Sorry to say I am very lazy Frank never got up until 11.30 am Fiona you do well getting up at that time 7.30 I get up early if I am going over to Beryls or somewhere but today it was raining so I stayed in bed.
Kim I did not realise it was Winter in Australia silly me sorry. How are you today How lovely going to James graduation Jane what is he going to do and major in. Have I got the right word. well anyway you know what I mean.
i did what Amanda did some time ago and my poor peas were doomed that Sophia gave me. Sophia made such a fuss over giving me some garden peas and I forgot to use them.She saw them in my veggie basket and was waving her hands around like she was having a fit. I giver you the pea and you not use pea. I said ok Sophia sorry lets go and shell peas in the lounge. There we were sitting shelling peas round the coffee table. I nicked one every now and again and they did not taste of anything. I put them in the saucepan bunged in some salt and sugar while Sophia was not looking and popped them on the electric cooker. Big ring. Sophia was sitting yaking for ages about her new knickers that she had made and I suddenly smelt burning .Sophia goes rushing to the kitchen and is shouting Sheila my peases are gone up in flame . I went into the kitchen and the toxic smoke nealy choked me took off the sauceman and tipped water into the remains of the blackened peas did it sizzle and there was a blackened pea pattern all over one of my best saucepans Sophia was spluttering in the smoke and you could smell smoke everywhere. Three heads came in saying is something burning I was like a gramaphone record yes peas. The place still smells of smoke and poor Sophia said I never givva you the pea again.
My ho is funny about Beryl he does not like her and to think he went out with her years ago. She lost my earing she borrowed necking on a park bench. Gave me one back. I pull my ho s leg over that. He once went out with a very busty young women in the days when white polo neck jumpers were fashionable and bras that made your chest look pointed strung up round your neck. I saw him one night after he had taken me out kissing her in the bus stop. I never spoke to him for a week. He said it was his couson I said you kiss your couson on the lips and he said yes I am rather fond of that couson.
Oh my gosh someone else suffered like me on a perm machine I do feel sorry for you .I wanted plaits like my friend not frizzy straw hair .I will change my picture and show you all my frizzy hair later on. Can put the other one back later.
I find this site a bit funny just lately I get parrots up a lot.
Annx my hubby was dead envoius when I told him you had seen Andre. He cannot wait for the cd i ordered for him to come. Bye for now troubles just arrived in the form of Sophia bang goes my peaceful afternoon. I bet she goes on about peas.

It has stopped raining!!! I have managed a quick walk around the village before it starts again. I am having great difficulty with this site today as it keeps refusing me entry into my tree and tells me that there are no results for people in records. I am really getting tired of this and may change sites later in the year when my subs are due. Feeling irritable so off to watch the cycle racing :-(

They will make lovely damson gin Jane. Go round with a big basket and get the ripest ones and only use cheap gin. No need for the good stuff as the damsons will do thei best.
I must just tell you this. I use Car*x hand wash int he kitchen and had washed my hands with it after side shooting the toms yesterday. Then I decided I needed a wee so off I went and washed my hands after with soap. You should have seen the green that came off my hands with soap which had'nt come off with the hand wash!!!!!!!

Thanks Mel.
Well I bought 2 pairs of shoes .One pair very comfy but not as smart as the other pair and they weren't so comfy.They will be going back. I have a bit of a dilemma now .I was going to wear cream trousers to James Graduation,but have decided that my cream Jacket is not right with them .Have got some nice brown trousers which will look much better but they are too long.I doubt I will find anyone in time to shorten them for me now. :-S.I don't know anyone with a sewing machine.Oh I wish I had taken more interest in needlework at school.I don't think I dare attempt to turn them up myself.Life is so blooming complicated :-( :-(

Morning Just!!
Been catching up on your osts. Did'nt get up till 9.30 and oh had gone tinging. He has just come in now.
Rained on and off yesterday but I went up the tunnel in the afternoon and tied all the toms up and watered everything really well. Cut courgettes for dinner with our cheese and tomato sausages. Made a sort of ratat without aubs as I don't like those and had pasta too.
Well it is still wet today so I don't know what I am going to do today yet. Probably go up the tunnel as at least it is dry in there. I need to sow some more lettuce as my first lot are going up in the air!! High rise lettuce. ;-)
I had Bunty from when it first came out with the free ladybird pin. Also had beano dandy and topper comics too and later Mirabelle when in my teens.
Pat good luck for next week with the workmen.
Must feed oh now so BBL I hope.

Morning everyone
Its absolutely pouring with rain here again today so much so that I have a large pool of water outside the greenhouse door. One good thing......no watering today!! Yesterday was the same until 4pm when the sun suddenly came out and it turned into a lovely evening. I am having a quiet weekend at home catching up on the dusting and other chores. I also watched the tele yesterday as there was a mountain stage of the TDF followed by John Barrowman and the last Matrix film which I had pre recorded. I will have square eyes soon. I have done lots of baking as there was no cake in the freezer and have spent some time working on my family tree. I am hoping this rain stops soon so I can take a walk for some air. Frank We have some runner beans forming now and the cauliflowers are beginning to heart. Picked the last of the strawberries a couple of days ago and have also picked two lots of blueberries and i can see more ready but they will have to wait until the rain stops.Everything has grown rapidly since the rain started and even the pumpkins are beginning to form. Jane I hope you find some nice shoes and do not get too wet whilst shopping. As usual I am miles behind with posts but send love to everyone. :-) :-)

Yep, a lot of lazy ol' sods, aren't we. :-D :-D
Ros was first up, and bought me my cuppa about nine oclock Lewis slept till nearer 9.45. Had to get him a milky coffee and a bacon sarnie.
We then decided to put the bed back into a chair. What a game trapped my finger twice. Will be a nice B#### M### Pinch on one of them. All back together now.
As I said I got everything ready for dinner yesterday. H & J will come about 4/5pm and stay till about 8pm. It will give me a change to clear up after they are gone, and catch an hours T.V.
Not looking good out there at the moment. very dark clouds, just like yesterday.

Morning Everyone Are we all having a lie in?We are very laid back this morning.I am just dressed.Chris is in the shower and poor Chester is patiently waiting for walkies :-( I've just put a nice joint of Pork in the oven and now I'm off to Padders which is a Factory Shoe Shop to see if they have anything that takes my fancy.I really need a light brown pair of smartish shoes,but I won't hold my breath.
It seems to be getting a bit dark ,and looks like rain could not be far off. BBFN

Frank ,he says he planted them a couple of months ago.I can just see one at the moment and it is about the size of a saucer
I feel for you Ann feeling iffy with your tablets.If they are making you feel a bit sick sometimes taking a travel pill may help.
I am ready for bed now.Just have to get a new book sorted and then I'm off.So Night Night xx.I'm so glad it's Chris's turn to do the dog in the morning :-D :-D

OMG yes Jane, how sharp the back edge of the heel would be. The plasters didn't always stay in place either.....ouch!!!!
Frank it is fine here now as well. OH said there had been no rain all afternoon 20 miles further north.
We have some beige coloured caterpillars eating the actual tomatoes. I don't want to spray them so wonder if a watering of washing up liquid in water would shift them.
David, can you not hang on to 2 of the dining chairs for a few weeks and then pass them on to who Ellen is giving them to?
I'm off to bed now. The antibiotics today have made me feel iffy......only 14 more of them!!
Night, night and sleep tight......
