quick hello before I head out for a birthday dinner Our walk was tremendous, it felt like summer out there today! Had lunch at a friends after too. Yogi, I stroked a Harvey dog during our walk today Be back later to reply properly

No, I didn't know that.

Enjoy the birthday dinner.

And YAY for the Harvey dog.

Enjoy your birthday dinner Summer

Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams.

For the night owls.

*pops in to say I got some hardy geraniums today Yogi*

night yogi and everybody

*night owls* we stayed out much much later than planned, time really does fly when the conversations are funny Hope everyone has had a good evening I'm pleased to see that baz bought some hardy geraniums- I actually saw one today in someone's garden! Sweetest of dreams all

Morning xx

Got a busy day, will catch up later.
Have a good day xx 

Good morning everyone

 

A bit grey and foggy here at present but should brighten up later.

 

See references to hardy geraniums I decided to do a search for half hardy geraniums and found this:

 

They are Geranium "Antik Orange"

Morning It's another beautiful day here I hope it stays this way a while El those geraniums are gorgeous, I didn't know half hardy ones exist! We have a few geraniums in pots and usually in our hanging baskets, they do last well Skylark I hope your busy day does smoothly with time for a cuppa in there somewhere

Good morning everyone.

El, that plant reminds me of my paternal grandmother (the green fingered one) who always had a geranium that colour, on her front window sill.

 

Ru, did you have a nice meal last night?

 

Skylark, have a good day.

 

Baz, well done on getting the hardy geraniums, they are really pretty plants.

 

I am still trying to psyche myself up for that clothes shopping trip - it's either today or tomorrow.

Good morning everyone, really misty here again.

 

Good luck with the clothes shopping Yogi, are you looking for anything in particular?

 

Glad you had a lovely dinner Summer and that the conversations were funny.

 

Lovely picture of the geraniums, lovely flowers but I cannot stand the smell of the leaves.

Hi Squiggle. I need to get a couple of pairs of trousers, a couple of dressy tops and some t-shirts. I will start in M&S and see where I go from there.

Back for a bit and out again soon 

Lovely flowers 
Are you looking for anything in particular on your clothes shopping , Yogi? 
Hi Summer, yes i am sitting down now with a cuppa and some crackers with pate  

Morning, again everyone else x 

Hello again.

You've put me in the mood for some crackers now - and I don't have any in.

You answered my question about the clothes, Yogi, we must have posted at the same time! Good luck, i hate clothes shopping 

Here are some crackers  Its awful when you fancy something and you dont have it in 

Ooh, we've gone Jacob cream crackers again

 

A couple of weeks ago at the fair trade stall I bought some ginger cake, they hadn't stocked it before.

 

It was somewhat more expensive than the usual McVities ginger cake but I bought it anyway. I tried it and thought it was far nicer than McVities as it is moister and has bits of stem ginger in it. So yesterday I bought another and others who had tried it said that it was the nicest they had ever had. It's Traidcraft Fair Trade Ginger cake. It's worth trying it out though I doubt if ordinary supermarkets stock it. (Places like Sainsburys stock Mrs Crimbles version at a similar price but I don't know if it's as good or if it's fairtrade)

 

Thanks for the crackers.

 

Mr Yogi has phoned to say he's coming home early, so my shopping trip might have to be postponed until tomorrow.

Your posts keep reminding me of my nana, she made the best gingerbread cake in the world.

I'll look out for the Traidcraft one.

Get hubby to bring you home some crackers Yogi 
Will look out too El, the Co-op does a good range here, we call it Scotmid up here x

Now that's a good idea!

Hubby on his way home, will be back later.

Bye i am off too, see you all later xx

Oh how funny, I've just snacked on 2 crackers i wish I could put pâté on them now though! Skylark I'm glad you got a cuppa I do love an energy top up when I'm busy. Yogi, shame your clothes shopping was thwarted if you go tomorrow, I hope you find what you need Have any of you tried sarah neilsons original gingerbread from grasmere? I LOVE it! And, you can buy it online

I like the cheeky wink.

Summer, my shopping trip didn't have to be postponed after all. Mr Yogi took me to Frankie and Benny's for lunch and then I went to M&S. I got a pair of trousers, two dressy tops, four t-shirts and two camisoles. Just have to get another pair of trousers, then I'm sorted.

Mr Yogi is a brave man to go clothes shopping with me, I have been known to get rather grumpy when I can't find what I'm looking for, or (Heaven forbid) when I have to go up a size.

Changing rooms are a nightmare, they are always so cramped and hot - and whoever invented full length mirrors should be shot! (Not literally)

Cant see your pic El 

That was nice going out for lunch Yogi, and then getting your clothes. Are you off somewhere or just getting your Spring wardrobe organised?

I am glad you shopping trip was successful Yogi, kudos to Mr Yogi

We're going away next week, for a few days to Prague. Mr Yogi has been before but it's my first time.

He got brownie points for today.

How lovely , have a brilliant time 

Thanks.

Off to have a bubbly bath, goodnight everyone 

Goodnight, sleep well.

yogi I'm really pleased you got your clothes unexpected and with company, you did it good I love Frankie & Benny's, it's the only place I'll eat a cheeseburger Skylark I hope you had a lovely relaxing bath sleep well

Mr Yogi likes Frankie and Benny's, he like pasta dishes.

They do a lovely Mushroom Alfredo Crostini starter - delicious!

Is it creamy..? I like mushrooms, preferably in garlic. I like the tomato spaghetti in there too I also like the decor & music

Hi Summer and goodnight, this Corrie thing has got me hooked! Cold bath coming up   xx
