    Morning all.  Off out to the flea market at Les Sables, followed by lunch and an organic potager.  Typically, for our day out it is dull and grey but I suspect not going to be wet.

    Looking forward to the pics Busy.   Happy anniversary Wonky.   Not paper Joyce.   None here except for some very vivid stripes on the landing which we are leaving to last to deal with..

    Have a good day everyone - hope all aches and pains are better today.

    I'm with Obs, I think runner beans are horrible , tasteless things. I like French beans and baby broad beans though.

    I've got an elderly iPhone that I bought second-hand via Gumtree ... think I paid about £75 four or five years ago.  I pay £9 a month for a SIM only contract with Virgin, send several texts and photos a day, make several calls a week and surf the web every day and post photos on here.  I've never ever used my whole allowance.  image

    i grow them ( well,not runner beans) and eat them, but I don't have anything to do with cooking them.

    Dacha - frozen beans, butter, pepper and dried coconut into a container covered by cling wrap and into microwave. Two or three minutes he thinks. image
