Morning everyone..It's a new week...11/08/2014

First topic message reminder :

I think when cumber is peeled it looks nicer sliced up.  

I have a jar of Cranberries Bond and I put a spoonful, teaspoon, to a salad, just my salad, or in a batch with chicken, every so often.   but grapefruit I've not had any for years and years,

Avatar.....St Mary's Warwick Don't know who the woman in pink is......

I've not seen a fly around for years, I remember talking about "Where's all the flies gone?" to Sylvia and Tony once.

Carole, you and I must have been twins in another life!
We have so much in common that its amazing. 

I have raspberry vinegarett(?) on my salads too! 
the only other one I use instead of salad cream or Mayonnaise
here is Ken's Steak House Buttermilk Ranch.
It only has one flaw, it does not have a little cap on it 
like some of its other dressings so it can come out
in a rush. I learned to save them from other kinds
so I can squeeze out just how much I want. 

Had some tinned peaches yesterday but the evaporated
milk was nothing like the English one. 
I also have some fruit cocktail. 
I bought some nondairy ice cream made with Almond milk
to try.  I still like the non lactose vanilla best as I can put all kinds
of topping on it. (Usually some kind of fresh fruit)
I also like the real fruit juice ice lollies by Dole. 

Finally got the two filtered water jugs going. 
In this heat it is hard to keep British cucumbers for very long. 
I do not like the American version. 
Half of one would do me but they do not do that here,
it's all or nothing. 
I can get Pickled beetroot in my regular grocery store.
It's in small chunks, not slices but it tastes the same. 

I have been rationing my intake of grapes (both green and red)
and had no problem since. (seedless I might add)
Bought a small wheel of Brie and sliced it up on to crackers.
With a half glass of chilled white wine YUM YUM! 
It's like a fancy picnic! 
(Not too much Alcohol in this heat) 
I drink San Pellegrino sparkling natural spring water as well as it's not as fizzy
as the French one. Its just to vary the edict about drinking more fluid.
It comes in 16.9 fluid oz bottles. as well as the regular sized one. 
just right for a picnic. It also cuts down on drinking the canned soft drinks.

Its 71f right now and humid so got the fans running to cut down on
the humidity indoors. They are on low at present.
moving air evaporates the moisture. 
Only found one fly yesterday! 
The rest wanted out as much as I wanted them out!   
Cannot use fly spray in the house, because of my asthma. 
It's the good old fly swatter! 
My large size one is as good as a whip! 
It makes a pleasant Slap sound when I get one. 
Yes, there are fly traps of different kinds.
 
I always remember the strips you unrolled and hung up.
Not a pretty sight! 
Especially in a Butchers shop!  
Got to stop waffling and get cracking here. 
TTFN XXX

They are times of the year that you do not want to be in Sydney.
They have a fly problem there. No one prepared us for that.
People were just ignoring them but to someone who comes from 
a relative fly free place, it made me feel sick. 
Bondi beach was just as bad as elsewhere. 
No BBQ outside! no stroll on the beach or walk in the park.

Thats why the bush hat with the corks on strings in case you are
wondering!

Hi ,that's the way
I will have to copy the name down but I don't buy any books I still have five if the set of six from my mate and I'm seeing him again at the beginning of August so more to come
There is that one of you sunbathing on Bondi beach,but they wouldn't would they
We went to the huge B and M at Tamworth and we had a dozen spots on the windscreen and that was it

Underneath you Bond.......down there,  have a look.

BTW Rachael bought me this rose bush in 2017 you can see our side path going onto our top lawn.

Hi grow old disgracefully
If you've got it show it , looking good

Growing old disgracefully........that's me.

I love salad but I love salad cream with it.

Was sitting in the garden reading my book and suddenly pitter patter....but away went the chair in Benjie and I came and then   out came the    I've phoned  and she said "I'm fed up of this weather....I put some washing on the line and then had to take it in because the rain started and then it stopped, I could of left it out"  

The book I'm now reading is Sam Bourne's   {Carole is that you writing under a different first name}   it's called"The Righteous Men"       Bond you read it,  Margaret you read it?

07:20:29
Not seeing what your saying Bond as on my kindle
Is Vicky doing a * knees up * then in Vegas 

Btw no salad cream ,Red wine vinegarette dressing  
Have not had salad cream in over 40 yrs

Good morning,a bit of a shocker this morning when I saw this picture in today's paper that miss Vicky is doing a stint in Las Vegas so I guess we won't be seeing her for a time
Greated cheese with the salad cream in the salad mmmmmm mmm

Well done then Bond
There's grated sharp cheddar in the salad could not eat
with out CHEESE ,my Nan often said she thought I must 
have been a . 

Ok storms have moved across the State so   is out from 
under my bed.FOR NOW ,until the next round 

Thank you Carole,I'll catch up later
All seems good now
Nice salad any cheese for the topping

NEWS FLASH
Bond just text me
his WIFI is down

BTW no one saw my beautiful salad ?
I know it is a bit small taken from my cell phone
I LOVES salad

05:17:26
Well Well Well I am late today but WHERE is Bond?
and just heard a RUMBLE of THUNDER,so Buddy has scarpered
off after being here with me
I know they forecast thunder storms today on and off but not THIS early

Had a nice surprise when checking my bank balance just now
my  pension was DUE to go in Monday ,but its THERE NOW
Is Monday a bank holiday there by any chance ????

Vicky I seem to be able to eat a number of food items that at ONE time
are OK but at another time set my tummy off
The pain is controlled with the pills my GP told me to get that I told you about
years ago
Sometimes its too MUCH roughage that sets me off ,sometimes it could be
spicy food
As to Strawberries I only have a few as I have to watch ALL  
having been diagnosed MANY MANY years ago with Diverticulitis
that I have managed all these years watching what I eat like seeds etc  
I found out the HARD way as I was on a fruit kick and LOVED Kiwi
 OH MAN was I in SO MUCH PAIN until Dr asked WHAT
did you eat

Any way did Bond go somewhere and I missed the notice ?

Marge you OUTDID your self yesterday
WHOOPS there goes the THUNDER AGAIN better get off here
I shall return later

Oh I found out years ago what set my IBS  off.....and I know not to eat that food,    though I now know certain foods I can now eat if it's sparingly,  once a week,  thought NOT, no way, can I have strawberries even half a strawberry.

Avatar.....Susan and Matt at a Rugby match at Murrayfield in Scotland 2017

Two for one this morning dont know how it happened but
there you are.

IBS is harder to diagnose than UTI, 
It sounds like a problem having the bladder fully emptying
itself to me. 
I have had all kinds over the years before they were stopped
by a combination antibiotic for walking pnumonia and bladder
infection at the same time. Crossed fingers not had one since!
I picked that up in France. 
I flew home with a plane load of infection from London to LA.
Everyone was coughing, sneezing or sniffing. 
I have had two repairs done on my bladder and still its
not quite in line to completely empty every time. 
My IBS was caused by the antidepressant I was taking.
It's been getting worse over the years that I have been
taking it. I do mention it to my doctor every time I am in there
but she tends to worry more about my blood pressure. 
It has more serious complications I know but having to
either not eat before doing errands or waiting until its over
and I can take an Imodium. Or on occasion making a mad dash
for home is not the way I want to live. 

(The newest treatment is a pill made of a healthy persons 
poo. Its tiny and it does not smell or taste
of anything but it has been very successful where tried.
Its experimental at the moment. 
It corrects the balance in the colon.) 
Luckily, I won't need that! 

I had more than enough with Ian to contend with
when I was in my 20s 
If He had a son like that, I would go crazy! 
He was like an adventurous monkey, 
slightly out of control at times. and we called him
the Energiser Bunny! Up at dawn, and run flat out and fell
asleep wherever he was by 8pm. 
I was on guard 24/7 
He was 7 when we signed him up for a kids football league .
He came in after that first practice saying those words I had never
heard before,"Mum, I'm tired!" 
Peter and I nearly cheered and cried at the same time. 
A nice calm child, I could cope with but not that. 

Time to stop waffling here and get cracking.

If you watch U tube, there is a young man in south London
that does power washing and garden clearing. His name is Ben.

He earns money making videos of his job so he can have people
"donate" his time once a week to do it for free for the disabled and 
elderly. He is very good at what he does. He is always cheerful.
Those are his catch words. 
He does regular Paid jobs as well.  
He is a bit driven like Ian. Boy, does he work hard. He has done
community centers , church grounds, school grounds and play
grounds all for free!
They are amazing to watch. 




