Thanks, Lisa - they have loads of oats in so they are very healthy. *nods

However, they also have plenty of butter and sugar in............ but you can't have everything!

[bearded bloke]

in modern marketing terms they would be ...

Nutritional high energy snacks Hazel

Carry on the Smugness gal

[Florence Fennel]

Hazel those biscuits look divine. I'll gladly go for a run if I can have one when I get back Are the pies cottage? The one in the glass dish looks identical to the one we're having tonight, prepared on Monday. Not sure how I will manage when my Mondays run out!

Late clocking in again, naughty me. Almost afraid to say what I've been up to in case Rary gets into trouble but hey Ho tough in Rary .

Rear lounge windows rubbed down and painted. Hand rails on stair washed down. How do they get to be so muckit.

Lifted some laminate flooring at top of stair. When I laid that I removed the skirting laid the laminate under, trimmed the skirting so it was at the same height, job was a good Un. Carpet going back down though so been fitting fillets of wood under the skirtings so they don't have to come off. Had to b*gger about repairing plaster last time and that takes forever.

Repaired the felt roof on my neighbours shed in a spare minute.

Now making a pot of vegetable broth for part of tea.


Been a buzzzzzzzzzzy bee.

[Lisasbolt]

Yes you have, if you can do that much in a day please come over here and do some of my jobs

[KevinM67]

Here yer go Hazel (no string needed)

Jeezuz BB, I was nearly throwing up listening to that dribble

For those of us that don't drive but walk/cycle/use public transport to get about - rain, like any other type of weather is just something you put up with - you don't get an Olympic Medal or anything like that.

Despite the 'rain' and having the day off, I went up to the plot. I managed to do a good bit of tidying up, sorting out pallets for future use, pottering about, etc.

Being absolutely soaked through, I managed to find some inner inspiration that motivated me to make my way by Morri$ons on the way home and get a box of wine.

I was going to get a much needed haircut today but I'll have a few glasses of vino tonight and maybe cut it myself.

Tell you what - I baked these abbey crunch last night - let's put the kettle on...

Hazel I did my usual google to find the recipe and the top one was yours from the vine

Had a lovely day, went over to our new neighbours for a cuppa and natter and she is such a lovely lady. Luckily she shares a passion for gardening too - admittedly more on the flowers and plants side - but good to know she will be caring for her garden and we can swap tips over the fence

Busy day tomorrow. Got family coming and doing lunch. Friday I hope will be quieter and I might get into the garden again.

[Hazel at the Hill]

Back from 'long hills session' - 5 1/2 miles up and down hills in 3deg temp and heavy drizzle. Have put cottage pie in oven. Off for scalding hot bath.

*smug.

I'm *smug too because I don't need a scalding hot bath to recover from any exertions, as I've been pottering around the house and garden all day.............and I've eaten my dindins already. The fire's lit, there's a glass of red within reach and a cuddly puppy alongside me. Life's good

[Nannysally99]

Evening all. Had a lovely day with the little GG.
Also had our daughter and the Lesser spotted Grandson for dinner as well.
I swear that boy never stops growing lol
Two loaves have been made today, sent them home with one.
Luckily the flour I use is on offer in Sainsbugs for £1 a bag and I can get 3 loaves out of that. The other costs apart from electric are negligible.
Checked on my chitting spuds and they are coming along beautiful, chitting very slowly.
Just nice to have a bit of piece and quiet to catch up on the vine

[Tripmeup]

I'm smug too...and snug!!
Because I have my 4 year old son nestled into me as he eats marshmallows whilst watching a movie..
Glass of red within reach too VC

Although I am getting worried...
Bought a bag of groceries at lunchtime and clipped bottom of bag off the ground, cue a broken bottle of red spilled in the bag
And not 5 mins ago, I clipped one of our good wine glasses off the granite counter...broken glass

Better have a glass before I do any more damage

VC, yours sounds more like my normal days, i will never just run 5 miles, i cannot do it unless a lion is behind me!! Again Hazel you are making me very jealous!

Just put the clean bedding on the bed and it is calling to me Lisa Lisa cozy up in bed ....................
