Two Pennies Left

Oh yes!! I like the sound of a bug hotel :T I have been gathering bits and pieces, and have a photograph from a magazine to give me an idea of the structure (although photograph had pine cones, so will have to add these later on).

Hi Fortune

Hope you don't mind me stopping by; I've been reading a couple of diaries from the start and can see that some kind of 'egg curry' has been referred to a few times as being delish

I can't seem to find the entry again but I think I saw that the original recipe had come from you?

Can you recall the one I mean and if so, would you mind sharing the recipe again please?

Regards
ATT

Here's the link abouttimetoo. We like it better without the yoghurt.

The Country Living Fair was a fabulous day out yesterday with plenty of laughs to boot. I haven't added up the full cost yet though so (holds breath) here goes:...

• ...bought two hand-made, absolutely stunning, decoupage photo/picture frames just for me. I fell in love with them the moment I saw them and nothing else at the show caught my eye. £65 :eek: and that was with £6.50 off because I haggled Feel a little guilty about them but didn't William Morris say "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful" and I do believe they are truly beautiful

Well, those picture frames have languished in a drawer ever since I thought they'd be perfect for a vintage botanical print but couldn't find anything to fit. Getting the watercolours out yesterday prompted me to try painting something myself and I had a go at some bumble bees. Surprisingly, they turned out ok. One I'm going to redo as I think it looks a bit amateurish but I think I can get away with the other. Very proud of myself. I haven't been able to produce anything worth hanging up 'til now. I'll see if I can work out how to post a picture.


Other stuff:

• fish pie for supper yesterday and a portion left over for this evening. Yay! No cooking :T
• cleaned the inside of my Landie - hasn't been done for over 2 years
• a successful caterpillar hunt. Not sure the giant mutant cabbages are going to survive them though. Netting is definitely the answer for next year
• found 33p of Mr F's change lying about - I think he may have left it out for me :A Food for Mr Marmite
• a badly overdue manicure and pedicure planned next whilst relaxing in front of the TV

Mr F is servicing across-the-lane-neighbours car today so should be out of my hair for a while. Is it too early for wine?

You're very talented Fortune. If you're beautiful as well, then I'm afraid I officially hate you

Only beautiful to Mr F I think natty so we can still be friends. It's a start. Doesn't compare to all the beautiful watercolour bees I found via G00gl£ but you never know, if I keep practising... :rotfl:
