    Glad all health related things have been good/ negative news :)

    Have a lovely time in Portugal - weather has been glorious there the past 2 weeks (according to 3 friends of mine who've been out there for the Easter break :))

  • Seconded on the good news regarding your helath MWC :D

    I was thinking of you yesterday - and now I can't remember what for :think: I'm pretty sure that it was food related - I don't think it was just that I saw the 'Comptoir Libanais' cookbook in the library, and forgot whether you had been to it (thought you were going to go at one point, to one of the branches?) Sure it was about something else?

    Which means I've been thinking about you rather alot lately!! Ahhh :D:rotfl:No wonder your ears is burning! :D

    Anyhoo, hope all is well with you in your neck of the woods, and for MrMWC - and of course, the girls :D

    It was the lemons on the tree that sold me :cool:

    I've been fairly busy today - went to the gym, walked to Sainsburys to buy some Euros, walked into town to drop some stuff off at the charity shop, put some stuff in the loft, sorted some more stuff for Mr MWC to take to the tip (and then tried not to get too annoyed when he forgot to take half of it...), done some housework, cleaned chicken coop and picked some salad leaves for dinner.

    Still to do - water garden (so dry here), ask neighbours to chicken sit as Mr MWC is in Germany this week, decide what to take to Portugal and pack suitcase (having remembered to buy them, I must remember to pack GG's teabags!), reply to a couple of work e-mails.

    Nothing to do with the gin of course :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
