G/G know your place! Women are supposed to be "err" how can I put this? well not quite as quick at problem solving as their sup-- spers--- superiors I think is the word, be not ashamed you did come second and according to my old school motto "Playing the game is more important than winning" what a load of old tosh, I play to win. It is not an unkind act it is the way of life, get used to it.
Thanks Frank and GG, but went to My Posts and all I got was the famous squashed tomato!
Note your comments Frank, and I've driven across the Sinai Peninsula a couple of times and I can't disagree with you, but a week in a 5-star air-conditioned hotel set on a warm beach will set me up nicely. If Cornwall had a bit more of Egypt''s weather, I'd never go abroad again!
Still, I admire all you blokes who served, and fought , in places like that - having been there I know what a nightmare it is when you scratch the surface.
Fairygirl I got a load of visitors just as Paul was coming on and in our house the TV goes off when people come. Ginger cake, Ginger bread, Parkin I love them all honest to goodness cakes but Carrot cake?? what kind of goat in sheep's clothing is that, not honest ginger as they hide it with spices, soft soggy and over sugared, leaves a yucky taste in the mouth and the icing should be used to grease car springs. Chili for tea?? Raw or in something??
Sorry the My Posts tip did not work. I do it all the time if I want to find something and I do not bother with email notifications. The system is up the bung!
Well, Frank, one of the lords of the universe, I'll remember my place in future (fat chance!)
I hate ginger and tolerate carrot cake. Give me coffee and walnut. NOW!
Frank what is your take on a good lemon drizzle cake? Chilli -as in with rice. Didn't overdo it so kids were grateful that they could eat it this time GG coffee and walnut- mmmmm lovely was my mum's favourite. I love a bit of shortbread - my national delicacy i suppose- but have never made it. Like my dad I do love a good fruit cake. Happy chomping peeps
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Fairygirl, I've made and consumed lots of shortbread. Hence my weekly visit to Fat Club! Ditto coffee and walnut cake.
Why is it that the same magazine (not GW) will print cookery recipes for delicious and fattening foods and, a few pages away, print stringent diets? Their health section will print articles on nutrition and the dangers of overweight while they accept advertisements for chocolate. No wonder I'm confused! In fact, I read a book about different types of dieters (easier than actually dieting) and did the various questionnaires involved. I emerged officially classified as a confused dieter who knows lots of facts about dieting but, when it comes to putting it onto practice, does not know her a&*£ from her elbow.
I sympathise GG! Know exactly what you mean hence my hillwalking! I've always been active -worked with horses for 20 yrs before having my kids - and the walking has been the greatest enjoyment I've ever known. A solution- don't read the magazines I'm sure you've earned the right to eat a bit of whatever you fancy when you fancy, but it's one reason why I've never made shortbread - I'd eat the whole lot PS Did you have a little Pope mobile? Would be good for doing the shopping on a wet day.... On a gardening note...at the risk of being very controversial...I hate hanging baskets, not that keen on bedding plants unless it's all one colour of one type and in a large pot. I like a quite masculine look-symmetrical and geometric. Don't like frilly/fussy/girly kind of planting. I'llleabe that with you all!! I'll get me coat....

G/G now you know why I walked around with permanent black eye's when Joan was around.
Frank.
She sounds like my kind of woman! You were very lucky.
