    DD has decided she wants to watch Superscrimpers and has seen the first few episodes. Tonight she told me she had come up with a good idea for keeping warm. She suggests cutting old socks open to flatten them out, and then sewing them into a blanket. I hope she forgets about it soon, or I will have her presenting me with piles of outgrown socks ready cut open and pestering me to start sewing.


    Oh, thats very cute Lydia.

    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Oh, that explains it. I missed them. I expect the music put my senses into shutdown.

    Graham Norton's doing eurovision final. Am I the only one who dislike his presenting? I find his voice grating.

    Dh can't sand him. I don't mind him so much. He reminds me of an old dog I

    Get a cheap single sheet ready ... and some good craft glue/PVA/whatever. Then tell her how it's a great idea and they can be glued to a sheet rather than sewn together... then pass them back to her.

    I prefered the drunk, cynical & condascending Irishman. (Although I'm obliged to somewhat dislike him too - for not waving payment for the children in need gig.)
