I am not allowed to look at that cake yet never mind eat it ,he found the reciepe in one of my books so will let you have the receipe if the cake is ok.
weather brilliant again,a little to warm for me and as i cannot get the umberella up just yet as we have bedding drying on the line!! Mind you I could move the chairs and table down the garden and we would be in the shade of the trees from over the f ence!!!
The tennis has just started and I might just watch a bit while the dinner is cooking .David wanted to know why I am doing a full Sunday roast when the weather is so nice and I just said cos i had bought it.!!! he would not be to happy with sandwiches on Sunday!!!
Glad the holiday went ok Fred ,shame about the wedding,but i am sure you and Liz enjoyed your BBQ.
Dorothy the family seem to be really enjoying all they do at the moment hope it lasts.The royal viist is getting a lot of good coverage over here.
Anyway hope you all enjoy your Sunday however you spend it and whatever your meal is.
Brenda

Morning all another gorgeous day weatherwise,so will not be on here long ,Going out for lunch with some friends,not going into town as we normally do ,we are going up to whitefield where my friend lives,she has not been well and me and my other friend are going to see her and go for a pub lunch up there.
Had some blood tests last week and went for results today ,had an appointment with the doc who requested the tests but she was of ill so had to see a locum.!!!!
He was very nice told me the results but said he thought i should go back and see the other doc when she is back as he did not think there was any need to change my blood pressure tablets ,so i will have to go back in a couple of weeks.!! Would rather have cancelled this morning and gone to see her when she is in ,had i known she was not in,hope that makes sense.!!
Hope you all enjoy the lovelly weather

Hi Brenda Dorothy & My old friend Badger.
This is Marie from Aust. I have been having a lot of problems with the Genes Site I have been unable to get into the Wattler's site for at least a month,

I hope you dont mind me popping in to the friendly thread for a chat,I think I may have posted a long time ago.
Badger you sound like you had a nice time away.
My daughter Kathleen and also her daughter Victoria have the Gluten intolerence
.
We are well served here with all the supermarket's and resterant's catering for (Chiolac) that isnt the right way to spell it but you will know what I mean also there are now a large number of receipe books available in book store's. Almond meal is used to make a small patty cakes and they are lovely I will get the rec.from Barbara and put it on here for you Badger and the next time your grandaughter is up you will be able to give her a treat ;-)

Brenda are you in England I live in New South Wales OZ It is the middle of winter and is wet and very cold a few weeks ago we had Snow .

Last week we managed to get 3 days of Sunshine it was beautiful :-D
I have all my winter crops in and looking forward to some more Sunny days

Hi Dorothy,I have the feeling you may not live in England, would that be correct? wherever you are I hope it is Sunny and warm.
Kindest regard's to you all
Marie from Oz. ;-)

Hi Marie ,what a pleasant suprise ,i did wonder what happened to you and have sent my yahoo addy to you in case you do the ultimate ozzie thing and go walkabout ,he he.
A lot of us are having trouble on here just lately ,the team in charge are changing things every which way ,and in the process ,are making things so complicated they are putting their mainframe into the dreaded loop,making the thing so confused it dosn't know what to do next.
I am a believer of the old saying ,[if it dosn't need fixed .leave it alone] ,lol.
The recipes for ceoliacs would be most welcome thanks,i could do with a couple of more flours ,safe to use for my grand daughter ,most kind of you.
Things are looking up here ,john back ,Marie back ,fresh blooooood ,lol way to go.
Nice to see you terrifying the stall holders again Brenda [joking of course] but you are doing the right thing ,a little at a time ,wish i could get through there too ,but i don't think it's on for the time being ,Liz can't cope with all the leg work anymore.
We did have a good time however and are now looking at a longer holiday, a week ,Monday to Sunday at Southport ,and a Monday to Friday at Carla gran ,the best of both worlds.
The little square B B Q did well ,we had ours on the Wednesday and i catered for 10 rellies ,using two of the instant lite B B q s ,which sat in the B B q well ,and did a full on al fresco meal ,with side salads ,burgers ,sausages , fish,buns from Asda for the grand daughter ,and sausages ditto,she was as pleased as punch.
I took one pic of Liz with her nephew [the sparky from Carla gran i mention from time to time] a really Biiiiig lad as you will see .
He operates ll over the country at very many caravan parks ,and we are proud of him ,it being his own buisiness and only four years since startup.
Wow my veggie patch has come on by leaps and bounds .i have beans on the plants,heads on my calabrese, the cabbages are doing great ,as are my spinach plants ,kale ,and beetroot and tomatoes green at the minute ,but lots and lots ,slurp .he he.
Time to go now ,by the time i have watered the greenhouse for the night ,i am off to bed :-).
Catch you all in the morning .Fred :-D

