Nairy mind bop - we'll leave you some crumbs! and &'ll have anyone's who doesn't 'need' their almond icing. Surely that pic must win the 10lb 9oz category easily:-) deffo!

Just in ex-last bus for day. Darkest dark at 17 bells. Bed soon - after remaining oxtail and some rtc sprouts. Have to scramble about a bit tomorrow and prep. for Spits. Bookbinding update still in postponed mode.

1. npd.

2. Noon appt demain with deux objêts for Bonhams' chap to appraise in absence of Dr L. On verra.

3. Library reservations yippee! Began Martin Walker's latest Bruno mystère at bus stop, Children of War:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Children-War-Bruno-Courreges-Investigation/dp/1848664028
Both Martins, Walker and O'Brien, with Bruno and Jacquot, in Marseille and la France profonde are meat and drink to &.
Another 4 books similar to consume and long-awaited Anne Carson's
http://www.amazon.com/If-Not-Winter-Fragments-Sappho/dp/0375724516.
It's the absences as much as the presences of words that float and sing and prod and spark, all Joycean interstices. Feels like a direct line through to writers like HD.
We are so lucky with Cambs Central Library.

4. &'s new loupes have come - 3 'lost' @ Spits so far.

5. &'s Shelford RFC's membership status at last sorted and immediately responded to this em: '...Can you let everyone know , we still have Eng v Aust and Eng v South Africa tickets + 3 NZ tickets...'
Now, what &needs to know is 3 tkts for which match/es?: 8Nov vs Albion? 15Nov vs Mhags? 22Nov vs NextdoorFrith? Expected msgs this evening but nothing so far.

extra 5. Such a rarity these days - a reverbe, 1p, at Grand Arcade - they are the lucky ones, as learnt from my Nana, before many of you were born!

What's in store cupboard / freezer / forage-y surroundings?
It's such a man thing, to pine and fret re: not getting back to work and risk sensible recovery by trying too much too soon.
Hope you get your yeast free from Mr T.

Certainly was, dd - >double any OYNS wombled thus far:-)

Frith

Greywitch - sorry to hear your OH's hernia hasn't healed up quickly.


Pleasures for today:


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Took car to garage and, once up in the air, you can see the driveshaft is wobbling around hence the steering problems!


3) My certificate arrived for my online course (Mcculloch).


4) Tidied the garden up and planted some pansies and cyclamen.


5) Went to talk to dad and hoovered the car out, which is unusual.


6) Bathroom! A builder is coming tomorrow night to assess the state of the bathroom. Naughty builders then want meeting with me and the new builder but that'll have to come after I get back from holiday.


7) Got euros from the village shop - what a palaver! First she wanted my passport but it is in my married name (different from my bank account) so she then had my driving licence. :-/ Got some now!


8) Mussels for tea.


9) Made sloe gin.


10) Sons back tomorrow. :-)

Well done, Frith! It seems such a long time ago that we did those courses. Mine was offline. I got accepted as an inductor for those and did quite a bit of training for it, as it's rather a complex process to say the least, but nothing came of it.

1. House is cleaner and tidier, though Dr C. did point out that he could have done what friend did for zero cost and in half the time. Probably true, but he is literally half her age.
2. Friend decluttered two pairs of jeans that were too low cut for me. I'm quite a bit taller than her so hopefully they expose less on her than they do on me.
3. I won a bottle of wine at the music club and got a round of applause and some cheering. I had no idea I was so liked - it was genuine, not ironic. I do the club's Facebook page which is several hours of work a week, but worth it, as it brings us new people and gives a lot of pleasure, with the videos of performances that I film and put up each week.
4. Magazine in post with lots to read.
5. Prospect of a shopping trip with buddy if arthritis pain is controllable. First for a year.
Not a pleasure, apparently the Christmas tree has been put up in our town centre already. Sheesh.
I joined the Christmas prep thread and it's lovely, but my prep does not involve anything to celebrate the event until Dec 1st. Which includes music and putting up decorations (making them is a different matter of course).

Evening all! Beautiful evening here, we've just had the most delicious stir fry using up some scary fridge veg , noodles and chopped up end of roast beef I brought home from work.....getting too near my knuckles on the slicer! I'm not a beef fan so I picked all the bits out and enjoyed the veggies!

Finished work at 1pm and just a wee wait for a train.

Quick hello son, hello dog, hello daughter and friend just in from their first exam , quick change out of work shoes and off out. Popped over to boss and sat in her garden for a couple of hours chatting which was nice.

Home , via a bank, I'd found someone's unsigned bank card on the pavement so was honest and handed it in.

Home & chatted with kids. DS got the Halloween stuff out of garage and checked there were no real spiders in it. Decorated the back porch and the veg patch !

Made the very nice tea, which was so quick and easy to make .

Walk with OH to post office to post a birthday card.

Then probably bed soon.

Hope you all have a lovely day

Morning

BoP - Slice for me as well please, that looks yummy
Greywitch - Hope your husband is better soon and you get through this patch with the help of this great site.

Pleasures for yesterday,
1. Missed bus to work but just as well as got a call to say don't go into the office as still a building site best to work from home. I don't really like working from home but was glad of it yesterday.
2. In my lunch hour I popped to Mr.T to do some shopping again not really my first choice but was handy and quick and we needed some essentials. I have to travel to the NE for a couple of days at the end of the week so meant I could leave DD and OH easy to prepare meals.
3. Think I got caught up on the most important work emails just 40 left to go through now in the main mailbox and should just be a few in the other one but need to look really.
4. Yummy chicken, cashew nuts and noodles for dinner. Quick easy and tasty.
5. My brother has said I can stay at his house on Thursday night so don't need to book a hotel. My DP's only have a 2 bed house and other brother will be there as well so stops any arguments over who gets the room and who needs to stay else where. Not looking forward to Friday as going to a funeral but have to look on the positives and get to spend time with my family and get to see some amazing country side as it is in the Cleveland Hills.

Hugs to all who need them. Mhags hope you manage to get some help for DD, when my DD had some counseling recently it really helped her and has given her so much more confidence and helped her not to be too hard on herself.

Iced On!

I missed the boat! Early Train! Xmas prep, no. ours is done. No crowd crush here! Kettles on &. Mind you, you'll get a rosey with the cake! And got to say it. POND LIFE!

5 Right, that’s me Chrimbo sorted. No crush at the emporiums of waste for BoP and BoPsie. Cake well oiled with Bells, cheap and reduced at the rzW8 plaice. Now, we do not nose about wheterht o go full cold turkey, and have …

4 While I am in the mood, Parma Violets are on the table. Now you nose I am always on abit sharing and caring. Well BoPsie, she is in photo from t’other day, is so kinded to BoP, that she left him a sweetener (BoP very susceptible to enticements) for doing her Cake of Christmas, that she left me some choccies for the day. Now I could had shared them with you lot, but it appears the packet is already empty. Hence the parma violets!

3 At the salt flats this morning. Have you noticed that the shops give you bull? All the packets clain theirs is from the flats. Well our salt, on top of mountain, never did reach the sea. But, as every roman says, it is well worth their salt. Hence the word, Salary. Now we at the flats do not get a salary, but a pittance. It is the richness and goodness we do it for.

2 Remember, Remember. Count down has started!

1 If you believe that, I am afraid you’re done for.

Remember do not promote evil. The emporiums are full of tardy trash, disguised as an extortion on the pockets.
