I think I shall go sit in the garden for a bit, after being cold yesterday it is lovely and warm in the sun today

Congratulations Mariel, I'm not surprised though, the coat is beautiful.

Happy birthday Tsabo.

Vicki, love both the maxis - they look fantastic with your hair down as well. No fear of me ever wearing a playsuit - apart from being too old, I've got legs like a builder!

Nice day here, I can hear next door with his lawn mower out - he needn't think he can make me feel guilty, ours gets done when the garden fairy comes :rotfl:We've got a friend who's a tree surgeon who does our hedges and lawn, and quite often just comes round and does it when we're out, so I'll get home and garden fairy's been! I have to add though, there's nothing fairy-ish about him.

Currently wearing:
grey and white floral fitted shift dress (Tesco sale £7) Must say, I'm really impressed with this, it's heavy stretch cotton and good quality - looks quite expensive.
black cardigan
nude tights
pale pink wedges (Pied a Terre)

I feel a bit overdressed for work - I think it's the tights and shoes. Might change into gray opaques and maroon shoe boots.

exciting Lost!


Ohh I got a butternut squash earlier, so happy. Just prepped it and I hope it lasts long enough in the fridge before it goes bad as it's a monster one!

And I got the best post ever today

How exciting Lost! How many did you put under?

Ooh Daisy, you're making me want butternut squash now. Except I have no idea how best to cook it. Any suggestions?

Lost - woo!

I either spray with fry light and bake for 30/40 mins,
or steam in microwave

Only twelve nine would be a good result.

Alex, I bake much like daisy, but with no oil. For dh I add a teaspoon or two with butter. Roast is nice too, but not great for diets. I just like it baked/steamed then mashed with a fork on my plate. Best of all though, IMO, is butternut soup.

yes soup! I might make soup tomorrow

that would be a great idea. would you be able to add a mirepoix (some chopped celery, carrot and onion)? To get some diversity into you? If it helps I soften my veg in water/stock not ft of any sort. To get veg into kids I used to put a blended mirepoix into pretty much everything when I was nannying.
