Oooh yum @Pat E 😋 it’s a while since I made pasties ... think they’ll be on the To Do list again before long. Tonight it’ll be crispy thin sourdough pizza ... OH loves it

@Hostafan1 Im regarding your current weather blip as the gods’ comment on the G7 ludicrousness. 😠
Well.... they do say " the sun shines on the righteous "
If I hear another comment of " it'll be good for Cornwall/ put it on the map / increase tourism" I'll scream. Is anyone suggesting Cornwall is a secret , unknown destination that needs yet more tourists/ second home owners outpricing locals?
Morning Dove and Nanny Beach. Hubby made Cornish pasties yesterday, so there’s enough for tonight as well. Easy peasy. 👏
No Pat, he made pasties,mabye Cornish style pasties lol They're only "Cornish Pasties" if they're made in Cornwall. The Cornish get very protecive about these things, bless'em. They even complained when a large manufacturer bought a factory , IN CORNWALL, employing local people, so they could call their pasties " Cornish"
Yes, well he does modify them. There’s Turkey mince in them and even broad beans since he couldn’t find the peas in the freezer. 🙄. I’m looking forward to our visit Pasties tonight Hosta. 🤪🤪🤪

No pasties of any sort here but I am tempted to try empanadas with a rather more exciting filling.
Off out early to finish weeding the silk tree bed before it gets scorchio and burnio. 33C this pm and 35C tomorrow so I need jobs in the shade this afternoon. Lots to do before I head to Namur tomorrow for 10 days (I hope no more) of sorting, binning recycling and packing plus all the lovely admin.
Also have to make a picnic lunch for tomorrow and cook a roast dinner since we won't get one tomorrow.
Somewhat bemused by the G7 palaver and wonder why Oz isn't in there too now given the depth and range of its minerals and its potential influence in the Pacific. Relatively small population compared to European countries which makes its GDP all the more impressive.
Amused to see all the head royals rolling out and loved HMs remark at the photo opportunity about looking as if pleased to be there.

Lovely, lovely meal last night and fabulous waitress, very efficient, knowledgeable about the food and warm and friendly too.
It was a bit surreal at one point because the waitress knew 'who I was' (owner of CdeG) and was raving about our brunch and eggs Benedict, a lady on a nearby table heard her and then joined in, was so pleased to meet me, loves everything we do and then asked me to come over and meet her son, he lives in England and she wanted him to meet me, he's only over for the week and she been telling him about her little bit of England. All very friendly but very unexpected, surreal is the best way I can describe it.
Ended the evening, luckily after everyone had gone, with an incredibly painful spasm of cramp up the whole of the back of my leg, I've not sat down that long for a very long time, jumped up in agony nearly taking the table with me.....a good 10 minutes before it eased. Thank goodness there was only the four of us. The lovely waitress was very concerned and recommended I take magnesium tablets, but I'm hoping it won't happen again. 😱
Anyway, back to work today. Have a good one everyone. 🙂

Heading east shortly to pick up a van with a garden bench in, then heading back west to deliver it, back east to return the van and back west in time for the Wales game, I hope

@Hostafan1 you're doing a great job there with hubby, I hope you're getting some support too though.
@Pat E so odd reading all your wintery posts - it's soooo hot here 🤭🤣 sorry @Hostafan1.
Bookshelves look super @Busy-Lizzie.