Evening all,and welcome Marie, you can join us whenever you are able ,you will be very welcome.
I am in Manchester .England,but have been lucky to visit Oz twice,i have a friend who lives near Melbourne.Victoria.
Dorothy is in Canada and I will leave her to tell you about her partof the world.
I have been lucky to meet both fred and Dorothy in person,both times at Bury Market,which is a great market in Bury which is just north of Manchester.
Dorothy lived there as a child before going to Canada and Fred come over for a visit when he was on holiday at Fleetwood,where he was last week..We had a good walk round ,and then a nice cup of tea and a chat ,its great to put faces to names as they say.
I am retired now and have a son who is still at home with us.
WE have been trying to grow our own, this is our second year ,but have not had that much of a success really only with tomatoes and potatos
Dorothy,hope the tennis was what you wanted .I did enjoy the little i watched.
Fred,Great to hear you had such a good time and thanks for the piccies they are very good.Hope you have as good a time on the other holidays.
Better get on with my other emails etc.Take care
brenda

hi everyone and hello to marie as brenda has mentioned I live in barie ontario canada but I used to live in walshaw bury and left at the age of 15 to come with my family to canada(not my choice) but have been here gosh 54 years how time flies. my great uncle went to australia in the early 1900's and my dad worked there in the 1920's for a while with ford cars then came back to england. fred thanks for the photo's I just opened them this morning good to see them, brenda hope you enjoyed your lunch with friends as you may have read I was not pleased with the tennis but am enjoying the royal tour,when are you going to be allowed to eat david's cake what is he saving it for!!!, to-day about 15 minutes down the highway to newmarket there going to be a massive police funeral a week ago a 32yrold police man was killed he had pulled over a van and in the process the driver a 15yr old lad panicked and in turn the van rolled over on the policeman killing him he leaves a young family a wife a 2yr old daughter and a 9week old son the 15yr old has been charged with first degree murder and is possibly paralysed no lience and had stolen his dads van for a joy ride, they expect about 6000 police from the u.s.a and canada to attened. very sad all around well the weather has been great but may change to-day 30 in the shade but high humidity making it about 40, plus maybe storms to-night .well time for the 2nd cup of coffee and to get the day started bye for now dorothy

evening all [bestest Dixon Of Dock Green ]impersonation ,lol :-),been sooooo busy today that this is the first chance i have had to come on here ,he he
I have the dreaded abccess under that tooth that i thought was just loose [ouch] so i goes to my dentist ,and was put on a new anti'bi that makes you sleep like Rip Van Winkle :-S and awoke this morning at gone 8-30grrrrrrr ,3-30 minutes late from my usual start time in the garden :-\.
Still ,i got stuck in ,out front first ,borders weeded ,and fed /watered,bins out ready for collection [just in time :-0]and then after a coffee and bins brought back in,i started out back.
Wahet ,we has courgettes :-D strawberries,ready to pick ,and there are beans of all three sorts now swelling on the plants,the apples and plums are doing great ,and ,wonder of wonders ,i have leaves on the first of my Nectarine trees :-D,who is a happy bunny,lol.
I have to go back to the dentist Wednesday week at 9am to have the offending tooth removed ,and that should be the end of that matter.
had a bit of a panic this afternoon,reading on the net of a possible fire risk in the house ,one Beko fridge freezer [my pride and joy] ,the monster one in the kitchen,but ,panic over ,someone on genes had already checked it out and posted on genes, a thread about it ,panic over ,my freezer is well over the production date ,and is far to young to be a worry.
Seems the lining catches fire due to a fault and gives off clouds of toxic fumes,and although all my appliancies are insured by British gas ,and Currys ,it don't help someone with Emphysema to get a lungful of that stuff. :-( .
Well ,tomorrow we are going to take the car in to the paint
shop at Nissan]confirmed by phone this morning ,and then head off to Sunderland for the day my second favourite place to visit ,taking the mobile with us so that the garage can get in touch once the car is ready.
Nothing much else to report ,tea, is pasta today,maybe a can of Tuna thrown in ,
Footnote ,[you are gonna love this one ,he he.we had a sort out of our stock of tinned food today ,all is still well in date , :-) ,however ,any one remember me saying that the Japanese reactor disaster would mean a shortage of Tuna stocks ,hmmmmmm ? weeeell,we have 40 ,yes 40 tins in our cubby hole :-S,eeeeeer ,i think Tuna should now read Tunny ,[ a play on words ] :-P,what a daft thing to do ,[thought] Brenda ,do you think i could open a stall you know where and get rid of a few tins for some black puddings and exotic cheeses ,he he ? .
off to hang myself in shame ,lol.
Fred,the Tuna Man from Newcastle.

