    Mr MWC let out a lot of gas at 4 and I've just let out a load more :cool:

    Did you both have cabbage for tea? Or was it just regular beans?

    I've been accepted for another RM survey - unaddressed mail this time for a £5 GV :T

    Risotto for dinner using home grown courgette and runner beans (5 today!) and fresh broad beans gifted to us :)

    I'm planning to go cherry-picking tomorrow afternoon :cool:

  • Mr MWC has told me that his employer's share price is at an all time record high and he plans to sell some shares tomorrow :D

    He hasn't told me what he plans to do with the money though... I'll have to get the thumbscrews out :rotfl:

  • This weekend I will be:

    - gardening

    - baking a cheese & pickle bread (using HM spicy pear pickle) and a chocolate brownie cheesecake with cherries (that I will pick this afternoon) for a neighbour's garden party

    - refurbing my old ottoman - the paint, foam and fabric have all been delivered this week

    - touching up the painted walls that have already been scuffed :mad:

    - applying a wall sticker to the landing wall

    - supervising Mr MWC putting up a floating shelf

    - deciding on which of our holiday photos to print and display in my new photo frames

    - hanging the new photo frames

    - choosing carpet

    - trimming the privet hedge in the front garden (it didn't look too bad but the neighbours both sides did theirs last week and now ours looks terrible!)

    [copied from GG's diary so I can find it easily on Monday morning!]

    Fingers crossed this weekend will also be dad-free :)

    Hi MWC, the plants and flowers are so nice. What are their names? The flowers look like petunias/pansies/cranesbill with longer stalks but the leaves do not. TIA.

    Found it. Streptocarpus Bethan, right? zoomed into your picture and a google search :D

  • Yes, they are streptocarpus :D

    I love that many of the varieties have girl's names - a bit like chickens :rotfl:
