Chitchat thread #24

Sounds a fantastic plan!I’d be up for it?
Not that I/we can get all the ingredients maybe? I’m sure we could work something out

Excuse me ... I don't want any inference I got you lot in the pudding club ... certainly not after the operation I had

[mothhawk]

Have a safe journey, Nicos. I sympathise with rough seas ahead - I'm a really bad sailor and throw up at the first ripple on a puddle.

[greenishfing]

Have a good trip Nicos! I hope the channel is calm and glass like for you.

[Nicos]

Thank you everyone.
Decided to have an early night...then realised it was the Bake Off final so I sat and watched it.

No spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet

Make sure you all wave as I drive past...
No you of course Snoop and Iris - if I get to wave to either of you then I'll be pretty off course!

Lets see who arrives first....me or the Smiles!

[bramble]

If you wave at me Nicos you will know you sailed past your port.
Have a great trip.

Morning

A mild day here no frost, wind or rain, just a bit on the cold side. more leaves to rake but thats it for the garden today.

Best scones I ever made were Mary Berry ones, delicious…wonder where that recipe is?!!

Jay you'll probably find those scones on her website (if she has one) unless it was a special, I hate losing a recipe that worked.

enjoy your day.

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

Nicos, if you're reading this, the smiles will be there afore ye as most of them didn't come home the night before last because of the rain. Could whoever has them let them out for a bit? They'll come back to you once they've done the rounds, so no need to worry about them getting lost. I've still got a few that decided to stay put, but I don't think they'll be going anywhere today either. It's bucketing down again.

I've managed to pretty well clear the decks of work. Just a bit to do and then billing.

As for the pudding club, nick the grief, I only have myself to blame for getting the book. But I wouldn't have known about it if you hadn't started your thread.

Anyway, on with the show. Have a great day, everyone.

[bramble]

Good morning all.
Dull and grey and a shower on the way,
Going to the physio this morning as I have been in pain with sciatica.
Not sure yet what the afternoon will bring.
Have a good day all.

[mothhawk]

Morning all.No smiles here Snoop, it's dull and damp today so perhaps they've found a warmer spot.

I've been waiting in for a delivery from Royal Mail which has just arrived. Honestly, if I pop out early the postie always turns up early, if I stay in it's practically afternoon before he arrives. I don't understand why the times vary so, when it's the same postie doing the delivery, and he has a van, so it's not like the bag weighs him down. Oh well, such are the joys of village life.

[Snoop Puss]

^At least you have a postie, mothhawk. We have to go to the post office to collect our mail, only open 8.30 to 9.30 am. Terrible at this time of year when there's a hard frost all over the windscreen... But I can't complain. I count myself lucky the local builder's merchant takes in deliveries.

Jay22 is it this one by any chance?

Jay22 is it this one by any chance?

Why do I suddenly want to eat 10 of these thingies because they look sooooo delish?

[greenishfing]

Well, awake before the crack of dawn again. When I had done varying jobs around the house I decided to set about the printer again! Much headbanging and blue air later and definitely outside my comfort zone but......when I realised that I could print anything on my phone and control the settings: size, quality, quantity, etc. from another room I was happy.
Going out shortly then soup making. It feels cold again.

[Iris_Germany]

What a beautiful picture and beautiful cat.
She looks like a black panther in small.
