Well done DD, doing better than I can manage to lose weight, love my food toooo much!
1. Dutch apple pie and it smells of cinnamon mmm
2. Leftover potatoes and next doors eggs for tea
3. Washed up:D
4. New new tricks tonight. Used to watch it with me dad:)
5. rummage in great grandmothers old, uninhabitable bungalow (floors at an angle) 3 vintage dresses that have been there for at least 40 years, lovely fabric, and they have barely no damage. Pity I'm not the same size as my great grandmother in the 1940's!
Demon step step grandchildren tomorrow...I shall be in hiding!! (How can such small things be so evil!)(and the twins, dear lord, they are like two tasmanian devils on their little leads)

McHags: Sounds like you are greatly enjoying the in between- ness
DD: Good to see you posting and hugs.

1. Work was not great, due to a person who cannot do his job, he is a large part of the reason why I will be leaving, a pleasure because I can get lost in a fantastic Diana Gambalon book on the commuting.
2. Leftovers for dinner which means a pasta bake to disguise it.
3. 2nd load of washing is on but I can’t get it dried naturally so it’s all over the house.
4. Have hopefully got some surprise tickets to a show in London.
5. I’ve phoned SKY and given them notice.

1. Listening to as much spookymen's chorale as I can find, having tracked down down last seat, A73, in lower balcony for Concert in 2 days' time! Now see bop has been moonlighting in Speight's beer commercial in my little countree, as well as sponsoring the Beard Song[2nd excerpt]. also Don't Come Between a Man and his Tools.

2. Dug up a rogue potato - huge surprise, literally. They're mini rugby balls! 11 from one stem so far and lovely.

3. Also picked 1st courgette. Showed off. Neighbour was obliged to make many admiring noises. Zapped with garlic, little olive oil. Divine.

4. Cabin fever's kicking in badly and downpours made deep forensic work for LOST KEYS impossible. Eventually took self off with thermos+books and did deep thinking instead, mingled with big gazing over wide expanses of wheat, gold in the last 2 days[same out back chez moi], listening to skylarks and remembering my maman telling me they only sing on the rise. Not long back.

5. Took sweet peas to dear neighbour. I loved picking them, esp. knowing this brings them on even more, with longer stems.

5. This is great fun atm, on r4x - 'Mrs Bradley - The Mystery of a Butcher's Shop. An Offal Discovery':

Another element of shame: I had never heard of yet another of this lost generation of remarkable women -

Bon sour, no rain here

DD. glad to see you posting, it will take time
Mhags, well your posts seem totally different this week
DforV glad it isn't too serious

For yesterday

1 I heard someone say "ooh la la"
2 OH DS and I walked over the mountains to a beautiful walled town, Villefranche de Conflent. Lovely walk in lovely weather with stunning scenery
3 had lunch in the town square., with beer
4 caught the bus back. Walk was 2 hours, bus was 10 minutes :rotfl:
5 went for another swim and then a walk round the town there. There was a farmers market in the town square a d a band was playing. They had an accordionist, so it must have been France, but they were playing "y viva espagne"

And today

1 up early to catch "le train Jaune" into the heart of the Pyrenees
2 tho had a lovely breakfast of coffee and croissant at the station cafe first
3 rode in the cattle truck with loads of other people. They were all screaming and clapping, every time we went into a tunnel
4 popped into Spain for lunch :cool:
5 bought a natty hat at Villefranche, while waiting for the bus back here as I was rather burnt in the cattle truck. DD says I look like a turtle :eek: but OH says its lovely.

Night all

Frith

Boo to lost keys, Ampersand. :-(

VJsmum - my mum has been on an intensive accordian course today with someone (apparently) very famous in the world of piano accordians!

Pleasures for today

1) A good sleep.

2) Remembered to get my car tax online.

3) Doing Paul McKenna's "Change Your Life in 7 Days". On day 4. Day 3 made no sense to me at all but I quite liked today's.

4) Doing odd jobs around the house.

5) County Council confirmed smaller son's transport to new school next term (after I reminded them for the millionth time who I was and that they promised to phone me last Friday...)

6) Went for a walk in the forest this afternoon. Very humid indeed.

7) Nice texts and a chat with smaller son.

8) Made vegetarian chilli for my tea.

9) Holby City!

We're all there too, vjm. Glorious, glorious!
-'popped into Spain for lunch '...comme on fait.
Continues le rapportage, s'il te plaît:-)

piecemeal

What did I do today....have ME and I have a bad memory:
1. Made choc and banana muffins, also raisin and banana, out of reduced overripe bananas.
2. Had a neighbourly natter with lady next door.
3. Visited mum, who has dementia, and she laughed in recognition when I reminded her of a family story.
4. Went to bed early.
5. Read aloud with DH.
Sometimes I look back at my day and think I've done nothing; obviously not; no 3. is the best.

Welcome piecemeal - what a lovely post! Your no.5 is something I miss.
- and a banana fatigue theme ongoing in a few OS pleasure kitchens.
