I always enjoy hearing from you.
Good night
OMW that would take me a whole year to eat.I saw how your pizza was made.....
Good luckHi everyone - long time no not see.
Guess who spilled coffee all over their laptop?
A colleague in school has sorted it out for me and I've only just had it back today but thankfully it's all working.
Hope everyone is well I will try to read all past posts to catch up - but I'm guessing there's quite a few!!
So I'd better make a start!
That would be awesome.I've not been away in 4 years because of Lola.
I don't have neighbours I could trust and although I have a big family all spread about, it would still mean a round trip of 18 miles for the closest sister to come and see to him twice a day which is a lot to ask. I suppose I am also pretty fussy when it comes to his food prep etc too.
I should get a camper van so we can travel the world together!!
How eccentric would that make me look?
Yayyy. Well done JoesbrotherGood evening all!
I have both my children home
The best news is that Son has found and annihilated the wasp! It is no more! [emoji322] Let's hope there are none of its friends lurking!
No. I think it is one of those special pet doors and Mark is going to put the corresponding collar on Sully which will unlock the door when he gets near it. [emoji6]
My idea is better. [emoji23]
Lol
Frozen shoulder os part of my problem and it is very common. It often has hormonal change triggers - thyroid, diabetes, menopause, etc - and we women are good at hormone changes [emoji849] You've to keep it moving, no matter how painful that is. Basically there are lesions in the joint and you need to prevent more and ideally break down the ones that are there. I am winning the battle, but it has taken months to get to where I am.
Good morning. After some glorious weather we had a ridiculously warm night last night. It was 20C MINIMUM! It is going to be warm again today.
The rest of the country is also pretty warm and very wet due to storm Callum. Weather systems tend to hit the UK from the west usually and move south west to north east. Living in the extreme south east, we often miss out on the wet weather. However, we are going to get the tail end of this one tomorrow. I actually hope we do because we are always at risk of water shortage here
I shall be starting my annual Christmas Pudding weekend this weekend.
They require a lot of mixing. Traditionally, it is lucky for everyone in the house to mix the pudding. In practice, cooks had this one worked out: the mix is heavy and it wears you out! Having all 4 of us home means I can save my poor shoulder!
In case anyone is wondering why I don't use a mixer, it is because I don't have one big enough. It is impossible to make small quantities of Christmas pudding due to the number of ingredients so, unless you have a catering size mixer, you have to mix it by hand. I put the mix in my jam pan as it is the largest bowl I have.
I'll explain more when we get started.

You have been a fantastic role model for me.
Then i hope so too.
License has been done and now we are at Blouberg Beach. You can see Robbin Island across the way. And Table Mountain to the left. The surfers are all out and doing their thing.
What lovely photos Carol!
We went to Cape Town years ago and loved it. We visited Robben Island too. It made quite an impact on us and the children. For those not familiar with it, it was where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned.
I have yet to visit. Sadly the locals are always the last to visit their own tourist attractions. I do really need to go one day.
That is so true! Visiting the tourist sights on your own doorstep never seems to occur to anyone - even us!
Lol. I actually thought that you might have been the exception to the rule.