Evening everyone,Its been a lot cooler here today and we have had a lot of rain as well,but its needed in places so can not grumble.
Think you could open a stall with the tuna anywhere Fred,, thought I was bad think we have about 19 or 20 tins ,some in spring water for david and some in oil for me and John.
Hope the tooth is ok now and the anti bi are working.My back tooth is crumbling again so think its time it was taken out ,will be calling the dentist to get an appointment,he will try and talk me into having it refilled.,but don;t think there is enougth to re fill.
Dorothy what a horrible thing to happen to that police man.Hope it shows other young people that they have to be more responsible.
the royal visit is still big in the news glad you are enjoying it.
Will close now ,nearly time for my soap,HolbyCity,then CSI ,
Brenda

hi it is still tuesday 8-15pm just read the note from fred sorry about the tooth but the garden news is wonderful what a lovely choice of produce you have for you and liz and the family, gosh brenda you have a tooth problem as well hope it gets better soon, well I watched the police funeral this afternoon with a big box of tisues, the 2 young children where present for a while the baby in his mothers arms the wife /mom gave a short speech that brought most people to their knees, thousands of police came the hall could only hold 3500 the other 3-4000 lined up outsie with a croed of the general public. I thought we were going to get a storm this evening but it has passed us by, the royals have annouced they are giving up part of their day off to go to slave lake in alberta to-morrow the town that was desimated by wild fires quite thoughtful of them it was a late annoucement so the hoards of media will not be able to get there as fast and give the town and the young couple some privacy I suppose some papers will have some unkin words to say about them but I think that it is very thoughtful, well time for an evening coffee on the balcony with a good book on these kind of evenings I like to take advantage makes up[ for the months of snow when it is not possible bye for now dorothy

Evening all ,just a few lines as I have not got much to say today.
Weather has been mixed but we have not had the amount of rain that was predicted only a fgew showers.
Managed to get some errands done today ,but was really tired when i got back and we had lunch.
Was going out tomorrow but might give it a miss,and just potter round the house.
You sound really content with your coffe and book on the balcony Dorothy.David sits in the garden with the daily papers in the evening ,but the sounds from other gardens mainly the different music,puts me off ,I like the mornings .The funeral sounded very moving ,just a shame it had to happen.have not seen the news today so do not now about the new trip by Will and Kate.
My tooth has not got any worse so will leave it abit longer before going to the dentist.Hope Fred is ok.He does sound very organised with his garden.We had a tub with lettuce that was doing really well and ithought I would not be buying any for a few weeks but this week end they have gone all withered!!
Better get some tea on,Take care brenda

