It's been a long time since I had to be Mrs taxi driver, I've encouraged him to get out there and spend time with his friends. He did pick us girls up last weekend so I don't mind returning the favour

I'm supposed to be in the bath now but I'm addicted to the jump

Does bb finish tonight?

Nice to return the favour.

 

I had an early bath and i'm sitting up in bed waiting on CBB starting. Yes, it's the final tonight - thank goodness, I'll be glad when it's over!

 

Has The Jump been good? Who are you rooting for to win?

I hope it's a good final

I've really enjoyed the jump, unexpectedly too! I wanted Steve-o to win but he's been eliminated tonight so I'm rotting for Mike Tindall now- this show has completely turned around my opinion of him

Aww.

The person I wanted to win is out, so I'm relieved that I can stop watching now.

I'm off to bed. Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer.

Hugs for Velvet and Ros. 

Sorry yogi, my internet dropped out, it's been doing it on & off for days now, it's frustrating because we switched to bt super-fast to get a better service

Sweet dreams, sorry your fav hm didn't win

aww nice to see you again moons

 

going to go night yogi and summer

Night Ros

Good morning everyone

 

Cold, grey skies amd frosty here. Ice scraper for the car will definitely be needed.

 

Summer, it may be worth your while looking at the BT advice on connection problems:

And if it's wireless also:

Good morning a foggy start here with a golden sunrise breaking through, it could be a beautiful day

Thank you El, that's really helpful we've reset the hub a few times and it's not helping beyond a few hours. I wondered if the snow/cold weather may affect the service, or the roadworks near the main connection. I'll keep you posted on progress

Good morning everyone.

 

Very frosty this morning. Brrr! 

 

Summer, I hope your broadband problems get sorted.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone, a really lovely morning but very cold.  I hope they can get to the bottom of the broadband problems quickly Summer it's so frustrating when you can't rely on it especially as you have such a fast service.

 

That's a lovely thing to say Summer my hubby and I worked as a team, before he got ill I had to undergo chemotherapy and he got me through it.  He used to whisk me home, sit me down, make me a cup of tea and give me a dry biscuit to cope with the nausea. They give you an anti-sickness drug in with the cocktail of drugs they pump into you but your tummy still feels a little wobbly.  He would then cook tea and just look after me, he was my hero

 

Enjoy your day everyone, no matter what you're up to

Summer, unless there's a loose or dodgy connection somewhere the snow/cold weather shouldn't affect your broadband.

 

I found this link which may be of use if it is wireless rather than wired. It may be the one BT get you to go to if the problem continues and you need their help/

My brother-in-law is a big Sherlock Holmes fan will pass on 

I wasn't looking for these today but new today from M&S:

Those look good EL, I buy Burford Brown eggs which are delicious, they yolks are deep orange.

More info of those M&S eggs:

To ensure a full box of six, M&S suppliers use a method called “candling” to individually inspect each egg by hand in front of a bright light to show the shadow of the yolks inside.

British Free Range Double Yolkers are available for £2.75 for a box of six.

So more expensive than ordinary eggs in shops.

Squiggle, I haven't had those Burford Brown eggs.

Hubby is interested in the double yolkers, El. I see a visit to M&S coming soon.

 

 Squiggle, are the Burford Brown eggs local to your area?

Yogi, the Burford Brown hens were originally bred at Broadway close to the Gloucestershire/Woreceshire boundary in the Cotwolds. They are sold in quite a few places including Sainsburys and Waitrose.

 

Would look nice on one of my walls

 

No Yogi, as EL says they are available widely, they are unlike any other eggs I have ever bought.  I first bought them about 2 or 3 years ago and wouldn't buy any other eggs now.  I get them in Sainsburys, we don't have Waitrose down here, whether they are available from other sources I don't know.

Evening afte a very busy day at work, I'm now relaxing with a glass of red wine. I've had a bath and have my onesie on
I hope you've each had a good day

Squiggle, I've no doubt your hubby is now on guardian angel duties, you two looking after each other is a wonderful example of "in sickness and in health" I hope your happy memories are making you smile daily

 

Thank you both. We don't have Waitrose near me but we do have Sainsburys, so I'll have a look next time I'm there.

Yay, a chillax night for Summer.

My day has been fine. Middle son and DiL came for tea and we watched The Voice.

 

Hi yogi how are your son & his lady?

They are very well, thanks Summer.  Both have been busy at work and are looking forward to a day off tomorrow.

 

What are your plans for tomorrow?

I hope they can have a nice lazy Sunday, it sounds like they've earned a rest

I'm laying in, walking the dogs and lazing around as much as possible afterwards
How about you?

I'm hoping to do very little. Maybe some ironing, walk Keira and cook dinner - that's it!

I love Sunday's
I bought some milk to make pancakes, only to find out the eggs in the fridge are out of date

Aww, that's a shame. Are they well out of date? 

I'm going to get off for a bath then bed.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer.

Hugs for any night owls.

night yogi and summer

Good morning everyone.

 

Another frosty morning up here. Brrr!

 

I'm hoping for a relaxing Sunday - we'll see how that works out.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning happy Sunday!

I hope you get a very relaxing sunday yogi, put your feet up and watch a nice movie.
Those eggs were 5 days out of date

Good morning Summer.

 

Is the date a "best before" or a "use by" date?

If it is a "best before", Mr Yogi would probably crack the eggs into a bowl and smell to see if they were okay. I would bin them!

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy and a bit mirky here. No frost but quite cold out there. Temperatures are forecast to rise a bit over the next few days in my area.

 

Summer, I can see you making a dash to the shops to get an emergency supply of eggs in for your pancakes

Good morning everyone, heavy frost and low lying mist this morning, melting away now.

 

I'm with Mr Yogi, I am sure the eggs would have been fine.  I grew up in the days before eggs were marked - even with a little lion, "go to work on an egg" - and that's going back a bit.  When you got a bad egg you sure knew about it and I have even plucked and gutted a chicken the smell, peg on nose time.  Obviously I had a deprived childhood and didn't even know it

 

Enjoy your day everyone

lol Squiggle, your post has taken me back to my childhood.

Dad was close friends with a local farmer and used to help out at weekends.

In fact, we used to move out to the farm for a week every May when dad took over the farm to let the farmer go on holiday.

We often got a chicken which needed plucking and gutting, for our Sunday dinner. My late brother and I loved standing on chairs at the deep sink (we had two sinks in our kitchen, for some reason) and we plucked and gutted the chicken.

I wouldn't be so keen to do it now! 

Aww Yogi I plucked and gutted that chicken with my brother who is no longer with us either.  I lost my brother when he was just 24 how did you lose yours?  I remember we enjoyed the plucking part, it seemed fine but got tiresome after a while but I can still remember the innards bit all too clearly.

Squiggle, I remember the slogan "go to work on an egg"
