Good morning Thursday

[Ally]

Good morning.

Another sunny and warm day at 28°.
The duvet got folded away yesterday and won't see the light of day until October.

Going for a Guadalmar walk with Don. I love walking by the sea.

I'll have a swim when I get back.

Conor's coming over around 5 and taking us out for drinks and dinner.

Have a great day.

Morning Ally, morning everyone

Much cooler, only 27C today and getting colder for the next 10 days Low 20's

Washing to be done and we really must do what we were supposed to do yesterday, but got side-tracked by a rather late breakfast.

So, pool boy and strimming - maybe, don't think he'll do both - and me out in the veggie garden.

One of our favs for dinner, lemon, chilli, garlic chicken with cous cous (the last bit is not his favourite, but I won't make chips

Have a good day everyone, whatever you're doing xx

If it gets warmer may go out in the garden this afternoon.

Good morning you three and everyone

Ally, what are your night time temps like?
Jan, the dinner does sound delicious, enjoy. And don't overdo the garden work
Cruiser - I was about to type that I think here "down south" we hopefully have had the last of the really cold nights; but I just looked at a 2 week forecast and it is showing possible snow towards the end of next week Better get the garden fleece ready just in case

another office day for me so nothing exciting to report.

have a lovely day all x

Morning all, it was 14 degrees in the house this morning, one degree below what I use as a guide for putting on the heating We got home about 6pm yesterday evening, after smooth travelling, although I seem to have left my book at the airport in Paris. We had a great trip but it was cold there too apart from Sunday, which was lovely. Then by Monday the wind had turned around to the north, and we had quite a few heavy squally showers Monday and Tuesday. Nevertheless we managed to enjoy ourselves The hotel was a great success, a lovely little boutique hotel near Gard du Nord station.

Back to a normal Thursday, dance practice this morning and Kellie this afternoon, and Michael will also be here for his dinner - we got them some official Paris Olympics stuff, around the Eiffel Tower area they are building huge stands. Before we go out this morning, I’ll pop out and get some Chicken Kievs for dinner, they both like them.

Morning all.
It was cold this morning, had to get some ice off the car windscreen when I ran MrsC in to the train station. She is on her way to York for a college reunion.
Never had Couscous in my life.
A lazy day beckons here, I may go into Pontefract to get a mini statement from the atm, but that will be about it.
I wish we had a couple of days of your weather Ally.
Have a nice day all.

Morning all

Bright and sunny

Been watching the freak storms in Dubai. It's many years since we were there, we had a 3 day stopover on our way back from Oz. They are going to need a massive clean up, it's not built for rain, storms like that are so rare.

Off to Westwood Cross, it's M&S today. We did a good stock up last week so only a few bits needed.

Hope you all have a good day xx

Never had Couscous in my life.

You should try it Crommers. I make it with a veg stock cube and add chickpeas with this dish.

I-ve just finished all my jobs

Picked the last of the peas, dug up beetroot and carrots and picked two huge buckets of broad beans.

Beans and carrots now in the freezer and the beetroot has been cooked and now in a jar.

And made a curry for Saturday

Afternoon everyone

I’ve been out all day, up to Sudeley Castle at Winchcombe, to the Home and Garden fair there. It’s a nice day out I didn’t buy much, just some bamboo socks, and a load of Heck stuff (chicken burgers and sausages) for the freezer. Went with Em and our friend Sarah. Bit tired now, but it’s Pilates tonight so I’ll have to muster some energy

Love to all xxx