Hi there everyone Fred IS still alive he he ,been a tad busy these last couple of days is all.
I had a bit of a fright this morning after which i'm afraid i gave the wife the Bollocking of her life [pardon the French ] but how stupid can a person get.
i was just settling down to a cup of tea when i heard her scream HEEELP ,from upstairs,and thinking the worst ,i shot up from the chair cup of tea going flying,and flew upstairs [well for me anyway] to find Hissy ,on the window ledge ,a 15 foot drop onto concrete ,and to far out ,for me to get a hold of her.
Luckily she decided to sidle backwards far enough for me to get hold of her and pull her back indoors,but i ask you ,how stupid can a person get ,open a window fully ,upstairs yet ,with a cat in the room :-( i said sorry for losing it afterwards ,but i honestly thought i had lost my little darling pussy tat.
Sorry about the toothy peg Brenda ,snap,i am on anti bi's still ,waiting until next week when i go and get mine removed ,lol,sigh ,into each life a little rain must fall ,he he :-).
Sounds to me as though you let your tub dry out Brenda ,with that many plants in a small space they could do with a daily splash believe it or not.
Yep i am chuffed with the garden this year ,so far i have only lost [maybe] one variety of produce the perpetual spinach which was starting to seed,maybe from under watering as well ,but ,i have removed the seed heads and i may get away with it yet :-).
My first courgette i think i will leave until it grows half marrow size ,and treat it as such ,cutting and stuffing it with a mixture of rice ,sultanas ,and minced beef yum.
Got an idea from Someone in Canada [can't remember who ] who says to cut the fruit into thinnish slices ,toss them in flour mixed with herbs ,and deep fry them ,which sounds good so i will give it a go.
We dropped the car off yesterday morning for the body repair ,and picked it back up at four in the afternoon ,and i was well pleased with the result ,spotless it was.
The weather had changed by the time we gotto the bus stop ,after leaving the garage ,so instead of coming home ,we went through to Sunderland on the metro,to walk round the park ,round the markets and have dinner at Yates, in the town centre,two well cooked presented meals for £8-50p ,including two filter coffees, i had long tail scampi mushy peas ,and chips, and the wife had traditional bangers ,mash ,and peas,both meals spot on ,and very well presented by cheerful staff who went out of their way to be helpful.a far cry from some of staff in Newcastle eateries,and we are def' going back in the future :-).
We rounded off the afternoon by revisiting the Winter Gardens ,outside the park which ,by the way ,was immaculate as usual.
The wife spotted the bananas on the palm and drew my gaze as soon as she mentioned it ,the fiirst time i have seen the seed pod hanging below the hand,and i was gobsmacked,never having seen this before ,only ever having seen the hands on their own oversees ,i assumed that the seeds were those tiny things in the banana core itself.
So ,out came the phone camera again ,and we took pics of the trees and palms in the hothouse.
It was then that i got the idea about my orange tree to be so i hunted out the head gardener and asked him if he would take it ,my kids having no interest in horticulture.
He said yes ,so i will take the tree through this next week ,for him to put among the other citrus trees ,where it will be safe from the winter ,and where i can go and see it any time i wish,and i'm happy with that ,i was always thinking that a more severe winter than the last ,and it being too big to bring in doors i would lose it in the long term :-D.
Well ,as Brendas ,pad no doubt ,it is very windy ,lashing down with rain ,so i think we will go visit the youngest son today ,as we can't go anywhere tomorrow,shopping in the morning for the weekend [no more Tuna] ,he he, and in the afternoon ,we know not when ,the gas company come to service the hot water /heating system ready for the winter ,and by 'eck ,i think we are gonna need it looks the way things are going that it will be as bad ,if not worse than the last one.
catch you later all,take care ,and enjoy the weekend ,Fred :-)

goodmorning a sunny hot day ahead but nice and cool gosh fred you and liz did have a scare with the cat hope all is well, it sounds like you had a nice day out ending up with a good meal how I miss good mushy peas. glad brenda's tooth has calmed down a bit it must be the power of suggestion as I know have a sore lower front tooth I would prefer to think it is all in my mind not fond of dentists, not much new at the moment a rather quiet week though I do have to pop in too the library this am t hree books are in for me I still have 44 on hold but some are from england and they take forever to come in, as I have mentioned my only talant is reading and I go through at least 10-12 books a week being a speed reader. plus I guess it is the one thing I enjoy the most. going to try out the steam gadget I recieved for my birthday as I have some laundry to doso I willtry this new way of ironing sounds like fun. my sister and husband are going to the calgary stampede to-day maybe they will see will and kate I told her she should have offered them their condo in canmore for their day off as it is lovely and the views are spectactular!!!! anyway time to pop down to the laundry room and do my chores, oh yes yesterday I stocked up on boneless chicken breasts bought 10 for only 5 pounds and some thick slices of back bacon re stocking the freezer is going well I have found some good buys lately the chicken breasts one will make 2 meals for me as they were a good size on hot meal and one cold bye for now dorothy

hi everyone,we all seem to be having trouble tooth wise .i must admit mine has calmed down alot so as long as its like that i am leaving well alone.
Well done on the new home for your orange tree fred,and those meals sound very good.we have a few Yates in Manchester and we used to go but have not been for ages,The nearest one to us closed down and is still empty.I can understand your being annoyed about the cat,luckily our windows do not open at the ledge level so our cats would not be able to get out ,but there was a cat lived across the road and it caused no end of problems getting on to the roof of the bay window and then jumping on to the tree next door!!!!!
Mind you it never came to any harm but its owner was in tears a few times.!!
Hope you enjoy all those books Dorothy I have a few on reservation myslf but have only had a couple upto now, Been trying a couple of new authours ,well new to meanyway,I will letyou know how I fins them.
My best friends daughter is expecting her first baby this week ,and my friends first granchild,now two days overdue,and we are like cats on hot bricks waiting for news.
I will keep you posted.
weather was supposed to be wet again today but has not been too bad, not been dry enougth to get my washing dried and as its towels I will put them in the drier overnite ,its cheaper for me then..
Need to look for a new paper shredder,the motor has gone on the one we have had for a while it was my dads so its a good age,
I used to burn all that sort of stuff statements etc ,but we can not do that now. so when its shredded it goes in the compost with all the peelings and leaves etc.
Time to get a cup of tea and then send some emails.
Take care
Brenda

