    Morning all.

    Daughter 2 is coming to lunch today with her 3 children. Daughter 1 and I will go to the SM to buy some more food. I hope we can eat outside but showers are forecast. Bit short of space indoors, we'll have to use 2 rooms.

    Good morning everyone,  we made our return yesterday evening from sunny Broadstairs after lovely weekend with my niece.  Took her advice and left around 7:30 pm apart from a little slow patch at the Dartford crossing it was an easy journey.  
    Dull and grey here this am.  I agree we could do with a bit more sun , tho plenty in Kent at weekend,  but happy we are avoiding the heat of southern Europe. 
    Regards to all.

    Teenage boys do eat an inordinate amount @Busy-Lizzie!  I remember my OH's nephews having seconds that were the same size as the firsts - and then tucking away lots of pudding!  And I'm with you on the eggy front as far as puddings are concerned.

    And I like the sound of your syrup tart and cream @Lizzie27.

    Hurrah for the hols @raisingirl.

    My calendar is filling up fast.  Daughter now on hols too so we are planning a couple of local trips (one to the Sainsbury's Centre @Dovefromabove) but they have to fit in with the Festival planning - the Festival is NEXT WEEK!!!!  And my car has to go in for it's MOT - that's on Wednesday.  Fingers crossed it doesn't have to stay at the garage to have any work done.

    I’ve had another productive morning … a big pot of minestrone made (using up some courgettes and some of the gammon liquor from yesterday). That’s  lunches sorted for a few days. I’ve also cooked some new potatoes and made a potato salad, and I got the mandolin out and made a coleslaw. Then I made a courgette and sage frittata… I’ve had some of that for lunch … then we’ve got the rest along with the slaw and salad and the remains of yesterday’s gammon for supper. Now feet are up and sewing box is nearby …

    Strange @didyw 😵‍💫 your Waltzing Matilda looks quite a bit different to mine 
     

    This is the original tuber I bought from Sarah Raven 3 or 4 years ago.

    Oh - perhaps it's another variety - I bought three different ones from Sarah Raven.  I'll have to check!

    Hi all

    Thanks for all the lovely messages, I am lucky to know you all.
    Progress is occurring, the pain is reducing and I am walking short distances. Unfortunately sleep is still the major issue.
    Stitches out tomorrow, and then physio on Thursday.
