It's been a lovely day here. But I haven't been able to see much of it, as I'm confined indoors waiting for a delivery (Amazon). They said sometime between 7am and 7pm. I'm confident it will arrive, it's just such a nuisance being tied in, when I could be outside on a lovely day.
I have not caught any of the bugs going round (touch wood), as I have anti-virus software installed.
Hello, all--it's a lovely morning here-sun's just up,and unlike you apparently, the forecast windstorm didn't materialize. The first ones around here often bring trees down, and we need to be prepared to lose power.
Can't give you a recipe for the cheesecake--I made it up. The glaze was made by boiling maple syrup with cream until thick, then adding chopped pecans.It was very good--will try that one again. I like to experiment with cooking on rainy days.
Tonight my drawing classes begin again--I'm looking forward to it. May get out today to do some raking---about half the maple leaves are on the ground now.
Geoff re the 'alternative personality', are you wasting your breath?
Compost bin been done & the shopping is oh so slowly getting put away. Trashy TV keeps interupting. All this inactivity today has done wonders for my back & sciatica- hmm, think body trying to tell me something.......
I've got a new telephone on order and it will be here between Thursday and Saturday by snail mail, recorded delivery. so will have to ask one of the neighbours to take it in if we go out. (Yes Gary, put a note on your door.I usually ask them to leave it in the greenhouse, if I know they don't want a signature, and remove the note when delivered). This is the second phone we have had to replace recently, getting quite costly. Everything seems to pack up at once.
Becks my guess is 10.24.
We don't have our groceries delivered, but the neighbour opposite does, sometimes it can be as late as 10pm. I wouldn't want to be sorting shopping out at that time of night.
Who's your money on for GBBO?
Had a good day in the garden, OH has trimmed back all the honeysuckle, jasmine and everything else that has gone completely mad, we have got a pile of material nearly as big as the bungalow. I've sorted out the patio containers and replanted with wallflowers and daffodils, really satisfying, swept up and generally had a tidy round.
Tea tonight is. Braising steak and onions. Cabbage, Carrots, Mash. Oranges in low cal Jelly to follow, trying to be good as we are out for 3 meals over the next few days..
Package has arrived. I asked the guy if he would have been able to leave it. It may depend on the particular carrier. Royal Mail can usually leave Amazon parcels. But this carrier does not allow valuable packages to be left. At least, that's what he said.
He showed me the Amazon label. I'd never noticed this before, but every Amazon package actually has your phone number on it. It's in tiny print, the penultimate element in the long barcode on the packet. If you are not in, he's supposed to phone that number.
He'd got a van full of stuff, all still to be delivered (hopefully before 7pm).
Yay -for Amazon-I like getting parcels from them-the packaging is amazing-hasn't life moved on with parcel tracking and deliveries within a few days or ordering
Chris that sounds as if you have had a busy day-I hate this time of year when things start shutting down
We can sleep easy in our beds tonight-the name change saga has come to an end-now all we need to worry about is who will win the sweep-stake

Very windy here, s'cuse me!
A bloke at the allotments came and asked my advice at lunchtime! He's a newbie so I guess I'm now considered an old hand!!
Asda delivery - 10.59
I think my germs took social networking a step too far
I tried to burn off the weeds in the cracks but gave up thanks to the wind
I shall change my name to Accrington

Gary, why no note on the door? Works here.

A lot of talk about wind today