 






















Talked To Ian yesterday, he and Rebecca have been sharing time,
each doing some type of recording. Hers is the small dining room
and he under the stairs a la Harry Potter. 
Each has to allot time periods so each can have no household noise
going on while recording. So no TV or radio or using Broadband at 
the same time. All phones must be on mute. 
Or it has to be recorded again.
Ian is still working his way through one of Mark Twains travel diaries.
this one to Hawaii in the 1800s. 
The names of places are tongue twisters! 

Had no sleep last night as the England game was on at 1:30AM here!
I have only just righted which remote is in charge of what.
still have no idea how to record yet! 

I had to confer with 3 different World Cup sites to find out what time
it was actually being played. Seems our American networks are having
problems with the 24 hour time difference past the international date line!
I have found British Summer time, East Coast of America time and one
time that had nothing written except 9:30 No am or pm or where it was
at all. 
I did finally find Fox sports 1 on the #400 channel on my cable
service. 
I have just had some breakfast and taken my pills (Not the 
antidepressant I am glad to say) I am not feeling any adverse
effects from not taking it. 
Got some chores to finish here and wipe every surface down 
to remove anything that attracts Flies!  
its 73f here at the moment with almost the same amount of humidity.

High could be 77f today.  The record for this date was 99f in 1995.
Normal high for this date would be 86f.
Temps are very slowly dropping back to the 90s not the 100s it
had been. 
Its partly Sunny at the moment. Only a slight breeze 
It was 133F at Death Valley yesterday but that is with a digital
recorder not a thermometer. 
It has to be officially recorded first before it can be announced.

If it touched higher and then dropped back down, it does not count.

Hi I remember you saying that about playing restaurant,sort of a up market shops
Emmett likes making cakes and I like eating them

Oh with Matthew and Laura it was "Can we play restaurants?" so we had all the fluffy toys as customers Matthew was cooking in the kitchen  and Laura and me waitresses ....and I'd cut things up so they were food, the number of pan scrubs I bought to cut up for peas.     I often said to David "We could buy them the proper toy food" but David always said  "It'll be a nine day wonder"  it never was,  then it was "Nanny can we play hide and seek?"   so we played that....by then  either Rob or Sharron had turned up.      Though often it was "Shall we play board games?"  from me, sometimes it worked  sometimes it was "No shall we play hide and seek?"

No no Carole not this time when it's Urine Infection but I'm talking about when you have IBS and you're having dashing off to the loo.

Nice avatars
Vicky how can one *find out* what starts a UTI ?
It must be at least 25 yrs or more that I had one
and they have nothing to do with IBS
Just had a tuna sandwich so all good right now

It's 85f right now should make 90f by 3pm ,hottest time of the day

Trying to finish watching some programs I tape
......

Hi Vicky ,yes he has such a busy mind and he knows what toys we have here so it's can I have this two seconds after can I have that ,but his favourite has always been balloons and the pump,
Pumping them up and pulling them off for them to whizzing around the room making a farting sound

Lovely photo Bond.     My friend Janice says the same thing  "Love seeing my grandkids but oh I'm wacked after they've gone"  or when she goes for the day to Ben's  she can't wait for him to say "Well Nanny is being taken home now so say bye bye"   I told her I was the same with Matthew and Laura, I'd keep looking at the clock after a while waiting for either Rob or Sharron to turn up.   though not Jack and Lily they always amused themselves. Though we used to enjoy taking Matthew and Laura, when they got older, to the Motor Museum  or Warwick Castle and places like that   Though Warwick Castle is so expensive now.

Yes Carole sounds like your tablets are working, though find out what starts it seeing you've got IBS  rather than  suffering with it.

Avatar.....which I love,  Susan and Matt  same year on holiday they are both 38.

Good afternoon all well it's lovely here now
It was a bit grey this morning but nice to be across the rec for a hour on the new play things
I've just had a nap now he's gone hrs all action men now so it's been Captain America to the rescue,
So I need a drink
Glad to hear the tablets are working Carole and you are not hopping from one foot to the other so much

04:55:32
Morning from another HOT and HUMID Bridgeport CT
our high AGAIN will be 90f PLUS the humidity so will
FEEL like 100+ Saturday we will have THUNDER BUMBER storms
on and off all day before SUNDAY  the high will be in the
80's BUT humidity they are saying ONLY in the 50's

Well today 45 yrs ago I had  over to Plymouth
for Wendy's wedding as a surprise on my own ,stopping in to see
my Dad the first week in Worthing ,my Dad knew I was coming
but Wendy and my Mum did not so I had everyone running around
to increase  the meals/ buttoneers  by one etc

