Well a bit of a damper, but we carry on.

5 Just got the snorkers out of the cool box for tomorrow. Just remember that the refrigerator is only to chill BoPsie's wine and the wobbleades.More later!

4 Hit the market stall yesterday and I say, the ladies in the naughty knicker shop know their stuff. Sore ted in there. Then headed off the the fragrance lady, and she knew her stuff as well. Came away smelling of rises, and as you news yesterday, I tested the bath as well. More later on Sunday. Also went downstairs in fragrance shop, as it was big emporium, and through some knives about as well. We are talking canteen this time! The headed to card shop. And remember the problems of the pearl card some weeks ago. Well they had loads of carp, but two Wife Fifty card. Bills shop. Carp Avoid!

3 Damper at the Camera Club last eve. Well Welled were some, did not meet. Oh well another ...

2 Nite BoP is doing his sweet and Sour Ho So Ming Prawn with fried egg rice and toasted veggies. Recipe available on request.

I'm back online at the palace

Did a thread here about it. You have to love Softies, they can only write games. At the mill we correctly call them coders! And we have a programme to do that!

Hope your dizziness is better Mhags.

Just back from a few days away with DD1.

1) Smooth travel out to Berlin, around Berlin, back from Berlin and even better home today on the trains in the UK!

2) He Who Knows met me from the station and took me to a garden centre for lunch where I had a most delicious Chickpea, Spinach and Sweet Potato curry.

3) The Lily of the Valley is in flower in the front garden.

4) Found my 'duck down' coat in Berlin, reduced to half price in a sale and then reduced again by 50% at the checkout when we paid so got a wearable 'duvet' for 79.90 Euros instead of 299 Euros.....Good, good, good, good, GOOD!!!

5) Being home again, doing home things and being warm because Berlin was ARCTIC!

Frith

Ooo, I'd like a trip to Berlin, MrsLW.


Pleasures for today (Friday).


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) All washing finished!


3) 2 colleagues came to see me this morning, bearing a cake plus a present and card from the young man I used to work with. They stopped for about 2 hours.


3) Bigger son went in the forest on his bike.


4) Did very little during the afternoon.


5) Decided to recreate the curry we were given on Wednesday so made a dahl with chick peas. Smaller son not always good at trying new things (better while we are out, strangely!) but they ate masses of it, with naans.


6) Enjoyed watching Gogglebox then the Last Leg.


7) In bed with 1hwb and about to listen to the Now Show or the News Quiz, can't remember which it is.

Sorry to hear about your friend BoP
Happy Birthday BoPsie

Lovin' the pleasures from travellers in far flung places ... including Edinburgh

MHags hope you are feeling better now labyrinthitis sounds horrid

Well hopefully I've had my share of bad luck this week they say it comes in threes - iron ruined by cleaning kit from kleen ese - (managed to get a new one £4 in asda) boiler broke so have no hot water (waiting for heating engineer next week - have dishwasher & electric shower otherwise boiling the kettle) and bottom basket of dishwasher wheels broke (replacements ordered online) but can still use top basket - am grateful for small mercies as they say

So to offset that lot here's some recent pleasures

1. DP's arrived safely on Monday
2. new fence is now in position, garden tidied & lawn mowed
3. weather has been excellent for April. Dry days, cold mornings, sunny afternoons
4. blackbirds coming down to investigate tidy garden
5. enjoying DP's company for a week, haven't seen them since xmas - this week has gone too fast !

No I has not gone soft from being down south too long either!
DD. Riyadh. Was in the town there once to see Al Shahab play some team from Bahrain. Cannot remember the score, but they did not like each other. After the match they were still at it, and we had to get back to Haradh. Only one way. Shove scarf out of window, foot down and think of England. Five screaming England fans, and they parted like Moses doing the sea! Cool there this time of year, though can still be wet. I worked at KKIA! You will go mout from there!

5 Just done the gas and electric, see posts passim. Blighters are only wanting £53 a months at the moment. And our heating is on 24/7 Shocking! See more.

4 With such prices, last night again I did open pan battered prawns for Ho So Ming stir fry. Proper Egg Fried rice, then left over veg, tossed into Ho So Ming sauce, and served with battered prawns. Tum was rubbed.
Please be careful when using open oil pans on gas stoves. It is dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. Please do not let your ...

3 Roses are in for BoPsie and we are talking petals and chocolates! Think she will be happy.

2 Night could be inn town. More later!

All the cake you can eat!!!!

1. Good day at my sister's on Friday with all my family. Easter egg hunt, quiz, food and wine. Relaxed atmosphere.

Sister gave me exercises for my back which was painful but helped by them.

2. Watched rugby and it was ok until the last 15 minutes. Managed to park for free easily which was surprising as no trains.

3. Met friend yesterday for coffee and caught up.

4. Put things back into our room and sorted things out so much tidied but still have a box there as one of the bedside table need to go back as faulty and also discovered yesterday that one of the drawers under the bed isn't opening properly. Otherwise all good.

5. Went out with friends to celebrate them being grandparents. Enjoyable evening lots of photos looked at.
