Well, Barb, a couple of the flapjacks look a bit burnt round the edges - will they do?

I just had one of those 'error' message thingys :-S....had to reboot :-|......but back again now :-D

Hello LB had a good week I hope :-D

Well GiN if that's all you have, I suppose burnt flapjacks will have to do :-( :-(

Hi All, much to my shame I can't remember the last time I made a cake!!!

We have been to town to the Gloucester quays at the docks looking round a craft fair, had lunch out, well more brunch (fry up) really. Gosh was that restaurant crowded too, only been there a few weeks but already popular. Sunny all day despite being prepared for promised rain with light coats, which had to be carried because we were so hot!!! Got home and OH did the ironing (as usual bless him).

No meal to cook tonight. And no squats either (can't remember the last time I did any of those either.) :-D

......and another error message thingy :-| :-| :-|

Hi Ann. I have seen the AD for the Glos Quays and it looks really good.

Your OH does the ironing OMG.

Next time I'm looking for a hubby I am going to ask for CV,s :-D

Yes, Barb not a bad week....thanks :-D

Did something I haven't done for ages......ten pin bowling! It was great at the time but boy oh boy did my thighs hurt the next day :-(

At least a beat the thirtysomethings :-D :-D :-D even though I paid for it the next day!

AnninGlos, Hi! - I went to Gloucester Docks and Quays a couple of years ago - I loved the old warehouse full of antique stalls! :-)

Back in my youth I ran a bar in a Ten Pin Bowling Alley. I loved it and was quite good even if I do say so myself. It was always a full house.

It was pulled down years ago. :-(

Gin, The Antique centre has moved from the warehouse now and all the little shops are now in a purpose built building in the new part of the Quays where the outlet centre is. (since about 3 years ago. Now a new cinema is almost finished and lots of restaurants, plus many of the warehouses have been made into flats. Quite a good place to visit.

Yes, I can remember in the 60s/70s a lot of the cinemas were turned into bowling alleys......this one was in central London downstairs in a basement of all places....only had 4 lanes in the main part and then a further 2 in another room

Must have been more than a couple of years ago when we visited Gloucester! I do remember the outlet centre, and it was pretty new then. :-D

I remember going ten pin bowling years ago, there used to be a lot of them around in the North East. I was excellent at bowling the ball into the gutter! :-D :-D

It was funny one of the girls was almost throwing the ball and it landed with such a bang about halfway down the lane.....I thought it was going to go through the floor :-D

We are going to Avon Valley Adventure Park on Monday with OH,s eldest g,daughter and gt,grandson. All sorts of animals and fun rides etc etc.

The weather for monday doesn't look very promising but they do say that if it rains on your visit they will give you free passes to come again within 7 days. How about that

But me having ** fun rides ** that close together, is too too much to take in :-D

We are missing our hostess!

WAKE UP, MERSEY! IT'S TIME FOR A SQUIFFETTE!


That should do it! :-D :-D ;-)

That sounds a bargain, Barb :-D Hopefully, it won't rain though!

Why don't you offer to look after the coats and bags while they go on the rides :-D

;-)

Burnt bleedy flapjacks Barb...is that all your worth....tsk ;-) tell her to stick em up her jumper ;-)

Hello LB and Ann G....think I said hello to everyone else earlier :-D

Ooooo tenpin bowling...'twas good at that in my day...there used to be one in New Brighton over on the Wirral, also in Chester but the latter is Mecca Bingo now.

Barb....just want to reportI have actually cooked this evening ...lamb steaks with carrot and turnip mash....OH asked me what I had been up to ;-)

Psst....far be it for me to spread malicious gossip, but again there seems to be two very special regular people missing at the same time AGAIN :-0 :-0
