Many people ate oysters then, they were considered the food of the poor! At one point apprentices tried to strike, complaining that they had to eat oysters every day! Odd how these things change huh?
Got my copy of next weeks Radio Times. Lympics opening ceremony doesn't start till 9pm. Guess sheep will be wandering around in the dark until they're on.
GW on at 8.30 (next wk). Rdt will doing something on the gardens of the Lypmic Park. Plus Carol Klein discovers London's wild side.
I have never had oysters -what do they taste like-would I like them- do they go with peas?
Kate -you have done well stocked up the fridge and the garden in one trip-Mrs Geoff has returned and bought me more shorts and more sunglasses
I have cut the grass again cut back a solanum, cleaned all the windows and mirrors-I can now see out and see myself as well- a good mornings work-might hoover the car later
Grr, have just accidentally put the mouse across that advert!!
Anyway, freezer defrosted & now cooling back down. The half large tub of icecream is in neighbours' spare (!) freezer, the rest in 2 cool bags/box with a lot of ice packs. I will need more icecream tomorrow, dont you lot buy it all!
Jam is cooling down in its' jars & jam pan is soaking- brillo pan at the ready. Typical, it needed an extra couple of mins boiling to really reach a set & I just knew it'd stick, even before I checked. Now I wonder if enough storage space upstairs in the wardrobe I use? Daughter really didnt believe me when I said it needed leaving 3 months- ideally that is- before eating.
All being well I shall insist on a garden day on Sunday. Tomorrow, after early shopping, day out plus picnic is planned again. J.

I have returned with treasures. £4 for 23 plants
The fridge is now full, roast chicken and sauteed new potatoes for dinner
Why do you put plants in the fridge.

Gary some of the plants are for MIL so they need some preparation
I have never had oysters nor do I want to
Geoff I hope you will be rewarded by the kitchen for your hard work. How many pairs of sunglasses do you own?
Far too many Kate-I even have a dedicated sunglasses box-I need counselling
Is it that sunny in Southampton?
Sunny -it is blooming tropical -there are girls in hula hula skirts, palm trees and dolphins in the Solent
Still grey here, do I need to move? I have bought another lucky ticket
Gardener has spent 30 mins vacuuming next doors lawn
