Ok. Sorry going twice this day. Just got a recipe for good luck pie.

Chop two pieces of bad luck, into tiny cubes. Add a splash of don't care. Fry until caramelised.
Add waters of tears from yesterday, and dry eyes. Toss with a little up yours.
Add the remnants of left over tossed past caring.
Top with crust of heartened steel.

Bake until you could not care less!

Good evening everyone :hello:

ampersand - £65?! :eek: is all I have to say.

Pleasures for today:

1) Met my new class in my new school. Seemingly a lovely group of children. I already know the school quite well, so that isn't much of a problem.

2) Received an Amazon voucher for completing a survey! :j :j Duly added to my account.

3) Received my stewarding rota for next week's cultural festival in a nearby town. I've volunteered for a number of years now, and it's always a good varied programme.

4) Zumba session. I was busy leaping around, hopefully getting fitter.

5) Large load of washing done. When will I ever learn to only buy clothes which don't need ironing?

BoP, yes of course, as a racehorse Fatty who was 2 on Dec 31st was 3 on Jan 1st.
However he was born on July 5th 2012, so he was really only 3 on Sunday, he was a very late foal.

Boo was a late April foal, so not as bad a delay, but again, she was officially 2 on Jan 1. That does mean of course that a foal born Dec 31 is 1 on Jan 1st.

Some breeders are notorious for having foals born in the early hours of Jan 1st EVERY year, cough.

Posting whilst it's still daylight

Train to work...free and also read my free magazine which someone had left behind in the cafe!

Was working today as a favour to boss , so only in until 12pm but we were rather busy. However an extra bit of money earned

My OH dropped DD2 off for a wee shift and then him and I and Haggis the dog set off to the seaside. It actually took just over an hour which was good going as the main freeways were not too busy ( not true on way home!) . We stopped at a bakery cafe in Flinders for coffee/ hot chocolate for me and carrot cake too. Brrrr to sitting outside with a dog!

Took a walk along the beach as far as we could but tide was really far in so not much sand to walk on. But just to hear the whoosh of the tide and the the sound of it lapping in and out is balm to my soul. Mr Dog had so much fun, in and out of the sea, it must have been freezing on his paws!

Then we had a drive along the coast a bit further and then home with a wintery sun in the sky.

We are having chicken curry for dinner and I'm looking forward to it.

Have a lovely Tuesday , I have 2 whole days off one of which should be very special ....more tomorrow !

An odd yesterday which made its own shape.
Waited for fixed appt fixit person who didn't come.
Raining solidly atm

1. Left when I could wait no longer. Dropped off 2 potted up raspberry runaways for J. Drove a bit and parked under hedge. Bus pass journeys are a bonus while they last.

2. Sorted something out, but even at Library Central couldn't sign in to mse. More books though:-) One terrific mixed media work in the College Art Exhibition, see next pleasure.

3. Don't wander often through central market these days. It's the season of school groups and tefl/tesol tours. 'Town was cluttered' is polite. Life's rich pageant was more Scrum Down 25, as per fab. painting in Library. Dainty visit to Hotel Chocolat was &'s escape.

4. Sudden Big Rain so hopped on a Never Before bus to a Not By Choice Again town. Took well over an hour. Broke down with some miles to go. Decanted, we boarded replacement which met another oncoming on a narrow extreme curve...impasse for 20 mins. Regulars were saying this often happens. Eventually passed each other, mirrors kissing, even though folded in.
At least there was emporium free coffee at journey's end. Wandered about a depressed, yet supposedly historic, feeling place. Not for &.

5. was the number of reverbes, for total £8.17p!...whcih sounds quite something until I tell you £8 of that was in & jacket pocket, still no idea when/whence cometh. You can work out the other coins of realm:-)

mhags - ' I have 2 whole days off one of which should be very special' - so I've pinked it in anticipation. Cake mention frequency is on the up, I note.

I am very angry about this:
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/06/terminally-ill-benefit-claimants-asked-when-they-expect-to-die-mp-says

-not just for its substance but for the 5-year sentence which will be littered with filth like this.

Once again an ignorant humanoid intervenes!

BoP is still in winter hibernation down south. More later. But fur now, lead not to temptation...


Oh balls, come on I know a shortcut!:beer:

) Waking up to lovely gentle rain this morning, I went out in my dressing gown and opened up the hothouses and then stood out for a couple of minutes enjoying it, until summoned in for a cuppa.

2) Cutting seed heads to hang up and dry for winter vases, I had a couple of huge alliums which have dried on the plant and lots of nigella seed heads which are like balloons on sticks. All hanging up in the summerhouse now out of direct light. I'll spray they silver/gold and they'll cheer up a winter room.

3) Trying a new recipe for supper, a mousakka made from courgettes not aubergines which I don't care for. Using some of the courgette mountain makes me happy.

4) Just going up the garden to water, one of the best times of the day.

5) 2 lbs more of french beans picked today from the tunnel are in the freezer, I DON'T HAVE TO EAT THEM!!!!! going on strike if they give me many more!!!

Pleasures. Well at mill, sorted test out. Boy, we should see it, feel it and boy, we will breathe it as well. Kerching. Checks pockets. Loaded.

1. A lazy evening in today as we were both pretty tired. The evenings go pretty quickly when OH has been working as gets in a little late and by the time we've eaten it's always later than we think.
2. Friend texted and suggested meeting up for coffee tomorrow. I have suggested they come over to mine for buns as I'm clearing out the freezer and want to get them eaten.
3. Got through the working day with no cries (this is big deal)
4. Arrived home to find my new bargain boots had been delivered. Summer is the time to buy winter boots!
5. Had lovely home made ratatouille for dinner; even if I do say so myself!