I am about 4copies of hello magazine behind I suppose they will come all at once. well this is the last day for the visit from the young royals and it has been great in my opinion his speech last night was great , yes I am a monarchist but that goes back to my love of british history thanks to a great teacher at my school on walshaw road way back he made the lessons come alive, there is a special 2hr program this morning from calgary so I shall watch it as I flip the duster and carpet sweeper around maybe I will see chris and wayne in the crowd, I am glad they got to see lake louise it is very beautiful the first time I saw it I think that I mentioned while sitting in the resturant that has the best view I started to cry my sister told be don't be embarrased everyone we have brought here has done the same away from the cities this country has wonderful sights you forget how big this country is at times after all it is a 4hr flight to see chris 2 days by train hope you all have a good week-end bye for now dorothy

Brenda

morning Brenda & Dorothy,and anyone else who happens by.
I was going to complain about our weather ,and the 19c temperatures we have up here in the north ,but as i type ,the sun is trying to get out ,so , won't lol, just in case i upset it ,and it goes back to sleep :-\.
On top of that of course ,there was the hammering they got up the north in Edinburgh yesterday, with the flash floods and mud slides coming down the slopes on to the roads,basements flooded ,and in at least one instance ,cars floating down a road,and all this in roads i have walked down many times[ morning side] so i think our City have gotten off lightly.
Well ,anyway ,the garden is coming on nicely ,with all the extra rain ,the onions and garlic plants are huge,and the brassica are not far behind .
the tomatoes ,i may have to take off the stems and ripen indoors but ,hey ,you can't have everything can you? :-).
You are right to bring to us what you said about the size of your country Dorothy ,we over here tend to think of countries in relation to the british isles.
Funnily enough ,it was brought home to me good style only last night ,when i turned on the T V in the bedroom while i had my bed time drink ,and saw Ray Mears in Canada ,with a programme talking about bears ,and their habitat..it needs something like that to give us ,in a small country an idea of the immense size of a BIG country , i was that engrossed my drink went stone cold lol,wow ,could i have a good small holding over there ,he he :-D.
Time for me to go and do some chores [sigh ] so i will catch you all over the weekend ,Fred :-D.

hi everyone yes fred you could have a large holding over here still lots of land available last evening I went with lindy and Ian to his football game(american footie) and on the way not far from me there are 88 acres available for sale interested!! of course I was not really sure what was happening with the game as it isnot one I follow but apparently Ian made to good blocks but the game was stopped about 15mins from the end as a player on the other team was down with a neck injury and as a precaution an ambulance was called to take him to the hospital for a good check up. to-day Bryan came home on a day off from camp from 3pm to-day and he has to be back at 6pm to-morrow. so I will give him a ring to see how it is all going,Lindy mentioned brenda that both she and Laura got to see will and kate in the evening on parliament hill, but her aunt met them the next day to shake hands and had a chatt but was not pleased that mr harper also was able to shake her hand her son is in parliament for his home riding as a n.d.p candidate the official opposition now .it has been a great day weather wise to-day and even though it was hot I had a nice breeze on the balcony so I was out most of the day reading and enjoying the day. take care dorothy

Good morning everybody,hope you all enjoyed your weekends ,I know i did,
Saturday i went to the library and got a few books,one is about diet and arthritis which is a bit more reading than reiceipes ,but i keep reading it and will hope that things will sink in my brain at some point.
weather has been mixed over the weekend but Saturday turned out really good in the late afternoon.
Might go back to the shops i went to on Friday and look for some more little presents for the birthdays in the next few months.
Have bedding to wash today and hope i manage to get it dried outside,its dry now but it can change so quickly.
John and his mates have gone to another golf club to day for a game of golf,they have deceided that they will go to a different one at least once a month ,just for a change.
Was busy yesterday with my neices coming for Sunday dinner,it was good to see them,my great neice who is 18months old was with her mum,and it was brilliant to see how she is growing up.
Going to see if I can get a book on Amazon for Johns birthday,which is tomorrow,depends how much they charge for a delivery tomorrow,If its mor than the book costs i might not bother,I know I can not get the book in the shops.as it is out of print.
Nice to hear your DIL and granddaughter got to see the ROyals,the tour is going very well,I think.
Fred your garden seems like its keeping you busier than ever,John is still looking at getting a smallish green house with persplex windows,which will be better than the two plastic things he has now,He is still thinking about taking up some of the flags in the garden ,but because of the trees in the neighbours gardens which stop the sunlight getting to all the garden,he is a bit hesitent.
Hope you have a good day.take care ,Brenda
Have a good day
