Afternoon all,
Dry so far ,but lots of black clouds about

Just got out on the garden this morning when DIL turned up with the little ones , she wanted me to look after them as she needed to shop for clothes for a wedding they are going to this Saturday ,so they were here for lunch and have only just gone home ,its been like a mad house here !!!
and they're coming again tomorrow !!!

Easy tea tonight Cornish Pasty ,New Potatoes and Beans.

OH Shirl,I'm hopeless.If I don't write something down ,like how to do something ,poof it's gone lol.Anyway I don't think there will be any need for freezing them this year.

Mmm Mandy Cornish Pasties.Luverly!!!!.When Mum was still in Plymouth ,each time I went down to visit,I would always come back with a load of pasties.I really miss a good pasty.Ivor Dewdney pasties just smashing.
As a child I always wanted to eat a pasty out of the paper bag straight from the shop,but Mum thought it was common to eat in the street!!!!!!,especially something like a pasty lol.
My sister and I would often get one when we visited mum and would sit on a bench in town eating them.I remember Janice saying" I wonder what Mum would say if she could see us" lol

Will I ,Won't I?.............water the garden.It is looking very black now.Have got the light on in here.
Hannah is going to a Garden Party at her hospital later !!!!!!.Luckily there is a Marquee.Apparently it rains every year.She really doesn't want to go ,but feels she should as she didn't go last year.
I went to a garden party some years ago in Northampton and Princess Diana's brother Charles was there.He won 3 pairs of ladies pants in the raffle lol

jANE JUST PUT TOM'S ON A TRAY SET IN DEEP FREEZER--ONCE THEY FREEZE BAG THEM ---Will only be be good for making sauce-or use as you would Tin Tom's---

Had some good Pasties whe I was in Cornwall yum-----

turned on a TV show last night ---Pillars of the earth --Said it was 1-10 parts--Anyone there seen it???

I flipping well knew it.All those nasty clouds have gone and didn't drop any rain at all.I just made James water the garden lol
No Shirl I haven't heard of Pillars of the earth.What is it about?

We've had a little rain ,and it seems much cooler now

I've got a Gnat bite on the top my foot ,its driving me crazy !! once you start to scratch you carn't stop, don't think i have any cream to put on it .

Did anyone read about the poor woman who found a Snake in her washing machine ,it had been through a wash cycle and layed on the top of the clothes when she went to empty it !!
I would have died if it had been in mine .

Wonder how Maureen's getting on ,I hope she's had some good weather .

Spit on the bite Mandy or spit on your finger and rub it on the bite.Or an ice cube.There is nothing better than a good scratch is there.I have a very itchy foot (on the bottom) I find myself scratching it it the night.Do you have any anti histamine tablets for hay fever? That might help.Or Calamine lotion!!!!!
My neighbour has a big snake living by the fish pond .It swims in the pond and then suns itself on the stones.I think it is just a big grass snake.
Maureen said she would be back today or tomorrow.I hope she has had a good break.

I saw about the chap who got those old negatives Shirl........what a nice shock that they were so valuable. MIL usually throws stuff out and then tells us!!! She had some old pot dolls in their original clothes in the loft that we saw when she had it insulated. Apparently a leg came off and they threw them away!!! They had boxes full of old games and books from the 30s and 40s, but next time we visited they had all gone to the charity shop........never think to ask if we would like to keep any. MIL is too impatient to wait anyway, once she wants something to be gone it has to go straightaway.

Jane cant tell much Just has RUFUS SEWELL ((DOLL-FACE)) iAN Mc SHANE--DONALD SUTHERLAND---Set in Robin Hood time-- Rufus is this Builder set on rebuilding a church --Sutherland had his land's taken is in dungon---I've missed the firt part--Hence my ? did you see it---

Ann I will freeze any spare Veggies/peppers corn/ and fruit

jane go to google put in Pillars fror the earth will tell the story xxxx

Mandy make a paste of baking soda --put on your bite

Yes, I just put them straight in the freezer then use them for cooking instead of tinned toms. Cooked Gooseberries though, so can make an instant Fool(!!!) Busy day tomorrow, OH is a Wooden Sign Maker, also makes breadboards, chopping boards, all sorts, all beautifully decorated. We are off to deliver a HUGE sign for a Farm, and Farm holiday complex! then to a timber yard (!!) then Tesco's. A busy day is a happy one as my old granny used to say! Shall take a book!!!

I see they are auctioning off Winston Churchill's false teeth !!!!!!.I'm sure they would have a lot to tell lol
On that note I am off up those stairs shortly with yet another book.I now have a stack of 30 that I need to take to charity.Plus the ones that are in the boot of my car.I think I must get through about 2 a week.
Shirl I will have a google.Will do it now .
Night Night xx

My bite has calmed down now so i think i'll leave it be

Off to bed now , i nodded off after tea ,i had about an hours sleep !!!
probably won't sleep tonight now

Night Night xx

Shirl ,just had a look.....It does look good!I don't think we have had it on TV.I may be wrong and am someone here will say if it has been shown.
Now I am going lol Night Night again.x

Too late again for a chat. Taken Lewis to the club for a couple of hours, had a few beers. Me not him. He now tucked up in bed fast asleep. See you all in the morning.

For once Chris has a WHOLE day off on a thursday.He offered to do the dog walk ,so I didn't turn it down.
e caught Sid the cat perched on the edge of the bird bath last night having a drink.He is getting very cheeky these days.Will send the pic.
After all those nasty clouds yesterday ,still not a drop of rain.What about you Frank,did you get any over with you?

No sign of rain, I didn't water last night as it was so heavy with cloud. Same this morning. But I think I will have to get the hose out, I'll give it an hour, if no sign of rain,will water everywhere.

Morning all
Not been able to chat very much as we have been off in the car alot keeping MIL happy going different places shopping

Been busy tidying up this morning , then I'm off to a funeral at 12.30 , one of the ladies in my church in her early 60's died last week of Cancer. she only lost her husband just before Christmas. and then she managed to see her first grandson who was born in March.
