    Thank you @Ladybird4Β 
    Feeling very low these last few weeks, still not sleeping much either, which doesn't help. Seeing a friend this afternoon, will be nice to see her and chat.

    Morning all.

    Happy birthday @Rubee. πŸ₯³πŸŽ‚πŸ₯‚

    We had a good lunch and afternoon with our friends yesterday.

    It will probably be a quiet day. There are things I want to do outside but heavy rain is forecast.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Morning all - white rabbits and all that.

    Rubee - a very Happy Birthday to you - hope you have a lovely dayπŸŽ‚πŸ₯‚πŸ₯³

    Debs - glad you enjoyed the film - it's on my radar.

    We have a new cinema in town - one of those with small theatres and comfy armchairs and sofas where you can take a glass of wine in with you.
    All very civilised except that when we looked at going the other night to see Oppenheimer, the tickets were Β£16.50 each and a glass of wine was Β£9 - a total of Β£50 for 2 of us. Whatever happened to 2 seats in the one and sixpennies with a box of Maltesers? We decided to wait for it to come on TV or to rent from SKY.

    It's a bit like fish and chips which used to be a cheap takeaway dinner - especially as we lived in a fishing town so there were many varieties of cheap fish available - rock (aka dogfish) was my favourite. Now f&c is a bit of a high days and holidays treat.Β 

    Grump over - must be getting old!

    Might do some packing today.

    Good morning Busy, Hazel and T'Bird.
    T'Bird I remember how we loved going to the f&c shop and getting free 'scraps', which were the little fried drips of batter from the fish. We thought these were fantastic! I dread to think what the nutritionists would make of that. Mind you I can't get my head round battered Mars bars! I just imagine a fishy flavour from the oil, permeating a perfectly acceptable chocolate bar than really doesn't need encasing in batter and deep frying!
    Hazel - it worked!

    Wow Ruby.That is a real milestone of a birthday. This talk of food is making me very hungry. I am being picked up at about 12:45 and I have had a peek at the menu online and more or less decided what I am going to have.
    A Chinese meal sounds delicious Ruby. Will Rosie join you?
