    Only now do I have the pics and graphics everyone was commenting on.

    Frith - how pleased you must be. They look good.
    Katholicos - your sookie looks as if she's in a 'tween the legs cubbie and very, very pleased so to be.
    skint - that's a real 'in out, in out, shake it all about' hokey cokey of a line-up. Love it!
    caro - go for it. Book to see Mr C. It's a laying-up of precious things experience which you'll regret not knowing. Please don't think I'm being £casual or spendthrift-pushy on your behalf. My means are slight, but I'm trying to learn what I know to be important when advising and acting for other people might be equally good for self.
    Now, off you go. 'That bloody woman made me' is a perfect excuse.

    I'd never heard of geo-caching until ce soir!
    Another 'right up my street' sort of thingy, I'd say. Don't worry, I'm not going to come rushing to wherever you are.

    1. Sunday scone (date) and a mooch through the papers and supplements
    2. Bit of a Sunday snooze
    3. Nice chat with neighbour across the road as I was enroute to :
    4. The library to watch episode 1 of comic relief bake off.
    5. Made courgette and bacon soup, sweetcorn, bacon and ricotta fritters and more sausage rolls.

    Was a wet start to the day but brightened up to be a pleasant afternoon, hope you have a lovely day :)
  • Good afternoon all !

    Katholicos- what an adorabale hound :D No wonder he gets a lot of cuddles

    Skintos - the "emotions " cracked me up - reminded me a bit of The Full Monty where the guys are doing that thrusting to Donna Summers' "Hot Stuff" in the P.O queue:rotfl:The best bit of the film- well almost ..;)

    5 for yesterday

    1. Loads of washing dried on the line.

    2. House clean and tidy.

    3.Made two beef lasagnes and two quorn ones had Mum and tiny terrier over for tea .

    4. My uncle came over from Essex as his boat is moored here and he bought over some corn over for the hens and met the terrier .

    5. Doc Martin x 2. Repeats but in awe of scenery every time

    5 for today

    1. Used money off coupons at Mr. T.

    2. OH put petrol in the OGV

    3. Tired today so may have a snooze - because I can :D

    4. Kindle books

    5. My sister got awarded her DLA indefinately - she can barely walk a few steps, can't lift her arm (RA) and has epilepsy and can't recall what tablets she is taking or what she has taken:eek: She does go to work now part time, but works with her OH who keeps an eye on her all day .

    Have a good day all !
    :AToo fat to be Felicity Kendal , but aim for a bit more of the good life :A

    What a gorgeous doggie.:A
  • Hound Dogs and all. Greetings

    Sunday service again. I see the Emporium Boos reveals his true thoughts. Note my new signature. For all their horse trading, the food in these places is cheap.

    5 Just had Roast Chicken dins. Served with stuffing, mash and swede carrot mash. Funtastico. No spotted !!!!!! this week and cat is going ballistic. Anotehr very good meal, with the buzzard coming from local butcher, motto of. Only kills what he can sell. Now the Emporium boss, withh all their horsemeat cannot say that.

    4 Good point theirs &. There are people living rough all over the world. I have been shown some in the Empty quarter when I was there. Every mothers son, till some find ... And then we have butchers as well.

    3 Lady Black listens to her pre recorded shows on the BBC today. She does not listen to teh recorded 9 am slot, as I have taken the !!!! out of it for years. Just perked on the news. The grammar of the presenter is carp. The off button was hit.

    On that subject, as the faked broadcast was made just 70 Christmas' ago, 'This is Stallingrad' I see it is now 70 years since that turning point. Lauries original series on the subject still surpasses all the bull they produce today.

    2 TV Free day 34. Bull excreta free, incluing dipping into the Manchester rag. Just doing a video to watch tonites, paint your Wagon. An all time classic. lady Black lusts that lee bloke!!!

    1 Keep on to the end, and then luck back with smugs.

    My 5 OS pleasures today:

    1) massive yorkshire puds using my hand whisk

    2) digging out my cromptons gravy salt and attempting to make gravy like my grandma did.

    3) made flapjack for our supper (but custard from the tin :o )

    4) donned my wellies and took the pup for a chase the stick session.

    5) gathered the lunch 'dregs' to make stock.

    Sundays seem to be the most back to basics day for me and I like it. :D

    hi all, lovin the doggie pics (thanks katholicos) and anecdotes

    Chicken, am so pleased for your sister, it sounds like she was due a bit of good news x

    So far today

    1. good sleep

    2. went for an early walk, the wind was a bit chilly to say the least but it blew away the cobwebs. Sciatica started to twinge but eased off so I managed a good 40 minutes along the foreshore. Very grey but lots of birds singing on the common. Cant wait for the spring when all the trees and bushes get their leaves back

    3. Pasted the last piece of wallpaper and hung it to finish the hallway

    4. few more bits decluttered .... still a long way to go. Finally managed to hoover without setting off the trapped nerve in my arm so am hoping its settling down. More physio next week

    5. roast chicken for tea and it smells divine

    BoP ...I was born under a wandering star... should have stuck to acting !!

    Today
    1.A slow start to the day, was nice to get some proper sleep last night.
    2.Put a casserole onto cook on very low all day, just took the lid off put some dumplings in and will serve in a mo.:)
    3.Watched something called the Princess Bride I’d never seen it before it was fantastic with some laugh out loud sarcasm in:rotfl:
    4.Leftover cheesecake for later.:D
    5.A small spend day as popped to Lidl for screenwash and cheap dungalan. Have to admit I am getting shocked by how much things have gone up.
    6.Finally got all the seeds and trays in one place, decided to wait until I have picked up some water beads from the £1shop next week, then they get popped into the airing cupboard for a week, I'm on a mission this year:j:j
