Fakeaway night here and I dug out the electric chip pan I bought 30 years ago to do fish and chips - tho I cheated and did frozen Belgian frites in the oven. Amazingly enough it still works despite not being used for 28 years! I only kept it cos I thought maybe I could use it with water instead of fat to do sous-vide cooking. One day. The good thing is that Possum has found she like s white fish done in batter. Much moaning if I do my favourite Spanish or Indian recipes.
Possum is doing dinner tomorrow and I will be out all day manning the garden club stand here - https://www.rencontres-patrimoine.com/cette-annee/ The theme is water so I've cleaned up my old metal laundry/bath basin to fill with water and float flowers in. I use it in the veg plot as an easy water reservoir for dunking pots before planting and discovered 2 resident frogs so had to empty it carefully into a plastic trug along with a large stone and a pole so they can get out if needed - when the hens aren't looking.

Evening all, back from my little Welsh break. Had a lovely time but nice to be back home. Weather was kind to us and the pub we stayed in served great food and had lovely comfy beds. Hoping to get in the garden over the weekend want to sort out the greenhouse and get some bulbs and violas put into pots. Hugs @punkdoc sorry your hospital stay resulted in bad news. Enjoy your hols @Dovefromabove
Been for a walk around the harbour and then at dusk along the beach … the water a luminous turquoise … magical
Then back through Downalong to the cottage and a picnic of bread, cheese, pâté and tomatoes followed by ice cream while watching a programme about lighthouses on the bed. 😊

@floralies … 😂 … I know …. I read back and thought ‘I ought to rephrase that’ … then I came to my senses … ‘I’m on holiday’ I said to myself … ‘let them make sense of it by themselves’ 🤣

Just popped on here as I was closing the laptop before bed (way past my bedtime!) and saw your post @punkdoc . If you are still up - I'm so sorry to read that it's not good news. I know I am fairly new around here but I do do good hugs. (((((((punkkdoc))))))).

Feel free to rant on here if it helps and be kind to Moira who doesn't need added burdens.
Lighthouses on the bed @Dovefromabove? Whatever next!
