Well done. I had the pleasure doing my W5R3 yesterday in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris as we were away for the weekend. It was chilly but no snow for me.

I grew up with that phrase. As soon as you tell someone it, you usually get the same reaction of 'you know what! I'm NOT made of paper!"

Well done you. Great effort

Well done, big achievement to be proud of. Our Headmistress at Infants School used to tell us we were not made of sugar when we didn’t want to go out at playtime in rain.

Possibly your head mistress was of the same era as my sugar mouse statement.

My word, well done, Ch0911. I was told, "you're not a sugar mouse!" It was a rather disgusting sweet from a long time ago. But in that weather...mmm...eak eak! :-)
