Hope you are all keeping cool, sunny here, now there's a surprise ;-) :-D :-D


for those who need them (((( <3 <3 <3 <3))))

Morning Pat <3 :-D

It's hot, hot, HOT :-0 :-0 :-D

Morning Belle :-D :-D <3 <3

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

welcome to my world but it's cooler than usually, only 32C at the moment with a strong wind, normally high 30s edging up to 40C on some days in August.

Morning everyone :-D :-D <3 <3

Tis roasting here already, my blinds are down and front door open trying to catch the breeze.

I blubbed me way through Ethel and Ernest last night so missed the new Changing Rooms programme.

If you are in out of the heat this afternoon we’ll worth a watch on iPlayer, Tis a true story of the lives of the Briggs family before during and after WW2, Brenda Blethyn is the voice of Ethel :-)

Stay cool everyone <3 <3

Morning all. <3 :-D

Bootiful here. :-D

Picked up a couple of things that were missing from my Sainsburys delivery then dashed around Ann’s store for a handful of food items and spotted (and bought) a new top on my way out before meeting friends for coffee. It was lovely sitting at a shaded outside table idling our time away. :-D

No food to prepare today as I made three salads yesterday - green, potato and waldorf - and have plenty left. Will just chuck something under the grill to go with them,

Enjoy your day everyone. <3 :-D

Since no one has asked - is a Tottenham Cake one that is covered in white and navy icing. :-S

Yuk - googled it and it is that I least liked at school as it is iced plain cake covered in coconut. :-(

no Joy - Greggs apparently sell it, but as I've never been in a Greggs I am going on what I read this morning.

That’s the one that came up when I googled it Pat. It was the one I liked least when we got it at school. :-(

Morning Ann & Joy <3 <3 :-D :-D

We have a few Greggs here Pat.

There is one opposite where we had our coffee this morning.

Morning Belle. <3 :-D

Are you managing to keep Ralphie comfortable? <3

I can remember having that for dessert at infant/primary school dinners with custard....I rather liked it :-D :-D. Better than tapioca or rice pudding with a dollop of jam....yuk :-0 :-D

Morning Belle & Joy
<3 <3

Tesco has sold out of bottled water :-0 :-0 will try again tonight, in the meantime have remembered me emergency supply in the shed :-D :-D

Joy…never heard of that cake :-)

I had every window in the house full open for half an hour at 5:30 this morning, Joy.Then closed them all and pulled the blinds down.....we are quite comfortable at the moment :-D

Snot balls Belle :-0 :-0 :-0

That’s how we had it at school too and it always seemed strange to have an iced cake smothered in custard. I preferred chocolate or ginger pudding with custard. Semolina was my favourite milk pudding - still like it.

Ann, I hadn't until I looked at Pat's link and then recognised it :-D :-D

I just looked at the link….we just called it Pink Icing cake in school :-D :-D

Belle, we had blinds and curtains at one side of the house closed too - and have now even though it is a comfortable 26 degrees.

Ann - snot balls !!! :-0 :-D

Ann, initially I wondered whether it was a cake iced in Spurs’ colours. :-D :-D :-D

Then I googled it and I think your description fits! :-D :-D :-D