Left Tracie in charge of the boys {she was 18} ,but as is with the Bourne luck
THINGS went wrong causing me HEADACHES while in the
Spencer it seems got my car keys and one of his mates who I hated
and STILL do took my ,but Tracie saw them ,the kid THREW
my car into reverse instead of Park and my car was rolling into a main road
THANK GOD it did not hit anything or ANYONE

I am SWEATING sitting here
 my coffee so I can take the rest of my pills I take in the am

The pills + Activia seem to be working as the pain is almost gone
I saw the results of my urine test as we have what is called
"My Chart" with my insurance it sends you results of blood tests reminds
you of appointments and allows you to send a  to your DR
and also order your pills etc
The P.A. said she would review the results and call me if they had to change
the antibiotic from what I have now
SO I await for a

After I went into bed we had a few thunder cells drift down from the north
where they had been quite violent in the afternoon ,a COUPLE of REALLY
LOUD BANGS that sent Buddy once again under my bed
Tomorrow though looks more potent here along the coast

Bond you and Vicky looking like  over night

So all that is left to say is
MORNING LADIES
and yes very nice avatar of Susan  ,can see you in her Vicky

Good morning from Atherstone it's only just 6:00
Up early as we have Emmett again later
Nothing so strange as folk ,back when the main transport was a push bike they still managed to put it about a bit , my nephews lad it's keeping up this tradition he has kids everywhere,
The sky is a funny colour this morning it's got a yellow look about it,
Nice photo of Susan she has taken up the portrait photo or Mat is following Davids line I'm pleased to say ,
Breakfast and it's cornflakes and cold milk coffee tea and a large lemon and lime for later
Over the refurbished rec later with Emmett so may be more photos

Ok guys I'm off to bed......speak tomorrow,


Avatar.....when Susan and Matt were on holiday Susan was 38 in that photo.

I found a third cousin on FB of all places!'
Her grandfather was my grandmothers brother!
my gran was about 12 when her mother died. 

Gran had 3 brothers older than her. 
who I knew nothing about except Eusbie.
It was one of the other 2 that we are related through.
I have 2 family members who have blacked out their
information on the ancestry sites. 
One I know the reason for, a very short marriage. 
The other may be to protect a younger generation
from being bothered by certain people who 
forgot who started it and why they want to carry
on with it after all these years. These children know nothing about what happened back then.
Sometimes it's better to let sleeping dogs lie. 

#1 person is still alive.  #2 is my gran from my dads side of the
family. She upset everyone so no one has contacted each other
since I was about 12. 
We think it was one of her daughters that had it blocked. 

It's a shame really that there might be grand children or great granchildren
out there. They just do not trust anyone who might tell the wrong person.

The old witch certainly messed up my Mother and Fathers marriage.
She had no example of family as her mother died when she was 3 years old
and her father handed her off to a lady I have not been able to trace so far.
I am sure it was not a legal adoption.This was 1893/95

Under a severe thunderstorms watch right again 
outside feels like 101f with the humidity
More of the same Friday 
Vicky I KNOW when Bond says *over Bills mothers " was or is a *saying* 
I was talking about his nephew finding out about his real father 

Flying ants ,HATE THEM ,HAD A NEST under the garage floor what we
converted at the old house into our bedroom with a bathroom and the
washer dryer were ,they used to come up where the pipes were YUCK !!!!!
 When I was growing up they would climb up on the back fence ,my Nan 
would pour boiling  water on them 

btw bond Stoney Stanton rd ?
My neck of Coventry 
Night all

Lovely sunrise or sunset,
The very first Last of The Summer Wine was on tonight, good old fashioned comedy
The thing was I had a pet spider in the window all that corner had his big webs he was huge I used to give a few grams of sugar, so I lot of these flying ants were cought up in the webs but they had to go in the clear up so I'll see tomorrow if he served

That's what I've also heard about the flying ants too Bond.....and when Benjie was going for his walk tonight a flying ant was on our front door,   soon got rid of that.

When Susan and Matt went on holiday 2017 Santorini.

Hi is it a old wives tales is there a day when all flying ant spread their wings and move ,the back window of our garage is black wit them ,I have got rid of them now but I itch ,
I said to my nephew your dad (my brother)was your dad was your dad the only one you have known all your life
I'll go and see if the ants are on the move again

Well it's  but the black cloud is out too.

Black clouds over Bill's Mothers is a saying Carole nothing to do Bond's nephew .  

