Hope you feel better soon Panda, hate the dentist.
Been busy at Secondborn's house today, trying to do some decorating but it was tricky as lots of floorboards still up. Can't see how she can possibly be in before the baby arrives as still so much to do. Tomorrow the boiler should be commisioned so at least she will have hot water and heating. Going again tomorrow, if I can move after todays efforts.
Yviestevie know just what you mean I thought it was never going to end floors up builders everywhere for nine months chaos then suddenly one day I turned up and all the boards were down floors swept and a week later all over.
Clari, I agree with GWRS, a badge from each unit would be a great idea.... and you could offer them one too that they could buy for their sleepover, unless the museum already does one? We Guiders love a badge, and I think Scouters are the same!
Decided to pop out to bingo tonight to distract myself.... it worked, but I didn't win.
Am steering away from crispy foods - had soup for tea
Evening all morning Pat how was the Russian restaurant? Were you adventurous?
Sorry I've been AWOL folks, as Dove informed you, been really an unwell womble with Mr womble far worse. He has been in bed since Monday afternoon... My birthday oh well, can't be helped and he has finally confessed that all those other times were just colds and he will never say he has flu again! poor fella! I've recovered mainly, still rough in the mornings but been going to work and even managed to dig a bit of the garden after work today found my feared dead geranium Rosanne sweet pea seedlings doing well on windowsill but perennial seedlings still slow in green house. cosmos pricked out annuals ready to prick out at the weekend
Topbird, sounds like your cosmos were fast coming through! Mine were too! Fastest of everything I sowed.
Hosta, glad you had a fab time at the opera did you get new wellies too? I garden in old trainers cuz I'm 27
Yvie, sounds like your on a tight schedule fingers crossed everything happens in the correct order! Best wishes
Liri, you have obviously read my todo list...bark paths nearly lost in weeds
SGL, you seem to be getting more than your share oif rain! Hope you have a sunny weekend!
BusyL, glad you are enjoying making your new home and garden your own, we will look forward to seeing pictures of this garden too!
That goes for you too Solent wind, sounds like a real project forming there!
Panda!!! Ouch ouch ouch! I have a tooth that doesn't want to be in my mouth any more either and to be honest I'm a bit fed up with it but its hanging on in there I feel your pain Panda, clove oil does work but tastes like s*"t, bonjella is what I use hope you feel better
Although have to say, like the sound of your prescription Pdoc! could I have one for brandy written please
GWRS, cruise sounds lovely! Agree on the Guinness! Drank it when I had M.E, drink with food in!
Fairy, I can almost taste your roast chicken when I read it, we haven't eaten properly in days ....too ill no energy, then Dove mentioned bread sauce etc and I'm dribbling!
Obelixx, sounds like your taking in some beautiful sights on your holiday, are there pictures?n???
Verdun, not surprised you were disappointed! Good you got a refund but you shouldn't have to fight for it!
Lyn, I did giggle when you described your bottom first daughter! What a way to try and enter the world! Sorry to read that you having trouble getting help for your Father, it does make me angry, I'm a support worker for adults with severe learning disability and I see families getting so stressed cuz so much is being asked of them. You have my full admiration and we are here if you need to let off steam or be distracted and talk about plants and gardens
Wow...my post was so long it cut off the last off it!...I will continue....sorry
DD you have earned your holiday every right to be excited! Enjoy!
Clari! Yes get a blanket..an electric one! Scounts? I hope you fgeel better for your day in the garden Monday
Chicky, nice to have easter break with Chicklet I'm impressed at revision group!
Kef, my greenhouse needs clearing too! Lots of slugs and snails hiding in empty plant pots!
Dove/mother, I'm so longing for your roast beef and gooseberry crumble! But hubby is so very I'll that I worry he may not be ok for work next week if we have an active weekend. I could always come alone and eat his share too yes great plan! If only I was a brave enough womble to drive there on my own I'll call you tomorrow, x
If I missed anyone I'm sorry, I only read back a few pages. Here's hoping we all have lovely weather for the weekend, its almost here!
I'm trying to wake up and have just read back 4 pages to make sure I had seen everyone's posts before writing myself. Wonky, I don't know how you remembered it all. I can only say my best wishes to all with cold, flu, wisdom teeth, gardening projects and house renovations etc.
All 5 of us who went to the Russian restaurant last night were both happy with some aspects and disappointed with others. To start with, we didn't know that Thursday nights the local music school has their sort of "amateur hour" and what with their loud sound system in a small room and my German friends loudly trying to have a birthday evening and shouting to each other, I felt torn between listening to some quite good musical endeavours and trying to join the lively conversation.
Regarding the food, it was OK but we all felt it was a bit uninspired. There was a salmon dish, two Italian pastas, lamb chops, German sausages with sourcrout, and the one that most of us decided on was "Eastern block goulash". Described as slow cooked beef with mashed potatoes. The goulash was ok but the potatoes didn't have any butter or milk - just mashed boiled potatoes. Some of us ordered Apple cake with ice cream, and I didn't like the taste of almond essence poured all over it. It was a bit heavy handed.
The trouble is that we are all more educated with our home cooking nowadays, so we expect something a bit more sophisticated when we go out. The prices were rather high - between $25-30 for the main course and when a sweet course was added, it came to an average of about $40 per head. I think rather than a repeat visit next week with birthday boy's other daughter, we will be trying the RSL club which has a good reputation.
Id better finish off here. Catch you all when you wake up in the morning.
An early good morning all A restless night so I intend going to bed soon. Sorry your meal wasn't very tempting Pat. Glad you are feeling better WW and hope your OH improves. . . no more "man flu" in future!
Good morning all G'day Pat That menu didn't sound very authentically Russian did it? More 'Soviet'.
It's only 3.8C so far this morning, but it's dry and the light cloud is thinning in the west - 'my' pair of goldfinches are already on the feeder outside the sitting room window and I think we're going to have a fairly good day. I shall be travelling south to visit Ma.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
