    Oooh, I didn't catch that. Fab spot Hamish.

    To !!!!!!!ise Shakespeare "for that was in her salary days when she was green of judgement"

    Sorry but that's a brilliant lirism.

    I'm sure it's "in judgment", not "of". I did Antony and Cleopatra for A level, and large chunks of it stick in my mind still.

    My salad days, when I was green in judgment, cold in blood, to say as I said then........
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I sacrifice salad all the time.

    :)
    Hamish, are you off the bottle still? I am meant to 'avoid' alcohol on new pills. I've thought a fair bit a bout summer cocktails or the last week. :o

    Off for 5 days a week, still drinking on most Fri/Sat nights though.

    Hello Viva,

    How are the Tifosi family, and lurcher dog?

    DH will hopefully be home tomorrow and is making a good recovery after a hairy few days. I am knackered, going back and forth to hospital all the time and will be glad to have him home. The hospital is not local, so going back and forth isn't straightforward.

    Lurcher dog is lovely. She's more hound than their last lurcher but very similar temperament. She went to my brother's on Saturday and considering it was her first visit and even her first day with my parents, she just padded around the garden having an explore and eating grass. She's very placid - something that lurcher owners love about their dogs. They tend to be very self-contained and easy going.

    we pay the least in mortgage so far but we have another 23 years of payments to go :D

    I pay £297.00 per month, but I overpay, not sure how long I have to go, if I hadn't overpaid it would be about 20 years. About 45k left, but I would like to move at some point as at the age of 49, I've never actually chosen the house I live in. The big question is if the Daresbury Science Park will boost Runcorn's very poor house prices; it's started to near the Science Park, but if it does to my bit of Runcorn is a different matter.

    In a moment to make michaels pull his hair out, I switched to an Ing mortgage because a) it allowed repayments and b) there was no fee to switch...and that was it. Happily at the moment anyway, it's linked to the BoE, so the actual cost has tumbled, though I have increased overpayments.

    I'm feeling healthy at the moment....can always change in an instant.

    One of my hounds is a bitzer, and I'm sure one of her bitz, is lurcher - very houndy, very laid-back.

    PS when I said aged 49 before, I was only 48 yesterday;)

    Random LL strikes again. Firstly, I was outside (crafty smoke) at 07:45 when I saw what looked like a potential burglar's hand reaching over their far fence.... it was the LL (they've their car there). I next had a shower and there was a knock at the door (8am), which I answered, dripping, it was the LL saying they were getting their car and would be looking at/clearing the gutters - although they didn't indicate when.

    Suddenly, 2 hours later, I can hear odd noises..... sounds like there's somebody on the roof - must be them!
