I've been like a fat blob since our ladies birthday lunch today. A bottle of Prosseco is never good during the day . Got to get myself moving or it will be bedtime soon

Bet you sleep well tonight, NS!

I remember when I started working (years ago, yeah yeah), it was the norm to go out for a drink at lunchtime. It was 'happy hour', so if me and two pals went out, we bought a round each (three doubles ), then tottered back in our pencil skirts, stilettos and big shoulder pads (perms to match!) to work in the afternoon.

I changed industries, and one of my jobs was to go to London every couple of weeks for the day to court our customers, and take them for coffee/lunch/afternoon tipple/after work drink. My liver must have been made of iron! These days, if I have more than one small glass at lunchtime, I'm good for nothing in the afternoon.

I remember when one of the bigger contractors in the industry was bought out by an American company who had (as was usual for them) a 'dry' policy - an appalling innovation, as although their reps could still take out customers, the reps had to stick to soft drinks. This must have been incredibly tedious, as the only thing the reps/customers had in common - frankly - was the reps' expense account. How boring would it have been for the reps to watch everyone else get pie-eyed - and insult to injury - for the reps to foot the bill.

.... and back to the present - I went for my run (rubbish, rubbish, rubbish! and it's the race in 10 days time! ), then .........
bought cat food from Sains;
got the bus home (via little Waitrose where I bought a couple of big pork chops marked down from £3.88 to £1.49 ;
made a batch of biscuits (had to whisper that in case VC is around!);
rescued Domino cat from that young whippersnapper tabby of the Next-doors who decided to come round and pull a face;
had sossies on a bed of roasted home grown tommies, with home grown potatoes and home grown french beans (*smug);
did a Wonderwoman twirl and went to the pub with friends for midweek beer.

And now it's time for bed.

We've been trying to eat out of the freezer to make some space, its not working. Thought I'd make a veg curry to use up some courgettes and runner beans but as usual I made too much so now there's two extra trays in the freezer.

Can't sleep. So I am on here and looking on the internet at seeds!!! It has just turned payday and being on here is not helping. I may(might) end up spending my wage......I need to step away. There is so much I want ha.

[cariann88]

Just nipped in to say Good Morning. Dull and drizzly again here. Have a good day

[Glutton4...]

G'Moooooooooooornin' Peeps! Monsoon has returned. Better check the forecast, as we have two gardens to 'do' today, so need to fit in around the showers.

Coffee?

[veggiechicken]

Thanks G4

No sign of Hazel's biscuits yet or I'd have shared them around

Sun is trying to put his hat on - needs to try a bit harder to dry up the mud that I call a garden
Have a sooooper day, everyone - see ya around

[Tripmeup]

Morning all.....

Much brighter day here today thankfully after last night's winter like appearance....

[Scarlet]

Not a good start to the day here. First day for schools per season rugby training and I get a speeding fine! That van has been there most mornings for the last 3 years too! Should know better

[Nannysally99]

Very slow to brighten up here, it may never, who knows. Tablet collection this morning then a good sort out of tomatoes .
Time for Indoor ripening I think. Will be using the last of our potatoes in the next fortnight, will try and grow more next year. Going to be much more selective in variety as well.
Feel quite sad that the summer is winding down.

Aha - that's why I am so glad of my new little chest freezer in the garage - I hoofed all the beans, rhubarb and rasps in there, and now I can take advantage of all those yellow sticker jobbies at the supermarket. Curry sounds nice - is it one of those that you just make it up as you go along?

That is because we do not have biscuits for breakfast, do we? We have biscuits with elevenses, or with a cuppa in the afternoon, or before bedtime. Honestly, where were you dragged up??

From behind the desk, it looks like sunshine with an autumn feel. It's been raining overnight, and Domino is waiting for it to dry up so he can take up his customary position on the bench.

Seeing the accountant later, so I shall be mostly shuffling spreadsheets before then...

Hazel I call it garden curry, just wondered around with my trug mostly courgettes and runners with radish pods, peas, chard, toms, peppers and potatoes.
