    Miss LRH is looking stunning :T, as are all the girls :j.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I always forget that it takes much longer to make preserves than I think it will :(

    Seville orange curd made :)

    First batch of marmalade boiling - I need to decide whether to use Mr MWC's Glenlivet or his Caol Ila!

    I'll have to get up early tomorrow to finish the second batch of marmalade before we go out

    Lovely photos MWC :D - Miss LRH, a 'rose' between 2 privets, definitely :D

    And I agree with Fortune- Miss W has 'bed hair' for sure - Thank her for being so natural - we'd look like that too, if the 'Paps' were staked out in our gardens taking our pics (never catch us when we're 'just outta the salon') :rotfl:

    And YAY to your productive day :D

    I'm being much less productive today!

    I have finished off the marmalade though - 26 jars of whisky marmalade ready for Christmas hampers :D

    I'm in awe, between the marmalade and the lovely pics, MWC, thank you for posting. Gorgeous.

    Thank you KC :o

    I have no energy and everything aches today even after 2 ibuprofen :( I didn't do anything strenuous yesterday afternoon/evening (unless you count standing up for 5 hours!) so I hope that I'm not coming down with a bug :(

    Uh oh. I have to tell you, I've been poleaxed by the shingles: pain when I move, general tiredness and then shattered if I do more than 10 minutes of something. This is how my garden got so out of control last year .... at least this time, I have anti-viral pills. MWC, if it lasts another 48 hours, do go to the GP ... the one I saw was brilliant.
