Oh dear me.....I cant remember


Can I re whisk Yorkshire pudding batter after its been left over night or do I just pour into the hot tins :-S

I seem to remember my mom saying, it will knock all the air out of it if I whisk it again :-S

Mornin all~~~~~~~~~~


Cenotaph service....................what do you think!


Thank you for breakfast Sylvs <3




Lovely weather today, sunny and crisp

Good morning all :-D


Thank you for breakfast Sylvs.......lunch looks wonderful and I look forward to it when I get back from you know where. Have you thought of googling for OH's cardi to see if anyone else in your area stocks it?



Gin? You must surely know what a Cenotaph service is ?? :-S :-S :-S


We have a large gathering at our local Cenotaph which is within the church grounds. It closes four main roads and needs police escorts. It is lead by local clergy and, each year, there seem to be more and more young people joining in. Very moving, especially the Last Post and the lowering of the flags.



Linds, hope all goes well tomorrow <3



Must go......~~~

Good morning all :-)

I am starving!! - It has taken me over 3/4 hour to get in to breakfast!!!

I arrived around 7.15 but the silly computer wouldn't let me in !! :-( :-( :-(

Had to restart it all and it took AGES to get it to close down !

Anyway - here now - lovely breakfast Sylvs <3 <3

Hope you get things sorted tomorrow Linds <3

oo'er


that last posting of mine was 41,300


:-D :-D :-D :-D

retail therapy trip half successful, half not


couldn't find anyhting close to the cardigan that OH said he would like .............. he has one he loves that we bought about 2 years ago. Have hard work getting it off his back! It's made of cotton, but is very lightweight.


BUT



I did find 2 pairs of trousers for me ................ half price :-D

Gins Yes I knew he had stopped taking that tablet but didnt know which tablet Doctor was talking about until OH came home and told me it was the same one. This is when its a pain that they cant discuss anything with anyone other than the patient :(

Will now just have to wait until Monday :-|

:-S :-S :-S :-S


not sure what you mean, Gins



In Canada, every city, town and village has a Cenotaph


Services are held at ALL those Cenotaphs on Remembrance Day ......... with parades of veterans and serving servicemen and women. There is a standard service, wreath laying, etc etc.

The Remembrance Day National Remembrance is at the War Memorial in Ottawa

Cenotaph services.........is that at Meadowhall?

I'll be downtown having some retail therapy when you go to bed, Cyns :-) :-)

It'll be fine for tomorrow morning, for all the Cenotaph services and events ..........


....... but rain is due later in the day.

Of course I knows what a pin is..........it's a pint with the 't' missing! :-D


Just back from taking daughter home - so a couple of hours and then it's bedtime!!

Dea ................

My OH never wants me to go with him to the docs, no matter what for.

He refused point blank to let me go when he went to hear the diagnosis about his colon cancer ..............


..... then came home, and said "Dr. xxxx said you would have been very welcome to come with me ............."


I think the only time I have actually been there when he has been receiving any information from any doctor, dentist, optician, etc was when he had to go back into hospital after the colon operation, and they realised they needed to do another operation ................. and that was solely because J and I were at his bedside when the surgeon came in, and OH couldn't send us away.

As a result, I have to dig to try to find out what has been said .......................


and then I get told I'm nagging :-D

Its 4c here.........and dropping

:-S :-( :-0 :-S :-( :-0

Hi all
xxx




another sunny day ................ about 6C outside :-D

It got down to 0C at the airport (official recording station) overnight, but only to about 3C here at the house.



I do have the patio window open to cool this room down as the sun is streaming in.
