I'm as stiff as a board this morning, 49 miles on the bike yesterday morning, an hour in the garden yesterday afternoon and an hours yoga last night might have been overdoing it slightly.

I don't want to get ready because then it will be time to go back to Manchester after a week away with family and friends and celebrating my son's wedding. I'll have so much to do when I get back. I left Suffolk on Monday and am now in Winchester at my parents who I will see later in August but my sister and family will have gone back to Canada. I predict tears at noon.

Sometimes I can't tell if rolls were unevenly dusted with flour when I bought them, or if they have become mouldy.

Aaarrrghh! French beans!

Snowed under with them at the moment. We are picking them a carrier bag at a time. The runner beans are just starting to produce as well.

Looks like we'll have to resort to leaving them on doorsteps at night, knocking and running away!

I now ache all over after my unplanned visitation with the tarmac this morning. Bike is fine, it fell on top of me.

However, I did go yellow stickering in Tesco tonight. Not a chance with the chilled stuff - Big Hair and her cronies were there. Apparently they're there every evening according to one of the till ladies I've gotten really friendly with.

I bagged the one thing left they didn't want, which was a higgidy quiche - their loss as the higgidy things are actually very tasty. I did however, have a good hunt in terms of the fruit, veg and bakery. Best buys were packs of 8 croissants for 4p, brioche loaves for 10p, boxes of pears for 20p, avocadoes at 9p each, a melon at 10p and nets of assorted citrus at 15p each.

Oh, and they had the boxes of Guylian belgian seashell chocs on clearance at £2 a box. A few of them might have found their way into my trolley.

Higgidy quiches are really good

Have you lost your Manc accent again now?

This popped up on another forum and I just thought I would share

Soooooo,
Do you think Trump is looking around for Harlequin, now that Scaramouche hasn't worked out?

I've been there too. You have my sympathies.

I remember one year I had so many tomatoes I ended up turning them into chutney as I didn't have the heart to just pitch them. I think I still might have the odd jar or three left...

I like their stuff generally. This quiche is the feta and red pepper one.

I now have a whopping pedal-shaped bruise down my left shin following yesterday's tumble. It's rather painful too.

In other news, I have a lovely piece of beef rib simmering away in the crockpot with beer, onions, garlic, bay leaf, pepper and fresh herbs from the garden. It smells amazing. Looking forward to supper tonight.

Had some of the 10p brioche for brekky. Went down well with , butter and my peach & mango jam.

I like that you told the story in the time order of a Christopher Nolan movie.

Sounds yummy/sore

Today in the field at the end of my garden there is a re-inactment of "The Birds". There is also a ginormously large tractor and ploughing trailer attached. Tasha is guarding the garden and giving the tractor a hard stare each time it passes.

She is going to the V. E. T. tomorrow for the removal of the decaying and infected tooth. @Reynard - will she feel better very soon after the effects of the operation have gone, or will it take time for her to start eating again properly?

I have placed a bid on an item from a branch of the Cats' Protection League somewhere in Hampshire. I wonder if this is part of the package.
