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.

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:Give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we may be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temparate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune, and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.”0 -

It's a lovely pink colour at the moment though as half the gooseberries were red, so kind of a shame to spoil it.But think how seasonally-appropriate sparkly number twos would be!
I have had a day of two halves and there will be another one along in a minute (it's a busy day). 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 xEvery increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

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..."A government afraid of its citizens is a Democracy. Citizens afraid of government is tyranny!" ~Thomas Jefferson
