Hope everyone is feeling perky this morning. Good news, Dove, that your family is safe, but what an awful thing to go through, sympathies to all.~~~~~~
We watched Mrs Brown, find her/him extremely funny, just wish he would moderate the language, too many Fs, would be just as good with fewer. Just love it when they get the giggles.
Not a very nice morning here, dull and damp, hope it improves later.
Got a fairly busy day. Hairdressers a 1.30 then off to see M, back for early tea, then going to cinema with SIL and friend to see Quartet. Phew! might fit in a few jobs in between. Feel a bit like Jo.
Sunny here, that's nice, and I've won a free lunchtime sarnie at the sandwich shop today - excellent
Love Lewis and long-tailed tits, can't stand Mrs B's Boys. Going to watch Dove's link now then wander off to shop to collect free lunch and have coffee.
Enjoy your days.
Dove, there are no words for an experience like that. But they are all safe.
Just watched Doves footage. I to feel emotional. What a horrendous experience, But they are all safe and together. That is what is important.
Just been to WW
Called in at Wilkinson and the shelves are filling up with garden things. Bought a bag of seed compost, not used it before so will see if it is any good.
Have to planr tree that arrived so need to go to GC later for stakes .
Also looked in at Waitrose for sauce inspiration, at moment leaning towards their tomato and chille sauce - it will go with both the gammon and the salmon I think and save a bit of time ready made. What do you lot think? Will it go?
Jean I have watched the 2 episodes of Ripper. Each time I found I had to watch some'rubbish' to take my mind off it before I went to bed. I don't do gratuitous violence very well
Morning again, went back to bed and only just got up again.
How about a tattle of tits? They always sound as through they are having a good gossip. I think some Victorian thought up all those group nouns for animals and birds. You used to get a list of them in First Aid English. What a great book that was. You can find them now in Schott's Miscellany, another one of my Dave's, I love trivia.
Afternoon all - hope everyone feeling good today. Dove - - but a happy ending thank goodness. Raining again OH back in work after a very long holiday so nice to be back to normal (can do what I like!!)
BJay - what about a honey & mustard sauce?
Geoff - hope your orange balls are not black & blue after all that bashing
Window cleaner just been, only a day early, but correct week.
Enjoyed Lewis, but cross coz a '2 parter'! Managed to sleep pretty well too. Had window open as well above 6C- my limit- & the birds didnt wake me so early this time.
Daughter & me had a good morning down at Lowry outlet mall. Tried various sofas in the M&S furniture bit. Daughter knows which one she wants, but will have to wait until she's actually in the house! Then of course the sales will be over, but there's always chance to get some discount in between.
Hope you enjoyed Quartet Chris. I still want to go & see it.
The Australian film very harrowing. Glad all the family safe though. J.
We went to watch Quartet as a stage play just before Christmas 2011. It was brilliant. Susannah York was in it and I think it must have been one of her last performances.
We enjoyed it so much we have wondered if it translates to a movie. Will go and see it when it comes here.
I need asauce that will suit both salmon and ham Cumbeland sauce I think will not go with salmon. Honey and mustard might go
Glyn, First Aid in English! I think I've still got one somewhere, it was always a handy reference when I was teaching. I'm sure you're right about someone just sitting down and creating a list - I've heard it was nuns!!! It's very subjective: a murder of crows, a charm of goldfinches, you can see which birds they wanted in their gardens and which ones they shooed off. (shoo'd?? - where's my First Aid in English got to?)
Jo, 'Lowry outlet mall' - I can't help but picture it with matchsticky people
Bjay, sympathies. I have just had lemon cake with my coffee (oh!!) though have been very good all week as I didn't like the last weigh-in result. The members of our WW group had put on 82.5 lb over the holiday. (Extra tubby smiley)

PP I'll cook gammon in cider and spices, It always smells wonderful and adds to the flavour.
