you're very lucky for your commute Pippi, mine is spent driving along dual carriage ways, the 'highlight' is going over a huge bridge sometimes when there's traffic (which is quite often) you can see the boats on the river.

I like boats - use to love the drive into Edinburgh over the bridge and looking at the other bridge and the boats

Morning (just) off up the west coast at the end of the week I'll give you a wave.

Good luck with the move KK...can't believe it's here already!!! Hope it all goes well x

Pippi - how about quiches to use up the eggs...they freeze well too. We make them when we have a few extra eggs to hand...also bread and butter pudding, which uses up numerous bread heels as well. Or french toast (eggy bread) if you are not into the sweet stuff.

People recovering here at last! I managed to avoid throwing up, but felt pretty yuk yesterday. Feeling a bit better today thank goodness, though still wiped out and achey.

Saying that, I did make your 15 minute scones this morning Pippi, though they needed an extra minute in my oven. Made lots (well, 14) of small ones, so we can have just a little treat to cheer us up every once in a while. Lovely with homemade jam mmmm! Mustn't eat too many though...tummy still delicate. Also DH has gone to work, so must have some left for him when he gets home!!

Been trawling various blogs this morning, instigated by yours Pippi...feeling decidedly homesick for the North!! Wandered off to the west coast and found the barefoot crofter, then ended up nestled under rainbows...a lovely morning.

Need to get outside for a bit and breathe some fresh air...the washing is done and needs to be hung out...not sure how dry it will get today, dull and overcast, with no wind to speak of. Oh well at least the clothes will get a fresh airing....and so will I!! No weeding...too much bending, not good in my state .

Might have a go at some sewing or knitting later...a nice lazy day.

Have a great day everyone xx

I hope you're OK now - one thing though no one here likes quiche, dunno why we like pie, we like omlette - but not quiche, nowt as funny as folk - but good plans though! I do hope you're recovering!

Lovely photos Maty, although is it wrong to say I prefer him a bit messy

I have some mystery flowers in my garden (moved in winter so first time seen them!), I might pop a photo on if you don't mind Pippi as I feel sure you will know what they are!

Being the great plant detective that I aspire to be just describe them on put a photo up and we'll try and help I'm so excited, what fun!

Hope everyone is well. Off to pick DD up from school and will be back later

:D:D -MatyMoo - thank you so so much ok, i know you didn't post these piccies on here for me but i had an absolutely rubbish day yesterday and popped on here and these pictures made me smile - he's lovely - i particularly like his eyebrows - bless him
:T he's very cute and I'm sorry you had a rotten day xx
I agree pippi - we all have so much going on in the way of families / work / bills - some of these things are nice but they have their own pressures too and sometimes it is hard to appreciate something lovely right in front of us when we are rushing around and our mind is on other things.

+ :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: not seeing omelette for the eggs :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

KK hope all goes well today

Indeed - too easy to not see the small stuff or stop and smell the flowers or take a picture of hte view:A

Take care sweetie

Ok right I'm home for a peedie blink (a short while) as they'd say here then off out for a 'treasurers course'. My life IS that exciting.

Egg based dinner of course.

Need to juggle a bit of banking.
Posted off parcels for amazon for womble land big tick, vg, in this months figures woo hoo
Taught landscaping again and now have to write up my evidence for my SVQ qualification thingmy and give them an invoice
Been asked by my old phd department (next door to agri/hort office) if I'm interested in some plant research consultancy later this year (of course)
Not spent any money apart from petrol

That will do for tonight I think. Course 7pm-9.30pm - but after it I'm sure I'll know more.

I hope!

Pippi, that sounds exciting! And starnac, so does your big boy's breakfast! How sweet is that!

And everyone too - still loving Rodders, glad Keiss feels a bit better.

Still love it on mse

DedicatedDFW

So many exciting things going on here today

gallygirl - i like your style with the wine :beer:

starnac - aw - i can just imagine how proud you must have been

keiss - glad to hear you're feeling better

Hey KC

Hi Cheery

Hmm - eggs through the post? in a bottle ready whisked perchance? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks for your kind words pippi - just had a very frustrating day dealing with money places.

I read yesterday about the different places you said you'd lived pippi - where you live now is beautiful (not seen any pics of the other places) and i was interested in what prompted you to move or choose where you live?

Hope the course was fun! I have a pig-keeping course this Sat!! Squeeee!

Here is the mystery plant:


And a bonus blackbird!

Hellebore ?

Google images reveal same leaves but not sure if the heads are meant to droop, do you know? Thanks though, could very well be it!

I like him messy too But he ends up spending all evening on the grooming table if he has been out across the fields

I love eggs in all sorts of ways but don't like omelettes. We are strange folk aren't we :rotfl:

Well done to your big boy Starnac :T:T:T
