What Time Is It And What Are You Doing?
Janet wrote: "Two of my favourite words ; 'chocolate' and 'orange'. A heavenly match!!"Have you tried making a choc orange and chestnut puree ice-cream-type pudding? Delicious!
Janet wrote: "Oh crikey! 😀 Sounds delish!"The recipe is based on one from a programme on TV (the BBC, I think) from 1995 called Ruth Mott's Country Christmas. We've made it more orange chocolatey! It might be in this book: Ruth Mott's Favourite Recipes 😀
9:33 AM Listening to Jean-Joseph Mouret: Rondeau from "Sinfonie de Fanfares" on YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZQG-... while wading through email and trying to catch up on GR overnight notifications.,
00:50 Got home from work an hour ago, but it was stressful so I am enjoying some time on GR and with Paolo Nutini in my ears. Will hop in to bed soon, but clear head first!
Its 20.00 here in the UK, just finished blogging and writing reviews. Only time I have had over the past few days as puppy has just been spayed and needs to be watched constantly, she keeps jumping up on things. So relaxing here while son and hubby do their turn.
Wouldn't worry about that, Sue, unless she starts knocking things off with the cone.12:26 PM Listening to Queen - The Prophet's Song (1975) on YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZjjs... while wading through email and trying to catch up on GR. This one doesn't get nearly the same amount of exposure as Bohemian Rhapsody, even though both are from the same album.
The Prophet's Song was based on a dream Brian May had about Noah's Ark, as you can hear in references to "two by two," "the new green bough" and "wings of the white dove."
Just put some washing out and now I'm giving some feedback on a NetGalley read. Something I haven't really got on with. Time is now 18:41.
10:13 AM Listening to Doro: Raise Your Fist In The Air on YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQW5R... while wading through email and trying to catch up on overnight notifications on GR.
16:30. Just starting the Success Principles 10-Day Transformation online course by Jack Canfield! I've bought the book too. My first task is to think of 5 things I want to change in my life over the next year...
Today did one of our Jewellery Stalls for the day..
Was worth it today, really busy, sold a lot.
But always come back shattered.
Up 5.00 am(same time every working day)
Takes up 1 1/2 to set up and an hour to pack, and it's heavy work. Four tables full of jewellery, pin flair, etc... and displays.
This year we have cut down to maybe one or two a month.

Janet wrote: "Storms indeed!! Laundry got washed again!! 😕"Oh, no! That usually happens just as everything is drying nicely :(
I have a dryer, Amber, but not everything can go in the dryer. Some stuff shrinks! Hoping tomorrow will be better.
Yes a dry day in Jersey yesterday, and again a lovely day today.
Lots of washing out, especially sheets as we make our bed/change the sheets every Sunday.
All just brought in and dry.
Also read my book in the garden and went out for a walk.
Also some gardening, taking out all our onions to dry, and planted more lettuces.
Our melon plants going wild !

I've been really working on getting my NetGalley books read and reviews written. I got backlogged and playing catch up isn't fun 😥. Lesson learned, I hope 😋 I've made a goal that I get 10 NetGalley reviews written from today on and then I will treat myself by reading Glass Houses
by Louise Penny 😳
12:24 PM Listening to Cheesemaking In The Early 19th Century by Townsends on YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B6qY... while wading through email and trying to catch up to GR.
It's 10.35 P.M New York Time and I just watched Raf Nadal beaten in the first set at US Open by 23-year old Taro Daniel. Great match!
9.19 am, Cornwall UK. Just having tea break, then returning to sausage making! 4 different pork flavours, and lamb and mint.
11:55 and waiting to leave for a weekend away with my best friend. We are going to sleep in a treehouse. I can't wait!
Well always busy watching tennis, for quite a few hours.
USA Open
With lots of shocks, a massive open draw in the mens.
And now only three ladies that can be number 1 at the end of this tournament?
Gardening and playing tennis.
Five days next week and then off for other week.

Here it is 3:20 in the afternoon. About an hour ago, we got a new couch and a new chair delivered. It feels really nice to have new furniture. We had the couch over 30 years so it is definitely time for a change.
I bet. :) 4:25 Pm Listening to Frankie Laine - Rawhide (Original 1958 Single Version) on YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KPpl... having caught up with all of yesterday's emails.
