    :hello:
    Morning everybody,

    Here`s a few (((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))) for anyone who needs one or who is feeling a bit down/under the weather today.

    Welcome back Donny-Gal, mioliere and charlies-mum glad you all enjoyed yourselves, its back to reality :rolleyes:
    Essex-girl I think poppyoscar is right kitty is sheltering somewhere in the dry
    Rchdap a friend of mine used to make her own jam and always said she prefered using frozen fruit as it was easier to mush up.
    redruby don`t you just love a day to yourself??? I seem to get so much more done, when OH is off out somewhere, mind you he says the same about me;)

    Well today is vac/dust everywhere, clean all the mirrors, tiles, TV screens, glass doors in the kitchen, back and front doors, anything shiny really.

    DW needs emptying, washing almost done, sort something out for dinner tonight, not much left in the freezer so that should be easy enough.
    (Says she with confidence) :rolleyes:

    OH is putting his tools in the car, he`s doing a staircase for a friend today, the last tenant`s they had almost pulled the whole side of the staircase down, the treads are loose and there is a gaping hole down the one side, quite dangerous really, OH has told his friend not to let it again until it`s done in case someone has an accident, pretty scary really, :eek:

    He`s had his toast and a cup of tea and will be home for lunch, beans on toast I think for him and fruit for me.

    Right if I dont make a start I will be on here all day
    be back later

    Have only confused anyone, I only been away overnight to visit friends an hour down the coast. I am still in Spain and yes it is b. hot, like France M. Being by the coast helps a little as we do get a breeze.

    Still got another two weeks out here, need to top up the tan after Wimbledon!!

    morning all,

    Well I've emerged from the Wimbledon fortnight. I've now got a square bottom, square eyes and a pile of paperwork that is daunting. I've enjoyed some fabulous tennis and some historic victories. Notably the first girl's champion for 25 years, and the emergence of a new mens champion in Nadal. I was rooting for Federer, but Nadal is a great player.

    So, back to the real world. I haven't read the old threads yet, and to be honest, I may not have the time to catch up with them for a while to see what you are all up to, so I will send (((((hugs)))) to all those who need them, and put my nose to the grindstone for a bit and check in later

    Hey! Will catch up later. Bit bleary eyed as dragged out of bed as my brother missed his bus to school, so I had to drive him. I did make brioche yesterday and it turned out really well. *yum* Not sure whether I am cooking today, or even what I am doing. Probably the same old routine: flute playing, tidying, baking and trying to find a laptop.
