REM are still going?

No

I've bought him the REM by MTV DVD

"Live performances of the alternative rock band REM that were broadcast on TV from 1983 to 2008. Their appearances on programmes such as 'MTV Unplugged', 'VH1 Storytellers' and the 'MTV Video Music Awards' are featured as well as their performances at various music festivals and shows including the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007."

REM's At My Most Beautiful was the first dance at our wedding

Fantastic pics from your work trip!


And thanks for the REM DVD note - OH's fave band ever - I feel I need to order it for Fathers Day!

Halved in 3 yrs? - WOW! You go girl!

And the prospect of Gooseberries in the next few weeks? WOW! Are they going to be good this year? We were in a garden a few weeks ago (NT) and the goosegogs were forming and there looked to be a heafty haul (but I know that they can shed as they swell - plus the dreaded sawfly can do its thing )

Happy Friday, happy jam making and hope you're de-cluttering that jet-lag!

Looking good at the moment - less than last year as I was a bit heavy-handed with the pruning but no sign of sawfly yet

Absolutely, great going on the mortgage! I made some rhubarb and elderflower yesterday - only 600g of rhubarb was ready, but the flavours were beautiful!

It was reading your diary that made me go down to the bottom of the garden to see how much rhubarb there was

Rhubarb & vanilla jam is delicious - just like rhubarb & custard sweets
Even Mr MWC likes it and he doesn't "do" jam!

6 jars for Christmas hampers, 1/2 jar for us

Eggs IN 5
Eggs OUT 9 (1 box sold for £2.50, Mr MWC had 1 fried for lunch and I used 2 for my dinner (eggy bread))

Very boring treats today - lettuce/carrot peelings/mixed corn/sunflower seeds/mealworms - but The Girls did get to FR all day as MR MWC was WFH

In money news:
- £5 L2S voucher received from RMS for participating in a correctly delivered survey
- £7.50 off a £50 spend coupon used in Sainsbury's

Still dry here... off for a walk so I'm sure it'll start raining soon!
