Morning Linda

I have only ever had Duck that was a long time ago many years we had with Orange sauce, it is not something I like but some of my family love it.

I had a taster of Ostitch once when I lived in Norfolk I didnt like that it was so strong tasting. I think what put me off more so was as my friends and I were coming away after our meal from the restauant we crossed through their Ostritch runs and I thought they were staring at me they had such large eyes,

I have just put my washing into the machine then when it is washed I will have to put it into the dryer..
I think I will make myself a cup of coffee I feel so sry this morning I have already had two mugs of tea.
see you later.

Love
Rita

Baby is just waking so will need a bottle not my job today.

Hope it brightens up later.

Had a lovely duck a l'orange for dinner last night all cooked by hubby, aren't I lucky.

Not sure what we are doing , but hope you all have a nice day.

Morning everyone

Day for my washing and by the look of the weather good job we have a commercial dryer in the laundryroom.

My Granddaughter Louise is 12 today and going through my Family research I came a cross a lot of them named Louise .when family have chosen names for their children I thought it was a new one but it keeps appearing on the family tree.
I wonder if the names comes in our genes,

Rita

Hi Everyone,

Started on the curtains,and not enjoying it ..LOL
I don't mind doing them in the winter months , but this time of the year its too good stay in doors.....I had to today.!

Well to compensate I have some Pollock fish caught freshly caught today from my neighbour ,..... So I thought what can I do to this fish ?? LOL
Got cookery book out and hey presto had a delicious meal.
Coated in lemon for 10mins, then mixed curry powder ,turmeric , chili seeds,
paprika, also 1oz flour .....and mixed it and covered it and fried it ...LOL on a bed of rice, with garlic bread !!!!!!!!! owhhhhhhh soooooo lovely.

But I also liked what you had Rita .......I might have made an effort to arrive at your flat as you were dishing it out !

I' have not got a pudding......but that 's because I'm diabetic and I try not to.

Hi All
Marilyn I miss seeing the fields of Rape like we had in Norfolk and to see the beet crops piles along the roadside ready for collection l miss the field with cars parked and people with their punnets filling them with fresh strawberries and to see the onions that had been tilled ready for putting itnto orange net bags
Happy Days they were.
I am full now after my big dinner I no I should not haveeaten all that amount
my little batter pudding were all nice and crisp and the beef so tender I had roast potates and parsnips and cabbage and cauliflower I even had the cheek to have a pudding Creamy Rice.
I bet I would break the scales if I had any to get on.
Have you noticed how much rubbish we have on the Tv at holday times and weekends we have so many repeats and some were on a couple of w eeks ago they must think we all have short memories. and the amount of sports programmes on is silly why dont they put them on one programme rather than all the chanels carrying some foot ball or sport of some sort. Idont mind some sport but they go over the top.

rita

Oh Marilyn,I can't get anywhere near rape seed. If we pass a field off it in the car,my eyes and nose stream. Yuk, I love the sight off it though.
Come on woman,get those curtains made,you've got nothing better to do,
apart from the Hou*****k, cooking etc etc. LOL

Afternoon....All ..

Its bloody freezing as well Rita,

I have closed all my windows as well...but the cold comes down two of my chimneys...!! so might get them blocked up .but I'll have to remember that when the winter comes back.

We have that lovely Yellow Rape Crops growing in the field at my back ,and what a lovely sight it is. Better when the sun comes out though.

Got curtains to make, I have been putting it off for so long that my sisters daughter -law has forgotten what the material looks like ...LOL

So I might get cracking on that.

Quite good news then MO....hope it continues to be good.

Good afternoon everyone.
An update on my nephew. He was sent home lat night after his MRI scan,and should get the results on tuesday.
The specialist who he is under,was not at all concerned,and said that it was all part off the after affects off the brain surgery.
My nephew is very sore all over his body,this we are told is the after affects off the fit.
The stupid thing is,that they have not been told,if they have got to ring the hospital,or if they will contact them,re the results.
But I suppose if they find anything,that needs attention,they will call him back immediately.
Times like this are so hard on families. And my heart goes out to all,who are suffering in,and their close ones.
I don't know what it's like where you all are,but it's horrid here,pouring with rain,and blowing a gale.
I don't think I will venture out off the house at all.
I hope you are all well.

Hi Pauline
I had tp look something up so logged on here again to see if anyone was awake. ?
It is raining heavy here and is quiet cold too.
I forgot to sk Mo how her nephew was ? and if they had got results as to why ?
I am just writing some get well cards out to send to the troops who have been hurt and are in hospital over here I have only one more job to do after that. I have got my dinner ready and the beef is in the oven I want an early dinner today.
I had a call from ornage my broadband supplier it appears they are upping my meggs and lowering my monthly payments I was a little worried at the time but I emailed my son who is fishing over the holiday weekend and he told him it was fine.
I think I will go around and shut my windows keep the cold out

Rita

Mo, sorry to hear about your nephew, poor soul he's been through enough. Have you had any news about how he is?

I hope the hospital can find out what caused it.

I'll be praying for him.

Morning Rita, looks like you're first again, don't know where Linda's got to with the cups of tea and coffee.

Never mind I'll make them and Linda can wash up afterwards.

Hi everyone.
It's been a horrible day here today. Very overcast and wet. Whats happened to our summer.
My poor nephew is back in hospital. The nephew who had the brain tumour removed,followed with radiotherapy. He had a fit,and the hospital are not sure if he has had a brain bleed,or if it's the after effects off the surgery. They are doing a MRI scan on him today,to see whats going on.
I wonder if Marilyn is back home yet. They have not got a very good day for travelling have they.
Got to go and start the dinner now,Chinese tonight. Be back later.

hi Girls glad most of you are up and about life is toooooooooo short to lay in bed all day.
