I would think the same as sausages Jane.......about half an hour at 350F.......not that I am a cook!! lol I suppose it depends how big they are.

You mean Little Miss Muffet!! lol I think I must have been age 2-3 in that photo. I was with mum visiting a grave, but I have absolutely no idea which church or who's grave it was. I'm glad my legs don't show as I think that was the age I was called sparrowlegs by mum and dad.

Maureen, I know you are smaller now, but didn't know your photos had shrunk too!! How did you do that?? :S

Slightly smaller than golf balls Ann lol.I just don't want to send James away after eating under cooked meat ,and getting the trots.
No No ,not little miss Muffet........How does your your garden grow? With Silver Bells and Cockle shells all little maids in a row.I just can't think of the beginning or the name of the rhyme.

I thought of half an hour in the oven at 180(350),should do it for the meatballs.Heck it will just be quess work .I am no cook either (as you can tell ) lol
Happy Mothers Day Shirl :-)I think ours was back in march.

Sheila ,when is Jess's baby actually due?Our friends baby in Dubai will be due sometime I think in the next few weeks.

Jane Report 8 May 2011 16:54

Hi Everyone Looked at todays posts and love the photos. Will have to try to find something.We have been washing the conservatory roof which is quite hazardous for hubby as he has to walk on it to get it clean but now it looks very smart. Very warm here today with the odd shower. I thought it was going to rain a lot so have cooked a roast pork dinner which we may end up eating in the garden as its now glorious outside.
Going to check the oven and finish my G and T
Happy mothers day Shirley
Ann Thanks for the photo information :-)

Think I've got it now Jane.......Mary, Mary, Quite contrary!! OH would think that was me. lol Is that your doll's pram in your pic? Is that a little romper type outfit you are wearing or little shorts/pants tucked in?? :S

Mel will think her bungalow is HUGE after living on the narrowboat for a week. I wonder what pics she has taken.

Thank you David. I always get the eebie jeebies when I see old film\pictures of men working on things high up. They must have nerves of steel. I used to have to turn away watching Fred Dibnah sometimes.

I will send a pic of a bird of prey we saw near the bluebell woods yesterday as I don't know what it is. I thought it may be a Buzzard?? There were 2 of them. We have seen a Red Kite twice on the back field this year and thanks to Jane I recognised that, but these were different.

Frank Report 8 May 2011 18:38

Well, thanks to Annx I think I have cracked it. I tried printing of the info and I have had to print 12 pages. pulled the plug on the printer after it had printed 6 pages. How do I stop it printing the rest.???

Frank

Frank Report 8 May 2011 18:40

Jane, I may be to late, but you could try frying them like rissoles. I'm sure they will be fine.

It was lovely at the coast today ,the tide was in and there were really big waves splashing up on the rocks , lots of people about all enjoying the sunshine , still no rain here though .

I only had a bag of chips ,but they were really horrible , they went in the bin :P
Did enjoy the Crab for tea and there were no bones in it Frank !! LOL

Now tired with all the walking and sea air ,so will say night night xx

Annx Report 8 May 2011 20:08

Thats GREAT Frank!! I don't think I saw that pic of you before with you leaning on the boat!! Now if you learned to cut and paste you could have copied the instructions to another page and just printed that!! :D Next lesson....?

OH is calling me to watch something about the seas around Britain.....better go...

Hi All
Family gone and peace has descended, Love the photo's of Frank, Maureen, and Ann.
Been dry and sunny but cold for the last couple of hours now there is some huge black clouds looming over, so I expect there is rain due again.

Well James has gone ,dinner all done and dishes in the washer.I haven't checked to see if he has left anything.Too bad if he has lol.I may venture into his room tomorrow.

I had a lovely chat with my old primary school teacher tonight .She was 92 yesterday.What a wonderful woman she is.Mind is on top form ,but legs not so good.She uses a wheelie walking frame.She was a good friend of my Mum and Dad and she was talking of the days when my parents had great parties,especially the New Years Eve ones,and all the things that Dad was involved in with the village.
Hey Frank ,'cor ,you don't half look dashing lol

The changed picture shows me flanked by my brothers Ralph and Dennis.
It was taken at the crematorium 1996

We were together for the funeral of our Aunt May.
This was not too long after I'd done away with crutches following my RTA.

I haven't seen Dennis since.I suspect to next time he comes to Newcastle will be to see me off or to see Ralph off,or possibly Ellen.