Oh yes Bond your nephew and his real Dad,   My Cousin Carol often told me to get in touch with my  Dad but the way I look at it you could open a can of worms,  he could be very pleased to find out he had daughters, but it might upset his wife and other members of his family,  

Though a bit of a mystery before I met my great aunt Meg{My Gran's sister -in-law}   who didn't know me and my Gran had to say to her  "She's Winnie's daughter" and she looked surprised and then hugged me and said "It's lovely to finally meet you"    she then wrote me a letter telling me how shocked she was and the rest of the family because all these years nobody in Newcastle knew anything about me"   and when David and got married she sent us a £150 cheque and saying we can visit her and the rest of the family any time.but she and her daughter  and her son -in-law lived in Buckinghamshire  and had the white carpets, Daimler,with live in Chauffer I just felt .....though she sounded really nice on the phone .....white carpets with my two,  my heart would be in my mouth,   I've spoken to her after I had Susan but haven't been in touch for years.  

Oh yes, the mystery, well relatives in Newcastle and Buckinghamshire didn't know anything about me but I remember a relative sending my Gran the newspaper article of this couple who'd had a big do on their Golden Anniversary and he had so many sons and daughters and I said to my Gran, "Add two daughters to that list" so in that case why did they send it to my Gran? 

 Anyway that's the way I look at it.  "Leave well alone"

morning all.

I watched the US play the Netherlands yesterday.
when it was listed for today!

Tough game, the US were not on their game.
You can never tell what will happen on play day.
Score was1-1.  

Got all my bits and bobs including another set of
light bulbs (going to change both) I also have the
grommet and eye screw to tame my stars and stripes.

I think I sorted the problem with the TV cable
set up. Need to change batteries in the remote
that I did not change yesterday! 
Right now, its working fingers crossed. 

You know I mentioned about our fly screens here,
and that we did not get many flies anyway,
well, yesteday I had 5 flies get into my house!

I am guessing that berween the rubbish bins out
at the curb to be emptied, that dog owners are not
being fast enough picking up after their pooch's! 
In this heat the flies multiply very quickly. 

I went to pick up a prescription refill and saw that 
the drug store had spread their water selection over
another isle. It meant that they had the water filters
I needed for my 2 jugs. Yea! The ice maker is
earning its keep! 
It has a filter on it also. Its good for about a year. 
Its not that our municipal water tastes bad,
but our city relies on Artesian wells to supplement 
our water supply in summer. 
I can taste the difference. Flowers and grass don't care.

We near the coast are still being kept cooler than inland.
Its forecast to reach 77f at around 4pm today.
Average for today's date is 87f , High for this date is 98f 
That was 1998. 
humidity stands at 78% right now. 
Not much breeze this morning to speak of. 

Ian messaged me in the middle of the night here
to tell me he is off again next week to do a documentary
type short series. Don't know anything other than that. 
He did not say where it is being filmed.
 
I know I referred to it as a visa but it is one more 
fee to be ticked off that will enable you to cross 
country borders. You do it online.
If not, you will be in a long line to get it done as you go. 
it's mainly aimed at America, I think. 
Seems that they think we are all millionaires! 
and resent us for it.
Wish it were true. Most are struggling like the rest of the world.
Why do you think there are so many people striking here
right now. It's a much higher cost of living here, 
especially in California. 
I could not live anywhere else though.
We were able to prepare for our retirement, 
in a way that most people cannot. 
I am not into material things.  Neither was Peter.

Time for breakfast here, Missy is once again pushing
me off my chair here. She has been fed but won't
remember that when I head for the kitchen! 
TTFN XXXX

Back home for soup and sandwiches
I saw Benjie on the way back I thought David was going playing tennis
No rain yet I hope it stays away as I can find a couple of jobs out side

Hi Carole very nice very summary,I've about done for the morning so sitting with a coffee,
Yes it's a bit complicated,on the morning of my brother's wedding,his best man came to our house out of the blue and said put your best togs on your son's getting married today,and he took us over to Hinckley register office for the wedding I would be 11 when it was all done we went back to Shirley mum's house for tea and cake,in a play pen in the corner was my nephew,I didn't think much of it it just made me well who's that then
Shirley was early pregnant with the next one, they had a house in Wykin Hinckley To move into
And that was that no more said people thought he was my brother's and because they weren't married at the time he had taken Shirley's name
So all these years later he finds his dad lived in Stoney Stanton road
He says his dad will always be his dad this is just another name
Right load up and away

