    Hard day at work. Local nutter(not feeling very pc) took up an hour and a half. No touching a rusty drainpipe will not kill you. The glass of SB And half a bottle of western australian cab sav might finish me off. I bought a selection of cheeses at Chatsworth farm shop.  Colston basset stilton v shepherd's purse yorkshire blue v  dovedale blue.  My moneys on the yorkshire blue. Hubby prefers colston basset.  Mmm. Feeling very mellow at the mo.

    I've got a confession. I have an encrusted oven. I also have a quote for a new kitchen. Man at b and q  kept saying I have a big kitchen. I need lots of units. I have picked the most expensive range. Really? Quelle surprise.

    He kept on telling me that it was going to be expensive. He seemed to be implying I couldn't afford it. He wasn't at all impressed when I said his quote for fitting was ridiculous, my brother is an electrician and qualified gas fitter, and I am getting a quote from Howdens and Magnet.image

    Mmm - nice cheeses Fidget and nice wine too - not surprised you're feeling a little mellow image



    Had a similar situation to DD when we rented a holiday villa in Spain. Can't remember what I was going to cook but it needed an oven. Put the oven on to heat up & went outside for a glass of something cool by the pool. Went back indoors to find the house full of blue greasy smoke. Never did cook in that oven and it took about 3 days to get rid of the smell image

    Hmmmmmmm. Is this the time to admit I have an Agaimage I inherited it when I moved in here.  Have had it all redone and wouldn't swap it for the world. Looks after itself as long as I keep the top clean, heats the water and kitchen 

    Hosta how are you going to do all this with your poor knee, take care

    fidget I adore cheese tooimage

    Hello again everyone. Glad you're at least able to post a message Panda.  I hope you can get on top if the chest infection. Nasty.

    ive been outside collecting raspberries again - I swear they hide and then reappear a few hours later. It's very hot out there, so i've asked Hubby to pick the loganberries. Sweat dripping all over me now that I've come inside and had a sip of cold water.  bah!

    ive planted the very last of my seedlings this morning so no need to keep watering little pots- just moving hoses which is less fiddly.  They were the last of the tomatoes, eggplants and chilli that I'd grown from my saved seeds. image

    Hosta, just 'cos that knee feels ok don't you go and overdo it - it's just trying to trick you!
