I had to buy a red pepper at Tesco because No.1 grandson wouldn't release it from his 2 yr old grasp.
It was well worth 50p for the peace & quite

It was called Bejam in my day....

I bet you still have Budgens.

The 5th Emergency Service? Last one replaced by Coop last year :-(

Lovely supper tonight: cold cooked chicken (thigh fillets that I'd marinated overnight in greek yoghurt, garlic and indian spices before baking in the oven), potato salad made with jersey royals, fresh herbs and home made french dressing, and a watercress and lambs lettuce salad. Oh, and some ripe nectarines for afters.

Another successful meal from the Land of Yellow Stickers coupled with some kitchen know-how.

Did you go to Powderham castle, Starcross, Cockwood, Balls monument?

No, we were there for about two hours in the afternoon, by the time we'd had lunch and a walk round the park we hadn't a lot of time left.

We are returned from beer cheese club.

A rather tangy brie style ewe is in the fridge for tomorrow.

Am convinced that the hot weather is affecting my internet connection; even the simplest pages are taking aaaaages to load, and as for i-player, forget it...

No poncy fibre broadband out here in the boonies. Ran a speed test and am getting 0.3 mbps instead of the usual 1.5 mbps. Was fine till I went to bed Sunday, but since then it's been a total pile of manure and I'm struggling to get things done. Even my Zooplus order didn't go through because the payment timed out.

Suspect the copper cables are to blame, having likely expanded / sagged in the heat. And I'm several miles away from the nearest exchange... *sigh*

Ah well, there is the food forum, they get to see all my culinary creations, they are far more appreciative and do not have 'issues' with wooden boards.

I have no issues with wooden boards....
Some of my favorite homes have included wooden boards.

I stubbed my toe on the way upstairs. I'm not sure if it was a terrorist incident, but I put the bathroom in "lockdown" anyway.

It's all kicking off on the Koningsplein.

I would have been captured by that camera several times over the last few years.

This morning got off to a good start with huge tummy tickles and a head, chin and ear massage.

I'll probably not see him again until tea time.

They just put a clip on BBC just now of two elephants rescuing a baby elephant from a pool.

It's mostly on my face. Years ago when I was horse managing/riding every day, no one bothered with sunblock (it was greasy and horse hair got stuck in it which was horrible). Then a few years back I had to have a small lesion removed from my forehead, which was a bit traumatic because I was expecting a little incision like a punch biopsy and I ended up with a vertical 1.5-inch scar. As a result of that experience I'm a bit more liberal with the sunblock these days.

Then its a beard & floppy hat I recommend.
