    Edited because it was a moan.



    I just wrote out a whole series of !!!! events that have been going on since last week but it ended up far too long so deleted it.

    Some people are darn right awful :(

    Went to the church jumble this morning and all the ladies are saying the lack of vitamin D is getting everyone down, they may have a point but I don't think Vit D will stop me moaning ;)

    The price of sugar is :eek::eek:

    Now the heavens have opened yet again!! I did see a crack of blue sky for ten minutes this morning so I'm guessing that's my lot.

    Well since I won't be eating it.....................
    It's a lovely pink colour at the moment though as half the gooseberries were red, so kind of a shame to spoil it.

    Smiley:- Hope you are ok?! I didn't see what happened so I can't comment. Have a :coffee:, A :EasterBun and a :grouphug: pet. xx

    I have not had gooseberries for years. I always sneaked around the back of my Gran's outhouse to pinch her Goosegogs! I always ate them green! No patience when you are a kid :rotfl:

    :D But think how seasonally-appropriate sparkly number twos would be! :D

    I have had a day of two halves and there will be another one along in a minute (it's a busy day :p). It poured with rain this morning and has got sunny this afternoon and evening. I have taken strawberries to a pal and she has sent me home with h.m. scones. Nomnomnom.

    Going to t'flicks with a pal. Haven't been to the movies for AGES. Actually, I think it was Avatar, to give you an idea of how long ago.

    Smileyt, I missed whatever it was but (((((hugs))))) anyway.

    I can hear on the news that the Higgs Boson has finally been found. I'm thrilled - told them months ago it was probably down the back of the sofa, and now they've found it.

    Well, have spent the morning planning something for next month which took a bit of working out and then the afternoon was devoted to rummaging in the allotment shed. I normally just chuck stuff in there and get the s p i d e r s to pass out any spades or rakes which I need, but needs must. Have reached the Back Wall. This is roughly on a par with finding King Tut's tomb. Have found some things I didn't know I had, as well as a lot of carp which should never have been kept in the first place.

    Oooofff, time for a cruise around the interweb, quick bath and change and go to Ye Olde Picture House.

    Have a great evening. GQ x

    Result Fuddle!:DOn the internet especially as you seem to be a little bit out of town...

    I usually try the "Nice" approach first and even as a bloke play a bit dim.

    What's the saying about using honey to catch flies or something?

    I've just done a shop, got home and realised I forgot one item I really wanted:mad:marmalade and yet remembered everything else and some items I did originally plan to get.

    I'll manage. There's always tomorrow.

    I didn't do too badly though. I bought a splatter guard to go over the frying pan(Only cost around £1)and some roasting bags(10 for £1.13)so I bought 30!:pand they can used in the microwave too.

    Now if I learn how to add some flavours when roasting...

    Until being on here I would never have thought of them...

    As for the weather I have never ever seen rain like it. I know Mum would've be saying the same and yet now the sky is blue and there are some fluffy clouds...
