I have had a very busy morning, honest, lying in bed reading and cuddling two teenage kittens and a cat crazy doglet. Oh has been playing with the new chandelier for the dining room. It's a bit OTT sparkly and I love it.
2nd coffee being drunk and then furniture coddling for me. Chairs to finish sanding smooth and then all of it to clean down and feed with lovely nourishing oil. It can have a coat or two of that and week to soak in while I cover the seat pads I bought yesterday.
Great that dad is getting better and Chicklet is exploring. Hope you're OK too Chicky.
Pat - Hope your OH is OK too. It sounds exhausting.
Liri - he should know by now to take a brolly if he wants it not to rain! Hope he doesn't get soaked. Yours too LP. Wet golfers not good.
Greetings to all. Hope it's a lovely day whatever you're doing. Safe journey home for Busy too.

Shame you dont live near Pat my conservatory, fridge is over run with conference and williams, have already made hald a dozen crumbles. Someone suggested bottling them, but the kilner jars are so expensive, I have tried storing them in the shed previous years, (they DIDNT!) I would rather give them away than waste them.Sowed quite a few seeds, some from a few weeks ago are ready for potting on, think the greenhouses will be full.
I am awaiting an MRI, but am more anxious that I won't be able to keep still as, ironically, my back is very uncomfortable and I fidget when it feels crampy.
Thoughts to Pat's OH, Chicky's Dad and anyone else with worries.
It is pleasantly warm out today but my back will halt any major pottering. Sometimes it's good just to look and enjoy though.
How do you freeze them Obelixx? I freeze lots of apples, even the windfalls, I cut up, dip in lemon juice and open freeze, so I can use just hat I want at one time.I have still got chutney fform last year.

Hello to all who have come on line since my earlier post.

Home at 8 and into the shower. Started at 7 am.
That's a long day even if you're not 27!
NB - have you thought of freezing them for later or maybe making chutney - just need jam jars:

Have never frozen pears NB but, as with most things, google has some answers - http://www.hgtv.com/outdoors/gardens/garden-to-table/freezing-pears
Chutney as presents?

Spiced pickled pears ... lots of recipes on line ... Delia's is good ... you just need old coffee jars.
