Good morning Sunday

morning all ,beautiful again today

[JoM]

Morning all, it's dull and very warm here...and so humid. I'm just back from the gym, a bit later today as it doesn't open until 9am on Sundays. John's just driving Tom and M down to her house, she's been here since Friday lunchtime

Not sure what we're doing today, John's not had much sleep as his shoulder is very achey so I've just wired him up with a mini Tens machine to see if that'll help.

I had the first tomato out of my Mom's greenhouse last night, it was warm and so very tasty

Right, going to jump into the shower now!

Happy Birthday to L!

Have a good day all!

Morning all

Late getting in here as we've just been out to buy a new salad spinner, ours gave up the ghost a couple of days ago. We got this one http://www.johnlewis.com/oxo-good-grips-salad-spinner/p517052?navAction=jump it was a bit dearer than the type with the handle, but I can never do a good job with those anyway so fingers crossed spending a bit more proves a good buy.

Happy Birthday to L debih

Our evening was interesting, lots of gossip to catch up on, Lisa's just been to New York and they're off to Russia in a couple of weeks time. Food wise, well she decided on M&S lasagne this time and had also bought a big bowl of ready done salad. Pud was an M&S lemon torte. We love M&S food so it went down very well, but tbh her choice isn't what I'd personally dish up to guests, more something E and I would have for convenience when I can't be bothered to cook. Much better and tastier than last time though

Cooking a rotisserie chicken later to have with salad.........we'll look like rabbits soon

Hope you all have a good day

At least it was edible Jen, that's all that matters really

We have one of These which is the same idea.
Very expensive but one day it was a fiver on amazon - obviously that was the day I bought it
It is good, but awfully big - but the small one wasn't a fiver

Talking of salads, one of my lovely wooden 'salad hands' has broken, I found it in the drawer earlier before we served up the BBQ, but strangely nobody knows how it happened Will have to get myself down to Pro Cook and get some more

We've had a fab BBQ and sat on the deck with some wine, eating it We'd just finished when the heavens opened so we've decamped indoors - with the wine, natch

Jo, our tomatoes and cuke were homegrwon too

Becky was drinking one of those strawberry and lime Kopperburg ciders until a fly landed in it

[Diflower]

Oh I just fish 'em out Kaz and carry on drinking
No rain here, but I have just taken the washing in, in case. It was bone dry anyway, but I've been asleep

The babies are still cheeping like mad, not flying yet but a few attempts along the wooden fence at the bottom, they flutter up, board by board, then fall down

Sounds lovely Kaz, did you have the steak?
I've cut our chicken up and it's marinating - if the heavens do open it can go in the oven

[Kaz]

So would I Di, but Madam is fussier, I tried telling her the alcohol kills the germs............

Yes we had the steak, it was gorgeous, and grilled peppers, baby leaf salad, home grown toms and cuke and coleslaw

[Diflower]

Yum
Still undecided exactly what's going with ours

Hmm, you and I know we can't afford to throw a drink away - bet she hadn't bought it herself

[Kaz]

Nope Mick bought it for her in Morrisons

I took a pic of my plateful

[Gal]

That looks scrummy Kaz (nice plates too ) but I am still full from my lovely beef roast and rhubarb crumble at the pub

I said what we had done on my birthday thread.....hope L had a good birthday too Deb

We've eaten REALLY well this week!! I took a pic of my dessert on Friday night, treacle tart and ice cream...I tweeted it, hang on I'll see if I can post it here



Yayy!!! (That's my second G&T on the top of the pic as well )
