Yay I'm back. House is tidier, dishes washed and things ready for tomorrow. Now I can concentrate on typing and searching.

Maz six months is a pretty reasonable time to keep a frog in captivity. Don't they turn into handsome princes after a while. You'd better hang on to this one and find out.

Although sometimes it doesn't work I've had OH for 95 times longer than that and he's still not a handsome prince, or even an unhandsome prince.

And I do know about bread or buns falling butter side down. Same law of inverse falling. I have two hot cross buns left and I'm keeping one to take to footy with me tomorrow.

Hey Maz, Are you able to borrow LGs broomstick and zoom over to Derek's Derbyshire thread. Simon on there has just asked about a Hannah Oliver. I did wonder if she was one of your escapees.

Derek

Derek Report 3 Apr 2010 11:06

I have been sitting here with tears rolling down my face. Go read Tanianz's thread, "Why Is It" on Chat. What a hoot.

We have the same traditions but never with carrots at Easter. Oooh I am still giggling.

The suffering we go through for our children lol. Much prefer the sherry and mince pie for Father Christmas! We've never had the Easter Bunny thing. Perhaps it's a US import???

At last others have admitted they are slow to get dressed. No longer do I have guilty feelings about sitting in my dressing gown into the afternoon. :-)

Not only that but it saves heaps of time getting ready for bed the next night and not only that saves a whole set of clothes for the day and you don't have to go anywhere because everyone knows you are in your jamas and just can not be taken anywhere dressed like that.

And now I think I am going to bed. After I work out which way to turn the flaming clock or I will be either late or early tomorrow morning.

Oh that's good it goes back so it is really only 9.00 pm which means I could sit here for another hour. Night all catch you later.

AuntySherlock Report 3 Apr 2010 23:15

Hi there!! OK all running and hiding!! That's better. Now you can peep out of your hiding places and listen while Aunty has a grizzle. Do you comprehend grizzle? Sort of like a mini whinge, not quite a complaint.

I am mildly exasperated. Now I din't say angry, just exasperated.

Spent all yesterday afternoon working on a thread for someone. And last night they deleted it. No explanation, no reason, no thank you, not even no that's not what I wanted. Just whoooosh gone!! Then they started another thread.

Exasperated, just exasperated. Big deep breath phew!!

OK I'm alright now.

How's things. Easter Bunny arrived, carrot tops successfully chewed. Mounds of chocolate to be consumed. Great.

Maz the reference to Hannah Oliver is on Derek's thread on Records. It was posted by Simon yesterday afternoon. It is a fairly early Oliver so it could be connected.

LG Looks like the red and whites don't need Fabulous or whatever his name is. Managed another win without him.

YG. Toasted HCBs mouth watering. I've only one bun to go and that's for today. Actually I'm hiding the fact I have another six in the freezer, but they don't count because they're frozen.

Out to water the garden. Think I've drowned the apricot tree. OH has just transplanted it and it looks decidedly wonky. It's due to lose its leaves for winter and I think it being moved and losing leaves has turned its toes up.
Catch you in a little while. By the way its 7.45 am here if I turned my clocks the right way.

YG Report 3 Apr 2010 23:21

I'm not hiding Aunty! i'm sitting here stuffing my face before I go to bed.

I know, I know. It's not good to fill your stomach then sleep on it, but I have no intention of waking in the night with hunger pangs!!!
