    Morning Dove, Biglad, Hazel and SGL.
    @Biglad - Ruby was right - I confirm her identifying. These are your next generation of Cyrils or Brians. If you leave them exposed the little birds will find them and do you a huge favour!
    Hazel, SM dash was nice and easy I actually got everything I needed - plus 3 lavender plants leapt into my basket. Glad you like the cartoon.

    Thanks folks. They were fairly exposed but I binned them anyway.

    I'm planning to touch up the lettering on my parents headstone as well @Songbird-1. Do you think you need permission? I'm going to get in touch with somebody about the best paint to use anyway, I think. They're over 200 miles away in a different country so it needs a bit of planning.

    Hello all.

    Son 2 rang this morning to ask if I would be willing to make salads for 40 at his birthday BBQ on Sunday. I had already offered. It's the day after the baptism of their baby boy so there will be family who are staying for the weekend at their home and in B&Bs. Son has been working, dentist, and his lovely wife has her hands full with 5 little ones.

    I've been shopping for ingredients this morning. I'll prepare it tomorrow morning. Should be a fun weekend.

    @Songbird-1 .... forum member @Lyn and her OH are stone-masons and have spent much time re-furbing gravestones and war memorials .... maybe she could advise on something that'd look good and last.   :)

    Busy, I thought arranging salad for 31 was bad enough but you making for 40! I think you and I are going to be very busy tomorrow.

      I won't be red fingered, not doing beetroot, unless tomatoes stain, but I've never noticed if they do.

    Good one Hazel.

  • Topbird I’m glad you’re enjoying trip round Norwich.  It does still sound a good place to visit.  I hope oh will be rested for next part of the journey.  You can get rather weathered on a bicycle.  It will be good to look round the cathedral.  Enjoy your Cromer treats.  LB yes I love watching the dressage.  The horses are so beautiful and elegant.  I hope you managed to pick up all you needed from the sm.  I had a lovely meal today a small portion of rice with chicken and water chestnuts in a black bean sauce, really lovely.  I visited mum and dad.  They’re still under the weather but looking better than they did.  I was rather dizzy today so had to leave sooner than I’d planned, although lovely to see them.  Hazel i hope you and oh find the information you need.  Busy 40 salads that’s quite a feat.  It will be lovely to be there though.  Enjoy the rest of your day.

    Hi RosieBB. I am sorry to hear that you are feeling a bit dizzy this afternoon but it must have been very nice making the visit to your Mum and Dad. Did you get a new phone sorted out the other day?

  • Hazel fingers crossed Alfie is doing well and likes his food and still gets his soft ball out to play.  He’ll be 10 next year.  LB yes I ordered a mobile phone yesterday.  I’ve had mine 3 years and thought I should get one.  I can only text and phone, no WiFi because of US ban on my old phone.  Lily I’m glad you had a better night.
