Good Morning Sunday

[tonicha]

Aw, hugs Gal xx

It was a lovely lovely walk around the village - about an hour, although Grumpy started moaning about his hips, then his legs and having to duck under some olive trees (bent double I was, all you had to do was duck, as you're a short arxe )

So took him for some painkillers (beer) then made a really lovely pork stew (just tried it - really scrummy )

Chicken will be going in the oven in about half an hour and as I've had a couple of beers too we need to get some more tomorrow

Diet starts on Thursday - well, maybe Friday

[JoM]

LOL Ton, I'm trying to schedule in when to start the diet. Just bought a mahoosive box of Throntons chocolates from Tesco....

[tonicha]

Can't eat chocolate Jo Gladys doesn't like it

But, I'll be trying to make an appointment next week, to see the surgeon - and you never know. I could be in chocolate heaven

[Kaz]

Di, almost a 'snap' then, on the baguettes

Gal I'm so sorry to hear about N, I hope he will feel better soon (((((x))))

Ton if I got any greener about your sunshine I would be on the side of a tin of sweetcorn!!!

Did someone mention diets? I am a whale at the moment - strict cutting back of carbs in the New Year methinks!!!

[JoM]

Good luck with that Ton!

I walked down to town with Tom earlier as I needed some cream to make an Orkney tablet cheesecake. I got next year's Christmas cards - boxes and most of the individual ones that I need - and the gift wrap and tags too

[JoM]

Well at least this Christmas I've been able to get to the gym, the last few years it's either been closed due more days or I've had a cold.
I can do an early one tomorrow - Tom's delivering papers every morning this coming week so I'll get up to make sure that he does

[tonicha]

Sorry Kaz

We really are having a lovely winter We sometimes have rain for about 3 months - we did about 4 years ago - rained every day for what seemed like all winter But this year is lovely

[Kaz]

I am pleased for you really

[Gal]

Gal I'm so sorry to hear about N, I hope he will feel better soon (((((x))))

Thanks Kaz.....I know he is a good bit older than me but I always think of him as my age as he is my BIL, IYKWIM.....so to know he is *this* poorly is a bit scary....also they live in a huge 1930s semi, with a massive garden, which until last summer he could quite easily manage...

I'm sure once he gets this nasty cough/cold sorted he will be a bit better xxx

[Kaz]

Yes, I think I understand - and am sure he will feel much better once the bugs have gone xxxxx
