thinking ability

 

[conny]

My grand daughter in particular has the ability to be very quick on the uptake.

 

[wotan]

being quick on the uptake, shows intelligence

 

[conny]

Then she must get her intelligence from her grandad.

 

[wotan]

the same grandad who left the buggy at the nursery

 

[conny]

It seems when someone mentions they left a buggy at the nursery it is never going to be forgotten.

 

[wotan]

gone but not forgotten, out of sight out of mind

 

[conny]

I don't mind people having a laugh at my expense.

 

[wotan]

no expense involved, you got it back free of charge.

 

[conny]

Some people would charge around like a bull in a china shop when reminded of their shortcomings.
