My eldest - a lovely girl but a complete pain in the fucking arse aged 15-17 - was told last week that she'll graduate with a 2.1 from a the Uni of Sheffield.

There is redemption.  And paternoster lifts.

My eldest graduated MA on Wednesday.  Obviously I'm a very proud Da.

When we had lunch today she said, "I may not have liked school but I always worked hard".

Astonishing the effect 6/7 years and two degrees has on the memory.   When she was revising  for her GCSEs she wept buckets when I suggested she make a revision timetable; would weep buckets when I asked how she's doing wrt said timetable; and would threaten to call social services when I asked her to leave her phone in the kitchen during her revision times.  She was a nightmare and scraped by with just the bare minimum of work.

But that makes her MA all the sweeter - she did it all by herself.

I’ve been in a severe rut, mental health, the usual shite that life throws at you piled tenfold amongst other things out with your control.

I decided to paint; it’s not very good, but I struggled valiantly, fiddled with settings I had no idea what they did (digital art, btw).

I tried to paint the from my window (minus the lampposts and circles)

I know the sun placement in the water isn’t strictly correct, but what felt best about it for me was getting the colours I love to see down on some form of canvas, in the shape of something I love. The sun rising light over some hills and onto what is supposed to be an hue covered Tay.

Or, it could just be utter gash, who knows.

Regardless, if I croak it, be sure to create a bidding war for it in the future.

Painting is a great way to give yourself a bit of a time out if you're struggling mentally.

I've done it for years when depression kicks in and it really helps distract you and gives you a relief from some of the shite your brain wants to dwell on.

Sold loads now. Keep it up @SweeperDee 🙂

You should stick that in the Pregnancy & Parenting thread.

Broke a cardinal rule & slept with a mate's ex.

Are you and your mate getting together in the pub later to compare notes ?

Personally, I find it a bit odd that you would want to announce this on a public forum. You might now be on the same Watchlist as red23.

Why is this a problem? I know a few guys who have done this and it's never been a big issue (unless you're in mother-of-their-kids territory). 

My brother once tried to set me up with his ex, and I drew the line there. No chance.

Just felt super wrong.
