Karen Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 i went the other day and they had hanging baskets at £5 i double checked all the tags and decided i would ask my dad to pick one up... went to one store and the same hanging basket was £13! went to the one where i saw them at £5 2 days ago and again they are £13... they weren't reduced or anything the other day... i was most annoyed and didn't buy one. I've just been to Tesco and they had some very nice looking hanging baskets outside. The purple petunia ones were especially good - they were £5 each. I'm having an old favourite for tea - liver and onions I haven't had that in a very long time. I only hope it tastes as good as when my nanna used to make it. I am also serving up marrowfat peas with it and it must be 30 years or more since I last had them! Archie will be helping me out with the liver. Sorry to say this, but blurgh! That reminds me so much of school dinners. Oh dear Alex. That's horrible and quite scary and quite a shock when you cut your finger like that I went out walking yesterday with my fleece jacket on and a hat and today, no coat with my sleeves rolled up! It's been sunny here too, you might almost believe that it's time for summer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 My liver and onions was yummy. Archie was very interested whilst I dished up and sat giving me 'the stare' whilst I was tucking in. I couldn't take it any longer and went and got him a dish full which he ate beside me with great relish. He even ate the marrowfat peas I added and he normally gives veggies a very wide berth. And oh-my-dawg how good were those marrowfats! Alex no mash because I forgot to get the tatties Snow I hope the burn of the chillies will have been sufficiently diluted by the gastric system before they reappear!

merledogs Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Moaning I'd share the liver and onions Maz but marrowfat peas Griff - good luck with the sharing of bad news but hope it's the last for a very long time I felt awful when I went to bed last night, all shivery and freezing cold and nauseous. Feel better after a good night's sleep but I have a sore throat coming and I ache all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hay fever Alex? Apparently the tree pollen is bad this year and even people who don't ever get hay fever are suffering. Well after last weeks trip to Castell Coch this morning hubby has another sight seeing trip planned and I was nagged even before my first fag & coke of the day to hurry up and get ready as we need to get there early, so why is it that I'm sitting here showered, dressed, packed and shoes on ready to go and he's still unshowered and in his pj's?

merledogs Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Well done Maz I love Castell Coch Never been but always loved driving past it on the M4. I've been painting fence panels. I've done 4 out of a gazillion but it's a start. Back has completely seized up now and I have an odd pain in the front of my leg just where it joins my torso. It was like this yesterday - dunno what I've done to it. Weather is absolutely perfect today - sunny but not too hot and with a nice breeze.

I have told my dad the bad news... hopefully he will tell my mum when he picks her up, if not i will have to do it i really hope this weather is staying for a bit..... i am enjoying it muchly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
