    Afternoon all,

    Just got back from Gunwharf and Commercial Road in Portsmouth (did a lot of walking today from one to the other, as I know a place I can park by a school that is free for parking). The weather here's been lovely, although it's getting quite nippy now.

    Have been along the road to collect the windfall apples from the freecycler, and she's left me a whole Mr T bag full of them (well she had left 3 bags actually, but I decided that 1 would be plenty). I bought a bag of half price bramleys from Mr W on the way home, so I'm off now to turn them into a crumble.

    Moon is outside taking out my car radio and autochanger, as the garage will not be having those when they get the car, as Moon got them as a graduation present for me. I've got just over 1/2 a tank of petrol left now, which will be used up a bit more when I go to work on Tuesday, and if I work tomorrow, so the garage won't be getting too much petrol out of me either. I know this all sounds very mean, but seeing as they've valued my car at £250 :( I'm not giving them any more than I have to.

    Well I'd better get going on making this crumble before I lose the will to do so. I'll take the rest of the apples that I don't use to my M&D tomorrow when we go to dinner, as my Dad can make a crumble then too.

    Happy flying everyone, and hope you're feel back to your normal self soon tootles.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Sexy can't you syphon out the petrol

    Ironing all done, hoovering all done all seems a bit futile though as I've just found out a Mum at school passed away yesterday. She was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer about a year ago and has fought so darn hard but the odds were always stacked against her. She was 38 with 3 kids between 2 and 10. My thoughts are with her parents, husband and children for I cannot imagine how they feel today.
