Come on ... hands up ... who's got the tennis on and who's got the footie ...? Who's got both (two tellies!!!? ) .... and who's sitting out in the garden with a floppy hat and a glass of something chilled ... 🍹⛱
I was driving about Devon and Cornwall delivering goodies to folk.
Just in from a perfectly splendid day with sister & BIL spent with my daughter and family. Helped daughter plant the planters with the goodies we bought from the GC the other week - she'll get there as a gardener eventually! Fabulous food cooked by SIL then a lovely walk along the river before returning for pudding - Eton Mess, perfect. Sister and BIL now gone back to their accommodation and they leave in the morning, popping in here for a cuppa before starting their journey. We'll all sleep well tonight.
I had a good weekend with Daughter 1 and the grandsons. My breakfast room is now full of the scent of roses from her garden. But my bedroom was 30° when I came home I looked at the max/min thermometer outside in the shade and it had been up to 37°! It was 25° at 9.10pm.
Sounds a lovely day @didyw, Eton Mess is one of my favourites. We had a chicken BBQ with salad followed by strawberries from daughter's garden. Best ones I've had this year. The blackbirds keep eating mine.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Punkdoc, when we lived in Canberra, our next door neighbours were from Iran. We used to take it turn about Saturday nights to eat at each other’s place. We love Persian food and still cook some recipes. The wife was a 19 year old bride when they came here and she was fascinated by our foods. Couldn’t believe her eyes when we cooked a whole lamb leg roast. They only use small amounts. 😂😂😂. Needless to say we bought a very good cook book so that we could continue to explore they cuisine.
Dove I’d have loved to hear the Cardiff singers. TVis really boring here at the moment, and I’m sick and tired of political rubbish. As if we cared what they do. 😡
I’m rather pleased to note that our mother roo and her youngster have returned to their favourite morning sun spot behind the house. It’s a relief, since I’ve not seen them since Hubby heard the midnight shootings next door several nights ago, and I’d worried that they had been shot. 👏👏
It’s a public holiday today for the Queens birthday. We might still wander into town for a few things. Aldi will be open. 😁 Thinking about birthday holidays to celebrate royals, when I was a kid, we used to have Queen Victoria’s birthday holiday on 24 May. It was known by us kids as Cracker night because we would spend days building up a huge pile of branches to have a bonfire and fireworks. (Hubby doesn’t remember it, but he is younger).

did you record Cardiff Singer of the World? It started tonight … there was a fine tenor and I really enjoyed the mezzo.
Night night all … sweet dreams …
