Morning all.

That looks super Sylvs....thank you. Just slurping my 'wake me up' coffee!




Cor! That Fans is showing her age ain't she??? :-D




Mind you, we all get to the stage where we know why it's young folk who are meant to have children............. ;-)

Good morning all,

Just munching my way through that lovely breakfast......... yuuuummm !

Thank you Sylvia - Lunch looks delicious too <3

Grandchildren are returning from holiday today - I have SO missed them!

It was very nice to have a break from looking after them but I can't wait to see them again ;-)

I think they get back sometime around lunchtime so I will give them a ring early afternoon and see if we can go round for a short visit (I keep thinking that maybe I should let them all 'settle back' for the rest of the day but I don't think I can wait.............

See you all later,

Dea x

Gin,

Would you like a glass (Or two) of wine with that? ;-)

No thanks Mr Jones.......water please, it's Sunday!

Hmm.....I think I see what you mean! :-D :-D

Only 2 lots of potatoes really Persie - Roast or mashed?

Sweet potatoes are not really 'potatoes' are they ?

Parsnip is really high on carbo as well...

Makes good wine...

Very quiet today....going to go cook a curry for later, still full from lunch :-D

I am not surprised you are still full from lunch.

Well I am off to dream land gone midnight here in the antipodes.
Been watching a program on our Southern Coast line and Stewart Island.. Very rugged, great scenery though.

Well,

I have seen my little grandchildren and they have had a lovely holiday in Mallorca.

I have to say, they are both lovely but they are like 'chalk and cheese'

Grandson - not yet 3 and totally fearless loved the beach - he headed straight for the sea at full speed and dived in head first - loving every minute of it, buried himself in the sand and would have buried his head too if he hadn't been stopped!

Grand-daughter (6) didn't like the beach because the sand got all over her and the sea water was 'too salty' and she could taste it all day!

They did LOTS of things and had a lovely time - their parents are totally worn out now :-D

Glad they had a nice time Dea.....funny how siblings can be soooo different

Ohhhh - peanuts Cynthia - I could just eat some of them !!

I will go and raid the cupboards, there MUST be some in there somewhere !! >>>>>>>>>>>>>

Found some cashew nuts, almonds and 'pork crackling' - that's me sorted till breakfast.

Nite nite all,

Dea Xxx

I need my eyes testing, I've just read Ginny's post as curry on lawn, cut drive, swept bathroom cleaned

I've been baking apple pies for my friend.
