    (((((Great big birthday hugs, Pk))))) What kind of books do you like? That might narrow it down a bit.

    My five for Wednesday:

    1. Weighed myself at the end of 2nd week and have lost another 2 pounds so that makes 9 so far. Very pleased with myself. :T I've decided that the time has come to really make this work. I've a long way to go but once the dramatic first bit has levelled out I am hoping for a pound or so a week.

    2. Grilled halloumi and salad for lunch. Bit of a treat that.

    3. NSD.

    4. Yesterday, I ordered a gift pack of some really nice looking 'sore muscles and joints' and 'sore feet' cream with essential oils for my mum's Christmas present and it arrived today. Looks ideal. Practical presents are her kind of thing but this is also a bit pampering too.

    5. The river levels shot up between early afternoon when I looked at the floodwatch site and about six this evening when my parents rang to see if we were under water. They'd seen the local news and I hadn't. Some places locally have been flooded but we've been ok. Thank goodness the river level has now dropped a bit and upstream doesn't look too bad at all so all of that's a pleasure and a relief. It's made me renew my efforts about decluttering though. :)

    Sweet dreams,

    So we still have to be nice to blackbeard the newbie :rotfl:
    Is in interest of best for yous. In fact, we should be all nice all times. (Apols to SPARRA about spillings etc.)

    5 Just listening to the radio, and we have a spokesmand from some Bingo Qango. It delivers bull until such time as it numbers comes up and then comes up with a worth.

    4 Curry nite and wobbleaides. Quarts to quaff! And Lady Black is coming too as well.

    3 Got a Frazier Crumble today. Car drivers to scared to drive? Yesterday on way home from Hospital, idiots who cannot ford their vehicle, just sitting there blocking the road. Give your liecence back before the snow comes. Minds me a couple year ago, when up Hyde Hill the Beardie Truck waltzed up, through the muck. On top of hill stood PC PLod, adviusing people that it was, in the eyes of a policeman, far too dangerous, to consider the hill, looked smackled in mush, when asked where I had come from. I then proceded on my tour of drivers who cannot drive.

    2 Just doing the daily bread. Woke the yeast up, in cup, dob of water, tepid. Nice to bubbles. Add splatter of sugar and she is acting like she has got life written all over the buns. Toast is coming. (I hear thunder as i rite)

    1 Nice

    Happy Birtday PK (BoP is too young to send a cake!)

    Morning

    PK- Happy Birthday for yesterday. With the free books on my kindle I just download lots of them and if I don't like them just remove them, sorry probably not much help. Can recommend the one on the history of Broadmoor though, very interesting reading.
    BoP - just thought I better give you my assurance that I will definetly have my drawers on bit chilly now not to;). Where I come from the saying is fur coat no knickers.

    Pleasures for yesterday,
    1. Yummy breakfast on the train to Coventry and managed to clear quite a lot of emails whilst on the train.
    2. Meeting went off quite well considering.
    3. Getting home eventually yesterday, lots of delays and 3 trains merged into 1 plus extra stops but at least I had a seat and managed to get a much needed sandwich.
    4. Naughty but nice chinese take away for dinner. By the time I got home it was too late to do the Roast Chicken I had planned on.
    5. Little snooze whilst waiting for dinner to be delivered.

    Hugs to all who need them
