    Eggs OUT 0

    I wasted a beautiful afternoon as I was bedridden by a headache :(
    It does mean that I still have 60 euros in my purse!

    Feeling much better now and I was taken out for dinner this evening. White asparagus season has just started in Germany - I'm not sure what all the fuss is about... it was only OK but maybe that was because mine was a little overcooked.

  • Sorry to hear about the headache :(. I haven't had white asparagus for years. Takes me back.

    I don't know but it's scuppered some of our plans :eek: We had loads of garden jobs lined up so will need to get cracking on Saturday instead.

    Best wishes Tilly

    It's dull and overcast here, which is typical, as the last two days have been tropical, but I've been busy. Today I'm working from home and it's grey.
    Always happens when I want to change the beds!!