New avatar,Me July 29th 1981 {39yrs}
I was in Puerto Rico with my then
boyfriend Victor to visit his family
watched Diana and Charles marry at 4am ,Vic's Mom
thought I was MAD getting up so early

05:08:20
Good morning ...WELL MAN what ever is in these antibiotic pills
seems to be working as that pressure pain I was getting yesterday
after going pee is almost GONE ,so maybe a combination of them
and the TART 100% cranberry juice is the UTI's BUTT
Took the pill with a tub of Yogurt as the PA suggested √

Weather wise I see no rain for you two ,well not until over night Friday
for you Bond but Vicky will have the clouds clearing to some

This is the part I HATE we are already or should I say STILL in the 70's
starting off the day ,but the weather man is saying AFTER Sunday the
HUMIDITY will drop from the high 70's ALL THE WAY DOWN into
the '50's BOY I cannot WAIT being able to BREATHE again

I feel so BAD for Spencer as they only have fans in each bay {4} at work
and with the bay doors being opened and closed pulling in cars
it is hard to keep any cooler air INSIDE
I know it drains him and he said the same as me he really does not feel
like eating but forces himself at times after coming home

Its like the WHOLE world is heating up and they say its only going
to get worse .did you see the temperature of the ocean off of Miami
102f which increases the chance when and if they get a Hurricane
it will be SEVERE
Even the Atlantic temps are up

Bond I lost the THREAD on your story of your nephew
was he Bills' son?
There was a story on TV just yesterday of a man 92yrs old who THOUGHT
he was an only child until he saw on his birth certificate that his "dad"
was REALLY his STEP dad ,so his daughter did a search and found out
that his step dad had a daughter who was now also in her 80's
They reunited and he was SO HAPPY to know he had a sibling

Any way I will pop in later again
STAY cool every one

BTW Bond does your son and family leave the place in a mess every
year for you to go over and clean it all up while they are away

MORNING LADIES

Good morning all from Atherstone it's bright morning but again dark clouds over Bills mothers,
Talking about our Ancestors my nephew came to see me yesterday he has finally sold his mothers house ,she died in the new year my brother died a few years ago ,he has always had his mothers name not his dad's and he told me that his mother told him his birth fathers name ,does he look it up he may have brothers and sisters,
It was something that was never talked about even when he was at school with his brother both with different names ,I suppose it's not so odd today with joint families but getting on for 60 years ago it would of been a playground talking point ,
Over to Bedworth this morning to tidy and bring back my kit so should be finished before midday
First breakfast,tea coffee and a large lemon and lime for later

Well done Carole.......I've been doing my Ancestry .....I've got all these relatives in New York various different places, we've been looking at the houses, some really swish, no I wouldn't try to get in touch.

You said it Bond how clever they were and no tools like we have now, though we still have to do the jobs, and in the way they used to do it on various buildings.

Right .....speak tomorrow.

Hi Carole, it's good to have news some maybe not so good
It's only been the last few years that I learned where cranberries came from and how we get them
Night night Carole

Well did a urine test at Drs and came back a little blood 
and white blood cells in it 
Have lost 10 lb since I was there last for my physical, but as 
I told Lisa the nurse I've just had no appetite since all this 
heat and humidity started all I've wanted to do is drink
my lemon crystal lite
BP was good 106/76,any way I saw my Drs PA ( PATIENT ASSISTANT)
as my Dr is in London right now on holiday 
She sent a script to pharmacy for an antibiotic that Blaine will
pick up for me in an hour and said to keep drinking the cranberry 
now I like sour/tart ,but man this is TART
I cannot either drink or eat grapefruit due to my BP pills ,and that
was a favorite with a little sugar for breakfast
Any way I'm going to sleep early too many trips last night to the loo

A lovely bit of architecture Vicky I always think could we do it today do we have the people that could do it today
I have a bag of frozen fruit to but into the smaller box's to have with my breakfast, granola, porridge,or just cornflakes,so I put a good size spoonful on top with honey Greek style yogurt this one seems to have a lot of Cranberry and grapes in it ,
Watching the Sewing Bee finals very good but some picked the wrong material
Is it got chocolate again tonight

I think when cumber is peeled it looks nicer sliced up.  

I have a jar of Cranberries Bond and I put a spoonful, teaspoon, to a salad, just my salad, or in a batch with chicken, every so often.   but grapefruit I've not had any for years and years,
