My daughter was in a top job in Ambrosia, she left to have her baby and didn’t want to go back. They’d paid for Business degree for her as well. When we didn’t have any money we lived on rice and custard, they used to sell dented or reject tins for 10p, that was when she was younger, before she worked there.

Ouch, that sounds very painful @punkdoc. I suspect you're fed up with soup as well. Very interesting research being published on the medical merits of chicken soup, seems it does have antibiotic properties after all. @Liriodendron, now a sail thingy might be just the job as I could take it down when it gets windy - which it does frequently here. Thanks for the suggestion.
Good evening. Just in from patch and mosaic and have put dinner in the oven so am waiting for it to bake - proper Toulouse sausage, Roscoff onions, red pepper and red toms with a wee slurp of olive oil. Maybe your OH could give mine some tips about making dinner on Mondays @Dovefromabove.
Activities were fun and it's been a nice enough afternoon but is now miserable and wet again and looks like it'll stay that way till Friday so hibernating activities for the rest of the week I think.
@Fairygirl - that pine person was idiotic about his or her first thread about an Xmas tree so I didn't go near that new one but I did go and see what you said just now. Same old same old and thankless too.
@punkdoc - I missed your getting those stitches. Hope it heals soon. Chocolate mousse? Lovely, creamy soups?
@Busy-Lizzie - hope little one isn't too ill and improves soon. Same for anyone else feeling under the weather with lurgies.

I read the first few posts about the pine tree and thought that @Fairygirl had given a good answer so I left it at that. Now looked back, think I would have said forget the pine tree. The poster didn't sound capable of looking after it.
My baby grandson (born 7th March) went to the Doc and he has an inflamed throat, which is why he won't eat, poor little thing. I expect the tube to his ear was blocking up too, but basically it's a nasty cold.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
No @Pat E. This latest flooding is in the Var, a department between Marseilles and Cannes on the south coast. I am near the Atlantic coast and halfway between La Rochelle and Nantes.
