    Evening all. 

    Just back from a "tasting night" at Waitrose. As we went in my colleague asked if I'd like some mulled wine:

    " Wendy, I don't drink" 

    " I know , I just thought you might want a small one"  

    I wonder if she was offering vegetarians small samples of meat????

    I hope Clari is ok. ( and her fire engine )

    Devon.
  • Ma used to offer vegetarians a ham salad - after. all, you must have some meat ... it's protein image

    I popped and saw Wonky today, she's off work with 'flu ,,, she had hoped to go back tomorrow but has just texted that she still has a high temperature and is shivering ... bless her ((hugs))  I've had a flu jab so I should be ok image

    Send her my love Dove. All that outdoorsy stuff can have its drawbacks. 

    Hubby had : mulled wine, white wine and cherry vodka punch. LUSH!

    Devon.
  • I've just had a look on her museum website - couldn't see anything there or in the local press about a crashed fire engine.

    I sincerely hope Clari doesn't  have a 'wee bump' with all the renovations going on.  Clari, really hope you're OK and you get loads of sympathy back home.  A cuddle with Reggie will helpimage

    Pdoc - there's nothing anyone can say or do to make things better and you must be devastated by the loss of your colleagues.  There are good people (you're one of them) and good things around. Sometimes you have to search for themimage.

    i've just lost a cousin to meningitis which is rather sad, just two years older than me, and it brings it home that you have to make the most of the life you have.

    Thanks for the cake compliments.  I saw a similar thing on Pinterest and thought it looked possible as I can't do piping any more.  Dove I had to look up how to make brownimage.

    G'night all.

    Evening - quite a few jobs done today but feet up now watching last night's M/chefimage

    First - hope Clari is ok. The fact she was able to post on here afterwards makes me think she is probably ok.

    Lovely cake Lesley - I'm relying on aged MIL to provide the cake again this yearimage

    Pdoc. Sorry to hear about your colleagues. Terrible news coming out of Syria nearly every day and it must all be much more real for anyone that's been there and experienced it first hand. As Dove said this morning, sometimes you just have to try to adjust your focus. What can you do to make those close to you feel more cherished? Your OH has had a rough year too if I remember correctly. Take some time to show her how much you care - it might help you to feel better.

    Hope that doesn't sound too bossy - hugs for both of you.image
