Good morning all :-)

Stick the kettle on please Ginns ......... I have brought some nice fresh croissants and danish pastries so I will set them out and make a start on the rest....

Porridge,

Bacon, eggs (however you want them), sausages, fried bread, mushrooms and tomatoes. - all now cooking away.

Mornin all~~~~~

Looks like Jonesey is looking forward to a good meal on the big day!


How windy is it here :-0 Must be all those sprouts!

we were given a large bag of brussels sprouts yesterday ............

............ I think we got enough for at least 10 meals :-)


"Sprussels" are always part of our Christmas dinner :-)

We have parsnips most weeks Jonesey........ :-D


Went to see my health trainer and I've gained 1.5lbs :-(


Then went into town and picked up a Christmas present for daughter whilst OH had his hair cut.

Came home and finished some ironing.

Had lunch and went to visit son's recently widowed mother-in-law.

Back home to more ironing.

Meal

and a play on the laptop...mostly chatting to our deceased friend's daughter over on the dark side. At one stage, I was talking to 5 friends - non from here either.......my fingers were twinkling away over the keyboard... .

Yep....been a busy old day really. :-D :-D :-D

I will wish you all good night and wait to see what else Jonesey recommends for Christmas. ;-)

Night night all.....xx

Soon be Christmas when we can have some parsnips.

Sylvs....my growing up in the 70s was always a 'be quiet'

It's how it was....it is what it is

It taught me lots though, I always asked my kids 'hang on a sec', rather than 'be quiet'

They are never quiet, but they listen!

I got involved trying to sort out a problem in my tree last night, hence my absence form the kitchen ..................


We used to live next door to my grandmother's sister.

She was always a grumpy old thing, I only went in her house a couple of times that I remember, and I was always being told not to make too much noise outside her house.

We moved away in March 1951, and I really do not remember seeing her after that.


However, I decided to make a determined attempt last night to find her death

Nada



In almost desperation, I looked at the Marriage Index .............

............ the woman married again in June quarter 1951, at the age of 66!


so no wonder I couldn't find her death!


It's still a problem though ....................... she went from an uncommon surname to a VERY common one :-)

Hi all

Cripes, being off work this last week, I have really noticed how quiet these boards are

Is GR going down the tubes?

I hope not

:-(

On the floor......sounds like my office, after the EV inspection!

Nice quiet day, just emails and the phone to answer :-D

Good morning all :-)

Sorry I'm late but I got quite 'carried away' on something else !!!

Thanks for the lovely breakfast Cynths - you HAVE been busy <3 <3

I will have fried bacon please, oven baked sausages and a couple of those large flat mushrooms with lots of juice (if Ginns has left any ;-) ).

You have excelled yourself today Cynths - this is 'heavenly' !!! <3

Your grand-daughter sounds lovely Cynths - quite the little angel but with a hint of mischief :-D

Yesterday I picked my granddaughter up from school. I do so enjoy her company. Her dad, when he arrived, was sorting out the small tv in my bedroom and a comment was made about how tidy it was.

I looked at her and said "Just think, if you had a tidy bedroom, you would know where everything was".

She looked at me with her lovely little face and said, with a twinkle in her eye "But I KNOW where everything is..........


......................it's on the floor!!"


:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

roasted?

Soon be Christmas when we can have some chestnuts.

Hi all

Just chatting.....is it only me that has salad and home made olive oil chips?

I am cooking hand made chips, covered in olive oil and some Cajun spice...cooked in the oven

Along with, a huge salad, including, hard boiled eggs, leaves, onion, toms, sweetcorn, red pepper and sultanas, cottage cheese and rustic garlic bread.......from the co-op! (the bread, not the salad)

It's YUM

Oooher.......forgot to pop on this morning

Having a lazy day, drinking tea and watching tv

Bliss :-D

Good morning all.

Thank you for breakfast.

Sorry about the neighbour.

Passes a satsuma to Jonesey.

Phil is so helpful re the avatar; have managed, eventually, to change to a Christmas one.

:-)

Good morning everyone and thank you for breakfast Dea... <3



Arrrrrrggggghhhhh arrrrgggghhhhhhhhh


I know you said it was bubbling Dea.......it's bloomin' HOT!!!!


Heard yesterday that my nice next door neighbour is back in hospital again - he only came out a few days ago. I have a feeling that things aren't too good for him
:-(


A very grey day here..........can't wait till the light nights return........ :-D


Not much of an agenda today - apart from catching up on some ironing - so I will take things as they come.....see you later.
