Well, as our Persie is busy again I have prepared a little something...

It's food shopping day today so fridge is a little bare, but I can offer the following

Cereals - only cornflakes or bran flakes I am afraid (grandchildren have eaten the others).

Crispy bacon, poached eggs , sausages (only got 6 left but you are welcome to them)!, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms'
(Got hundreds of tomatoes in the garden so I never run out of those)

Toast, crumpets, danish pastries, croissants, (gluten free rolls, toast and crackers) !!

Platters of fresh hams and cheeses,

Half an Asparagus quiche,

No muffins, but I have some home made walnut cake.

Yoghurts and fresh fruits.

Coffee, tea and juices.

Hope that's enough for you all!

Enjoy................

Oh that's lovely Jonesey.....many congratulations to you all. <3 <3


I knew you were 'getting on a bit' but.........well, words fail me!


Not really - as I am a step-gt.grandmother!



Thanks for breakfast Dea...plenty there for me to snuffle through.



Hi Grace, I live not far from Blackpool but haven't been there for years. It's pretty much as has been described by others on here. I was surprised you had never heard of it - I thought it was quite famous in its own way!


Here and there today......... ~~~~~

Have just had a pm from someone I sent a message to re their replies and they can't see the word Community in the dark green bar. I suppose there IS more than one green bar on here but again, it makes me realise how many older folk really struggle with things on here. :-S

I have just had a LOVELY pm Cynths.

I helped someone just over a year ago to find details on his father who remained in America over 60 years ago when this person returned to England with his mother.

The father was meant to follow them back to England but never did!

Anyway, he has now managed to find his family in America, Ireland and other parts of the world and has siblings, cousins, an elderly aunt etc.

He has met with some and is meeting with others and is just SO happy!

Isn't that lovely??? :-D

Had a wonderful sleep last night

the first evening I could have my Sleepytime tea



................ and I went back to sleep after a 2 am visit to the bathroom


First time I've done that since Monday last week :-D


I've been awake every night from about 3 or 3:30am ......... some interesting ( :-\) programmes on radio at that time of the morning!

I know what you mean about clothes Sylvs. I'd no sooner put my summer clothes away than we too, got a heatwave. Grrrrr.


So glad you have had a good rest - you will feel all the better for it I'm sure.


Is Sleepytime tea the new whisky and ginger then??? :-D

Perhaps I might try some 'sleepytime tea' ??

I spend most of the night having horrible dreams and excrutiating cramps and I daren't go back to sleep because I am still in those dreams and it frightens me!

Do you think this would help - If so, what is it ???

Dea


It's a commercial product, made by Celestial Seasonings, an American company that makes lots of herbal teas, such as Peppermint, Fennel, etc etc etc.

There are 2 kinds ............ Sleepytime and Extra Sleepytime, neither contains anything other than herbals.

The Extra contians Chamomile, Spearmint, Lemon Grass, Hawthorn berries, Tilia flowers, Orange blossoms, and Valerian.


I buy it in the tea section of my local grocery store ....... Safeway, but I have seen it in many others.

I've found it really helps.


One website is the Canadian one, www.celestialseasonings.ca .... you could try contacting them, or try .us, and see if it is sold in the UK
