Bet you've fed/let out chooks & Cody though before going back to your pit.
BTW all those papers/articles etc I collect over time have been sorted & recycled in the majority of cases. Cant find Septembers' copy of a mag though, did take on holiday & remember reading it on the plane- hmm wonder where it's ended up? J.
Morning all. Had a nice day at friends yesterday . Good conversation , great food but my turn to drive so no alocohol was consumed. To be honest , I didn't really mind as hubbie has done most of the driving over the hols.
I could have done with an other hour in bed but he wants to go SHOPPING today so will have to muster up the energy - cant be bothered but will have to go. That means lunch out which I really begrudge as we have a mountain of food here.
I totally agree with you both Glyn and Dove on the subject of leftovers - all you need is a little imagination and virtually everything can be used up. I bought too many veggies so yesterday they were blanched and frozen.
Oh well. Off to trudge around the shops. Catch you all later.
Dove, I'm on the high horse with you! I'm great with leftovers too, absorbed the habit from parents who were brought up during rationing era - and with modern freezers there's no excuse for wasting stuff. And there's the compost heaps and the wormery and the chooks ...
I'm going to have to brave some shopping today and tomorrow as we have my sister with husband, daughter and dog coming on Sat. Haven't got any pressies for them yet!!!!
Well it's cheese rissoles tonight, plus veg. I need to see if any 'fresh' herbs around for the mixture, otherwise dried will do. It uses up all the part open cheese bits & the rissoles are equally yummy when cold with a bit of pickle! daughter saysthey're better that way.
Decided against going to the GC sale today. Need to do some cleaning of sorts. Who emptied the shredder into the bag, for composting, & didnt take care so bits everywhere? Not me I might add..... & as for the floor in workshop/study! Daughter off a couple of days next week so she & me will go instead. I probably will have to stop her buying sale plants for the house garden! But have to admit have already fished out a couple of books for her & ordered one from Amazon that she'll find very useful! 'Old garden, New Gardener' by GH & Gay Search. Absolutely spot on for her situation. I still refer to my well thumbed copy. J.
We use our left-overs as well, why buy food when there is still plenty left.
Perhaps its the gardeners thrift in us, or maybe.....
We had 2 chucks for Christmas, they are a coppery brown colour
Not doing sales at moment but maybe later in month as we need towells, not very exciting.
I have now got to start planning the ancient parents 90th birthday celebration, I am hopin there will be some large joints of gammon reduced when I hit the shops tomorrow
Raining here AGAIN Pleased I managed to get those plants in yesterday. Still have no idea where to put the raspberries!
Bjay, what a lovely pressie. Hope they settle in well.
No rain to speak of here this morning. OH told me there was torrential in the night with thunder and lightning, dogs banging on baby gate; I slept through it all

You are right Jo-did do my duty at 7.30-wish the mornings were lighter-and drier
Now to tidy up a bit-whilst it is quiet-bin-men coming tomorrow

Morning early risers.
